Summary of Key Features

State-of-the-art filtration technology

Your CleanZone H13 air filtration system utilises advanced air filtration technology to remove
solid and liquid contaminants such as dust, aerosols, bacteria, viruses and smoke particles.

The CleanZone H13 features the following air filtration technologies:

•High-capacity pre-filtration for coarse and fine dust particles

•Cleanroom grade HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtration for ultra-fine particles

Advanced control panel features

To provide you with important information about your air cleaner’s performance and to allow you
to take advantage of advanced operational features,your CleanZone is equipped with a state-of­the-art control panel with a 2x16 character LCD display. The unique features include:

•A display that informs you about the air flow rate at different fan speed settings

•Electronic controls that monitor the remaining life of the system’s individual filter elements

and prompt filter replacement

•A daily and weekly timer to automatically switch the CleanZone on and off at a preset time

•A countdown timer to allow the CleanZone to run for a set number of hours before

automatic switch-off

Easy filter replacement

To ensure convenient filter replacement, your CleanZone features a revolutionary housing
design. By releasing the latches on the front and back of the system, immediate access is gained
to the filter elements. This enables the quick and simple replacement of the filters without tools.

Environmentally friendly design

The CleanZone’s filter elements have been designed to ensure maximum performance, while
creating minimum waste. This is achieved by employing light-weight framing and large surface
long life filter media.

Low energy consumption

Due to a high-performance centrifugal fan system, the CleanZone consumes little energy in
relation to the amount of filtered air it produces. Unlike many other air cleaners, the energy
consumption of the CleanZone decreases proportionally when set on lower fan speeds,thanks to
a special electrical speed control set-up.

Power Key

The Power key turns your system on and off. When your CleanZone is turned off,the fan stops to
run, but the system will remain connected to the power supply (standby mode). The standby
mode allows for automatic timer start-up. In the standby mode, you can also access the different
menu functions.

Arrow Key

When the air cleaner is switched on, the ▲ key allows you to adjust the fan speed. In the enter
mode, indicated by the appearance of a black flashing cursor (see “Enter Key” below), you may
also use the ▲ key to modify the selected setting in the display window.

Menu Key

The Menu key allows you to access any one of eight menus.Press the Menu key once to reach the
first menu function. Press the Menu key twice to reach the second menu function, and so on.

Enter Key

The Enter key, if pressed for 3 seconds,allows you to modify a setting.The enter mode is indicated
by a flashing cursor on the modifiable setting. Pressing the Enter key again will save any entry
and move the cursor to the next modifiable item in the display window. When the last modifiable
choice in a window is confirmed with the Enter key, the enter mode is automatically terminated.

Locking Function

The control panel can be locked to avoid tempering with the control settings. To lock or unlock
the control panel, the Menu and the Enter key have to be pressed down simultaneously for 3
seconds. The activated locking function is indicated with a star symbol in the control panel
display. The locking function is also cancelled by disrupting the power supply.

Filter Life LEDs

Whenever the air cleaner is running, the colour of the filter life LEDs (light emitting diodes)
indicates the state of the individual filters in the unit.

The filter life indicator LEDs signal four possible stages in the life of the filter:
Green: The filter is still within 80% of its estimated life span.
Orange: The filter is approaching the last 20% of its estimated life span.
Red: The filter has reached the end of its estimated life span.
Red blinking: The filter has passed its estimated life span and should be replaced immediately.

The air cleaner’s effectiveness is likely to have been reduced dramatically, either
due to a reduction in air flow (particle filters are clogged) or a reduction in filter
efficiency (carbon filter is saturated).

Fan Speed LEDs

These LEDs simulate the fan speed through the frequency of their rotation.The faster the rotation
of the fan speed LEDs, the faster the actual fan speed of the unit.

Chapter 2 - Using the Control Panel

Regulating Fan Speed

Your CleanZone can be set to run at five fan speeds which correspond to five different air flow
rates. Speed 1 is the lowest,speed 5 the highest fan speed.The higher the air flow, the more room
air will be filtered by the unit.

To allow better evaluation of the performance of your air cleaner at different fan speeds, the
standard display window shows in addition to the fan speed also the air delivery rate (air flow).
The displayed air flow is factory preset and is not measured by the air cleaner itself.

1. When the CleanZone is turned off (standby

mode), the first line of the LCD display shows the
current day and time.To switch the unit on, press the
Power key on the far left of the control panel.

2. The LCD now displays the fan speed and the

corresponding air flow rate. N

ote: the system
starts at the fan speed at which it was running
when it was last used.

3. To change the fan speed, press the ▲ key.
Pressing the ▲ key repeatedly will increase the
fan speed until the maximum fan speed is reached,
then starting off at the lowest speed again.

Changing the Air Volume Units

1. You can change the air volume units which are dis­played from metric to imperial, i.e.from cubic meters
per hour (m2/h) to cubic feet per minute (cfm), and
vice versa, by pressing the Enter key for three
seconds either when the unit is turned on or off.

2. When the first character of the air volume units
starts to flash, press the ▲ key to change the units.

3. Press the Enter key to confirm the air volume unit
change. Until modified again, the air flow rate will
now be displayed in the newly selected units.
