Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality

1.1 Improving Indoor Air Quality

Air cleaning can play an important role when it comes to improving indoor air quality. However, it should be noted that air cleaning should be used in conjunction with pollution source control and ventilation, wherever possible.

Strategy to improve indoor air quality

To tackle any indoor air quality problem, keep the following three-step strategy in mind:

1. Eliminate or reduce the air pollution source as much as possible. Source control is by far the most effective way to improve indoor air quality, since it sets out to deal with air pollution at the point of origin.

2. Ensure that sufcient fresh air is entering the room from outside. Air cleaners are not a substitution for sufcient ventilation. They are not able to reverse the conversion of oxygen (O

) into carbon dioxide (CO2), caused by

breathing and combustion processes.

3. Ensure the IQAir system can clean enough air to cope with your room size. The actual hourly air volume cleaned by the system should be at least double the air volume of your room. If the rate at which pollutants enter the room air is high or the indoor air quality requirements are stringent, the hourly air delivery of the system needs to exceed the room air volume several times. To achieve that level of air turnover, it may be necessary to employ more than one IQAir system, or employ an IQAir HVAC filtration system. (Refer to section 4.3.2)

Air Cleaning Results

Although air cleaners may be advertised and sold to be suitable for use in specic indoor environments and to deal with specic indoor air quality problems, the manufacturer and distributors make no claim as to the specic air cleaning results that are achieved under the user’s individual operating conditions. The air quality improvements that can be realized with the IQAir system (as with any air cleaner) in indoor environments depends to a signicant degree on circumstantial factors which are out of the control of the manufacturer or distributors. Important factors which will influence the air quality improvements that can be achieved in an indoor environment with an air cleaner include:

• Type of air pollutants present and their filtration efficiency

• Intensity of the pollutant source(s)

• Pollutant concentration

• Size of the indoor environment (room size)

• Operating speed of the air cleaner

• Number of air cleaners placed in the indoor environment

• Saturation state of the lters in the air cleaner

Consult a qualied specialist to determine an effective and comprehensive indoor air quality strategy.

Caution: Intense concentration of pollutants may cause filters/cartridges to saturate or expire sooner than indicated by the control panel.

2.2 Choosing a Suitable Location

When choosing a suitable location for the IQAir system, keep the following considerations in mind:

• Choosing the most suitable room for the

system will depend on where you would like the focus of the air cleaning efforts. Two main considerations are the time you spend in a particular room and the location of the main air pollution sources. As a general rule, the closer the system is located to the air pollution source, the better the air cleaning performance in the room.

Although an air cleaning result may be achieved in adjacent rooms, the main air cleaning will take place in the room where the system is located. For the best air cleaning results in adjacent rooms, make sure that doors to these rooms are left wide open.

• For best performance, the system should be positioned at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from the nearest vertical

surface, such as a wall or a cupboard. In general, the more centrally the system is positioned, the better the performance.

• Position the system close to a power outlet and make sure that the power cord is positioned in a way that it does

not present an obstacle in walkways.

• Make sure that the system is positioned in such a way that the control panel is easily accessible.

2.3 Connecting to Power

1. Plug the connector end of the power cord into the recessed power inlet socket on the back of the system.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip. Important: The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. If the system is disconnected from the power supply for more than one hour, the current day and timer will need to be reset.

Do not use the IQAir system when the power cord becomes damaged. The power cord may be replaced with an approved cord with a two-pole plug. Replacement cords are available from IQAir.

2.4 Fitting and Removing Casters

Chapter 2 – Setting Up

Attaching the supplied casters is optional. They make it easy to move the air purifier between rooms.

The caster kit consists of:

1. mounting rail (x 2)

2. casters (x 4)

For installation simply follow the below instructions:

Turn the device upside down on a soft and clean surface.

Place the mounting rail on the purifier’s base so that the holes line up with the black connector pins on the base. The cut-ins should face the center of the unit.

Press down until the mounting rail snaps into place. Repeat with second rail.

Place the caster onto caster pin.

Press on caster, until it snaps into place. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining casters.

Ensure that each caster is securely fitted before placing the air purifier in its upright position onto the casters.

Removing Casters From Your IQAir® Air Purifier

Chapter 2 – Setting Up

Switch the device off.

Remove each caster from the rail by pulling it straight off. The caster pins will be exposed.

There are two slotted tabs on each rail.

Using a flat-head screwdriver, press firmly into the slotted tab.

Use the screwdriver to gently loosen and lift the rail away from the base. Lift the rail out by hand. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the second rail.

Turn the device upside down on a soft and clean area or surface.

Chapter 3 – The IQAir® System’s Components

3.1 Description of Housing Components

The IQAir system features a modular tower design in which all important ﬁltration and air moving components are positioned vertically in-line, i.e. stacked on top of another. Air is drawn into the system at the base, and passes through several ﬁlter stages to be returned to the room via the diffuser on top of the system. The housing modules are held together by two locking arms.

• The base with its arched design features air intake openings on two sides.

• The PreMax filter module consists of frame 1 and the PreMaxfilter which is secured inside the frame by

four filter clamps.

• The fan assembly comprises two housing modules with the centrifugal fan inside.

• The HyperHEPA ﬁlter module consists of frame 2 and the HyperHEPA ﬁlter.

• The EvenFlow diffuser contains omni-directional air outlet openings.

• The handle on top of the diffuser is designed for carrying the IQAir system.

• The locking arms hold the housing elements together. When opened, the locking arms allow easy access

to all ﬁlters.
