1. Safety Operation may only be carried out after a instruction and training.
Maintenance and repair may only be carried out by qualied personnel.
Observe the principles for the safe operation of electrical devices.
For maintenance and repair work, the accompanying documents for the supplier
components must be observed.
Hazard potential emanating from the AstroPure Air Cleaner.
Electric shock:
Electrical supply line can possibly be defective.
Under no circumstances use devices with a damaged electrical connection cable.
• Check the power cords before use.
• Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.
• Electric cables must never be exposed to water, heat or sharp objects.
• Do not move the device by pulling the power cord.
• Avoid running equipment and vehicles over power lines, or provide adequate protection
for them.
• The device should be in the off mode to connect or disconnect the main power supply.
• Internal cabling (fan, control panel, UV-C stage) can be defective.
• Do not continue to operate devices with an internal error and, if possible, disconnect
them from the power supply.
• Carry out maintenance and repair work only when the power supply is disconnected and
the AstroPure air purier is switched off.
Crushing Hazard:
Due to its own weight, there is a risk of crushing when transporting and moving the
AstroPure air purier.
This can result in bruising of the extremities.
The AstroPure air purier must be moved with an appropriate method to avoid accidental
injury or damage of any kind.
Preferred method is to use approved lifting gear and secured against unintentional lowering
of the load:
1. protect the forklift forks before lifting
2. lift up slighty the AstroPure unit using the forklift and remove it from the wooden pallet
3. put down the AstroPure unit using the forklift

Resetting of operating hours
In the conguration menu, these values can be reset by pressing the corresponding button for
5 seconds.
Appropriate ow rate
To achieve best air cleaning results, the air cleaners ow rate must be adjusted to the individual
situation of the designated room.
Following calculation steps provide a basic guide line:
• The volume of the designated room in cubic meters (m³) is calculated by multiplying the room’s
length * width * height in meters: V = L * W * H
• The desired number of room air exchanges per hour (ACH) has to be selected (units: 1 /h). This
number is sometimes also referred to as air exchange rate.
When this value is not preset, the following ACH values represent the currently applied
recommendations:
• Good ventilation: ACH = 4 1/h
• Excellent ventilation: ACH = 6 1/h
• Purging of rooms: ACH = 10 1/h
16
AstroPure 2000 Main menu
-> after 5 s ->

18 19
The necessary air ow rate is then determined by multiplying the room’s volume V with the
desired air exchanges per hour.
• Necessary ow rate = V * ACH
Example:
• A room has the dimensions of (L * W * H) = 5 m * 8 m * 3 m
• The volume is calculated to 5 m * 8 m * 3 m = 120 m³.
• The desired air exchange rate is ACH = 4 1/h
• The air cleaner has to deliver 4 1/h * 120 m³ = 480 m³/h.
The table below serves for guidance.
Cleaning of the external surface
Always disconnect the AstoPure Air Cleaner from the power connection when cleaning it.
The surface of the device can be cleaned with common mild soap based household
cleaning detergents only.
Disposal
Spent lters should be packed in sealed plastic bags individually and disposed off in
accordance with local waste regulations.
Decommissioned electric and electronic equipment must be returned to approved collecti-
on points in accordance to the local waste regulations.
Inspection and maintenance per component
The device components and lters must be checked for function and wear at regular
intervals and serviced, at least after the periods specied below or earlier if necessar

If possible, disconnect the AstroPure air purier from the power
supply by pulling the plug. If it is not possible to pull out the mains
plug safely, the power supply must be interrupted by disconnecting it
from the building circuit (safety switch)
Fire ghting
In the event of a re, ght it with extinguishing agents approved for electrical
appliances. Dangerous substances escape in the event of re.
In the event of a re, do not breathe the fumes and smoke that may be produced.
After ensuring that the extinguishing is complete, ensure that the rooms are
adequately ventilated.
