Set-up instructions & features
1
Remove Air Sniper™ from crate or carton and remove any exterior wrappings.
2
Plug in power cord (115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz receptacle).
3
Turn Air Sniper Power ON
4
When you first turn on your Air Sniper it will begin at maximum fan speed to cycle the air out of the unit.
5
Bulb light will glow red if bulbs are broken or displaced during shipping.
6
Set fan speed (Up/Down arrows). There are four speeds.
7
Listen to operating unit and “air rush” sound. If there are any "unusual"
noises, immediately turn off the power and notify your Dealer or AIR, Alpine
Innovative Research Inc as shipping damage may have occurred.
8
Check that there are no red fault (fail) lights glowing. These lights, if
"red", are indicators of failures in the major components of the system. If all lights
are green and blue the unit is already cleaning your air. The unit effectively cleans the air at all fan speeds. However, higher fan speeds increase
the flow through the unit thereby increasing the volume of air treated in a given time. Increased fan speeds are accompanied by increased "air
rush" noise, so owners may adjust speeds to noise level tolerance.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the UV-C lamps outside the unit. UV-C radiation is extremely harmful to
unprotected (uncovered)
eyes and skin.
