1.6 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
1.6.1 INTENDED USE
The Oxidising Agents HEPA³Air is a highly performant mobile air filtration unit. It is dedicated to the
removal of microorganisms and particles. It is generally positioned in moderate risk areas such as
corridors, airlocks and to protect installations while work is being carried out, for example. It significantly
reduces contamination and may constitute an initial air purification stage before air is directed to a higher
risk area.
1.6.2 OPERATING PRINCIPLES
HEPA³Air sucks in, treats and recirculates the air in the room. It quickly abates ambient contamination
and maintains it at a low level, thus preventing the risk of hospital-acquired infection.
Its important air recycling rate, 10 to 20 folds the room volume per hour, enables a quick abatement of
the average contamination level through dilution process. Typically, a pollution peak generated by a door
opening is reduced by 90% in less than 10 minutes.

described in §3.5.1
2.2 START-UP
Connect the HEPA³Air unit to a power outlet ~ 230 V –50/60 Hz using the 2P+T 10 A power supply
cable provided. The screen turns on.
ATTENTION : THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY PLUG MUST COMPLY WITH REGULATORY
TEXTS AND BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED.
The HEPA³Air unit loads the operating programme. The initialisation screen appears (decontamination
is not active).
2.2.1 FIRST BOOT
When the HEPA³Air unit boots up for the first time, a succession of specific screens appears (called
first boot procedure), where the parameters described hereafter must be adjusted. Otherwise, the main
screen comes up directly (see §2.2.2).
NOTA : Validate the current screen and move to the next screen by pressing the icon. You
can return to the previous screen by pressing the icon.

§2.2.1.4).
Automatic start-up activated Automatic start-up deactivated
NOTA : If no buttons are pressed, the backlighting of the screen will decrease after 3 min. It will
turn off after an additional 30s when in Night mode.
2.3 CHANGING THE VENTILATION SPEED
The HEPA³Air unit is programmed with two ventilation modes (Day/Night) as well as a boost function
to provide maximum flow.
To select a mode, simply press the corresponding icon:
Night mode on:
Day mode on:
Boost mode on:
Generally speaking and/or when personnel are present, the device is used in DAY mode .
NIGHT mode is used to reduce the noise level of the device with a view to improving comfort, or
when no personnel are within the area of use.
You can set the device to automatically switch from Day to Night mode and vice versa (see §3.6)
NOTA : During start-up, let the unit run in BOOST mode for at least one hour in the closed
room.
NOTA : When the Boost mode is on, the fan of the HEPA³Air unit runs at maximum speed. The
flows displayed may therefore vary depending on the level of dust and clogging in the filters.
Maximum flow declines as clogging increases.

2.4 HANDLING WARNINGS AND ALERTS
2.4.1 DEFINITIONS
A warning message is displayed when a malfunction leads to degradation of the device’s performance
(decontamination, pressure drop, sound level) or when a filter needs to be replaced.
NOTA : The warning is indicated by the yellow backlight of the button; ventilation still works
but filtration performance may deteriorate. The green LED is no longer on and is replaced
with the following pictogram: .
Example:
An alert message is displayed in the event of a malfunction likely to affect the safety of people or
property. An alert systematically causes the fan to shut down. No further filtration function is ensured.
The device remains switched on.
NOTA : The alert is indicated by the switching off of the green LED, the lighting of the red LED
and the red backlight of the button.
Example:
