BEFORE YOU START
INTRODUCTION TO THE AIRHAVN PRO
Thank you very much for purchasing the AirHavn Pro. Nearly all of us are affected by poor air quality
caused by airborne pollution and contamination: in traffic, in cities, outdoors, indoors, and inside the
car. AirLabs’ mission is to minimise air pollution exposure for people around the world and to drive
down the number of air pollution related deaths. The AirHavn Pro in-building air cleaning unit floods
rooms with large amounts of clean air, reducing exposure to airborne pollutants, contamination and
viruses.
The three-stage layer filtration system uses a metal pre-filter, a high-grade electrostatic precipitator
filter, to remove fine airborne particles, and an engineered nano-carbon filter, developed by AirLabs
in partnership with the University of Copenhagen, to remove gas pollution.
AirHavn Pro creates a healthier indoor environment for all occupants by removing up to 99% of indoor
airborne particles and gases. Particulate matter can include pollen, mould spores, soot, dander and
can vary in size from PM10 (10μm) and PM2.5 (2.5μm) down to particles below 0.1μm in diameter. It
removes the smallest nanoparticles, thought to be the greatest risk to health, along with particles
which carry bacteria or viruses. In addition to these particulates, the patented nano-carbon filter
element will remove up to 95% of nitrogen dioxide, ozone and sulphur dioxide, along with many
volatile organic compounds.
The AirHavn Pro is a portable stand-alone unit that requires no changes to the room’s ventilation
system or interior configuration and is easily installed within minutes. The AirHavn Pro is powered by
mains electricity using the power lead provided.
Air is drawn into the AirHavn Pro, cleaned, and then specifically directed around the room providing
clean air to anyone within the space. The design of the AirHavn Pro ensures that the clean air
efficiently reaches all areas of the room. It is equipped with a powerful fan that is capable of delivering
up to 705 cubic meters of clean air per hour.
Please read this user guide thoroughly before installation and operation and retain it for future
reference.

INSTALLATION
The AirHavn Pro is designed for in-building use and can be situated anywhere within the internal space
where clean air is required. For best performance results the recommended location is against a flat
wall with the back of the unit facing the wall and the front of the unit facing out into the room.
During operation, air is drawn into the front of the AirHavn Pro and through the filter system. Clean
air is delivered into and around the room from the two outlet vents on the sides of the unit and from
the outlet vent on the top.
Do not obstruct the air flow of the unit by blocking any of the vents.
Commercial spaces are required to ensure a minimum standard of fresh air is introduced within
enclosed spaces in order to provide a safe and healthy working environment for people within the
room. These requirements must be adhered to regardless of using an AirHavn Pro to clean the air.

OPERATION
The AirHavn Pro is operated using the control panel on the front of the unit which also provides
information on the status of the unit.
On/Off
To switch on the AirHavn Pro, just plug it in and the unit will power on in Standby mode with the speed
setting showing 0.
To switch the AirHavn Pro off, just unplug it. The AirHavn Pro uses very little power while in Standby
mode, but we still recommend unplugging it when not in use to save energy.
Note: When the AirHavn Pro is first switched on from new, or occasionally during operation, a sparking
noise can be heard within the unit. This is the normal operation of the filter created by particle
contamination on the electrostatic plates of the filter and is completely safe.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
THE AIRHAVN PRO MUST ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY
SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE IS CARRIED OUT.
Access to the service elements of the unit is via the access door on the right hand side of the unit. The
door opening includes a finger pull mechanism and also incorporates a safety microswitch which cuts
the power supply to the unit if the door is opened before the power is disconnected at the mains plug.
The microswitch must not be modified for any reason, and must not be used in the closed position in
any way so as to compromise safety. If the microswitch is broken the unit will stop functioning. Contact
AirLabs support for the replacement of this component.
The AirHavn Pro uses 3 stages of filter systems to provide clean air within an indoor space. The 3
filters used in these stages are defined below and require periodic cleaning and replacement. The
control panel of the unit will indicate when the filter system needs servicing – see Filter Status
section for more information:

Metal Pre-Filter
The metal pre-filter is designed to trap larger particles present in the air and for creating a uniform
airflow into the next stage of filtering.
During operation, the metal pre-filter must always be inserted correctly into the location slot.
During maintenance, the filter must be handled with care to prevent damage.
Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) Filter
The filter works by using a high voltage power source to apply an electrical charge to any particles
within the airflow and then trap those charged particles on collection plates within the unit. Particles
can include pollen, mould spores, soot, dander and can vary in size from PM10 and PM2.5 down to
particles below 0.1μm in diameter.
The ESP filter is fully insulated from the rest of the unit by high-quality ceramic insulators and connects
to the power supply with a contact terminal strip when the unit is inserted correctly into the seating
location.
