About the MCI™ ProtectAIR
This unit is designed to be permanently mounted to a wall surface in several dierent
applications. The MCI™ ProtectAIR unit can be outfitted with a mounting bracket and
120-240VAC power adapter and used as a wall mounted air purifier in a large room,
small oce, or similar space, or it can be outfitted with rubber feet and used as a
stand-alone unit. The MCI™ ProtectAIR eectively renders bacteria, viruses, mold,
mildew and other contaminants in the air, and on surfaces, harmless on a continuous
basis. Treatment from the MCI™ ProtectAIR unit also eliminates odors to create a
cleaner, safer environment.
The wall mounted (or stand-alone) MCI™ ProtectAIR is designed to improve indoor air
quality by dealing with pollutants in a proactive way. The MCI™ ProtectAIR produces
aggressive ionized oxidizers and trademarked MCI™ multi-cluster ions that are then
distributed throughout the home or office. This trademarked MCI™ Multi-cluster
Ionization Technology, using an enhanced output, represents the newest generation of
proactive air purification, is completely safe, unlike high levels of ozone, and effectively
destroys mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
the odors associated with them in the air and on surfaces. When used as part of a
holistic solutions protocol, the MCI™ ProtectAIR provides a comfortable indoor air
environment. This particular air purifier is designed to cover up to 12,000 cubic feet of
living environment. (1,500 square feet with 8’ ceilings).

Installation (Stationary - Surface Mount)
1. Determine location for desired
placement of unit close enough to
a power outlet to allow the included
120/240 VAC to 12 VDC power
adapter to be plugged in. Typically,
the angled grill should be pointed
upward and mounted as high on the
wall as practical, within 18 inches of
the ceiling if possible.
2. Plug the power adapter’s elbow style
DC connector to the back of the
MCI™ ProtectAIR unit.
3. Attach the MCI™ ProtectAIR unit to the
wall location with included screws,
utilizing the mounting bracket flanges.
Make sure there is adequate clearance
of at least 6 inches above and below
the unit to allow for air flow.
4. Make a proper electrical connection of
the 12VDC power adapter to the outlet.
To Use as a Stand-Alone Unit:
Remove the mounting bracket from the
back of the unit and attach the four (4)
rubber feet provided with the unit to the
bottom of the unit, one on each corner.
