1 Introduction
The FILTR Revolution Air Filtration System was engineered to combat all forms of air
pollution, from mold spores and smoke particles to viruses and microbes. Using FDA
regulations as a base, the Revolution provides superior protection and filtration in a
mobile, affordable package.
The Revolution combines VOC reduction, HEPA filtration, and patented bipolar
ionization technology to protect everyone and everything in the environment. Onboard
sensors track particle count and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) increases to detect
outbreaks, while the multi-stage filter system provides Clean Room grade filtration
down to .01 microns.

Superior Filtration
Pre-Filter
The Revolution starts the filtration process with a Pre-Filter rated at MERV 8.
Figure 1-2
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, a standard scale to rate the
effectiveness of air filters. The MERV 8 rating of the Pre-Filter represents the filters
ability to control contaminants of down to 3.0 microns in size, removing contaminants
like textile fibers, pollen, and mold spores from the air.
Carbon Filter
The second stage of filtration in the Revolution is a custom-designed carbon/potassium
permanganate filter.
Figure 1-3
Carbon filtering uses activated carbon in a process called chemical adsorption. This
process traps air contaminants and VOCs, and helps to remove odors from the filtered
air.

FILTR Revolution Operators Manual
248083486-1 R2 3
HEPA Filter
The third filtration stage is the HEPA filter.
Figure 1-4
Air is forced through the HEPA filter before returning to the environment. This filter is
rated at MERV 17, representing a 99.98% efficiency at removing particles as small as 0.3
microns from the environment. This filter is capable of capturing carbon dust, viruses,
bacteria, and smoke particles, providing an exceptionally clean output from the
Revolution.
Bipolar Ionization
Ionization
In the output of the Revolution unit is the Ionizer. This patented bi-polar ionizer
produces both negatively charged air molecules and positively charged air molecules.
These charged molecules produce several effects:
•Ionized particles can kill live bacteria in surrounding atmosphere. This provides
an immediate benefit of cleaning the Revolutions output air even more, and
helping to scrub clean the air around the unit.
•The charged molecules attach themselves to airborne contaminants and
allergens. The change in mass for the particles causes them to become heavier
than the surrounding air molecules, enabling gravity to pull down the
contaminated air and prevent it from spreading.
•VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the surrounding area can be neutralized
by these charged particles, removing chemical contaminants that could cause
long-term health effects.

Onboard Sensors
The Revolution unit comes with a Sensor Pack that expands the user’s ability to track
the environment surrounding the unit. The Sensor Pack can communicate information
about the Temperature, Relative Humidity, VOC levels, and Particulate Matter levels.
The FILTR app is required to view the data generated by these sensors, and enables
users to track these metrics from anywhere they have a data connection.
Figure 1-5
Temperature
The FILTR app can display the temperature at the Revolution unit. This display is able to
be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius, and is accurate to within 0.9 degrees F/ 0.5 degrees C.
The FILTR app is able to alert the user based on Alarm Settings to conditions that are
outside of those desired.
Relative Humidity
A RH sensor within the Revolution unit provides Relative Humidity information to the
user via the FILTR app. This sensor has an accuracy of +/- 3%.
The RH sensor information accessible via the app allows the user to track RH trends, and
alerts the user to undesired changes. Updates are provided every ten minutes.
Volatile Organic Compounds
VOCs are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperatures.
These chemicals can cause health issues via both short-term and long-term exposure.
This class of contaminants is analyzed by the Sensor Pack on the Revolution unit, and is
communicated to users via updates on the FILTR app every 10 minutes. Measurement is
recorded and displayed in parts per billion.
Particulate Matter
The Revolution unit’s Sensor Pack contains a PM2.5 sensor. This sensor measures
Particulate Matter in the environment less than or equal to 2.5 microns in diameter.
The FILTR app updates the PM reading every ten minutes, and records and displays the
measurement in micrograms per cubic meter, ug/m³.
The Sensor Pack, located on the
lower left side of the Revolution,
pulls in and exhaust air through
these holes

Mounting and Integration
The Revolution has optional hardware that enables the user to mount the unit onto
wooden studs in a wall, onto Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) or other metal framing,
and even be integrated into a HVAC duct system or ducted on its own.

Revolution Smartphone App
While the Revolution unit maintains all of its physical functionality via the keypad
interface, the FILTR app expands the capability of the user to control the Revolution
remotely and monitor the environment the unit is in.
Figure 1-8
Using the FILTR app (listed as FILTR in the Google Play store and FILTR AIR in the Apple
App Store), a user can perform the following with the Revolution unit:
•Control the Fan speed
•Turn the Ionizer on and off
•View the current Temperature, RH, PM, and VOC readings
•View a graph of all measured sensor data points for the last day, week, or month
•Adjust the Alarm thresholds for each measured data type
•…. and more!
The FILTR app also sends the registered user email alerts based on filter usage and user-
defined Alarm thresholds.
As long as the Revolution unit is within range of its local wireless router, and the user
has a data connection, the user of the FILTR app is always connected to their unit, no
matter the distance.

Simple Filter Replacement
The Revolution was designed with serviceability in mind. While the unit can operate
without constant physical interaction, as with any filtration device physical access will be
necessary for filter maintenance.
Revolution is engineered to make filter replacement quick and easy. Access to each filter
compartment is gained via four latches being released and the unit opened.
Figure 1-9 Figure 1-11
Each contained filter is designed for drop-in replacement – no extra clamps, fittings, or
latches. Simply remove the old filter and place in a new one.
For replacements, contact your local distributor, or Lighthouse Sales at 541-454-8308.
