Air Cleaning Capacity Specifications.3.2
The air cleaning capacity of the FixAir models is given for standard and
high air-loads such as in toilet facilities, laboratories, changing rooms,
pathology areas, food storage rooms, cold storage rooms for meat/fish/-
cheese, defrosting areas, ripening, or pickling rooms, and food processing
rooms.
With extreme air-loads such as in waste storage rooms, animal husbandry
rooms, recycling rooms, strongly odor-contaminated rooms of all types,
the air cleaning capacity of the individual FixAir Room models is reduced
as follows:

Proper Use of the Device.5.
FixAir Room systems are checked thoroughly prior to their delivery for
possible material quality problems and functioning inconsistencies.
The incorrect use or a use different to what the devices are intended for can
create unnecessary risks.
Always operate the device in accordance with the information provided in
this User’s Manual. Incompliance with the instructions here given will render
all warranty claims invalid and no liability will be assumed.
FixAir devices must never operate in rooms where there is risk of fire.
FixAir devices are to be installed on the ceiling or wall of a room.
FixAir devices must not be operated in a corrosive atmosphere.
FixAir devices are not waterproof and must be protected against
moisture.
The housing of FixAir devices must be checked for dirt/dust on a
regular basis and cleaned if it is deemed necessary.

Functional Description.6.
POLLUTANTS, MICROORGANISMS AND PATHOGENS
(VIRUSES AND BACTERIA).
6.1
FixAir ionization systems’ effectiveness in purifying the air lies in the
capacity that the ions they generate have for reaching practically
every surface and every corner inside the space the devices have been
properly selected for. Once in the air ions alter oxygen molecules in
the environment creating reactive oxygen compounds that are better
known as “active oxygen”. These compounds neutralize air pollu-
tants and microorganisms by means of oxidation.
The needlepoint technology in FixAir systems consists of oppositely
charged pairs of electrode brushes made of special carbon fiber mate-
rial. These electrodes are energized with a high voltage charge which
generates a bipolar ion discharge throughout the air molecules in
their proximity. Contact with positive and negative ions has microbici-
dal effects on pathogens (viruses and bacteria), which in the end dis-
rupt their surface proteins rendering them inactive.

CLUSTERING.6.2
PM2.5, that is, particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter
and smaller -particles abundant in cities and industrial areas- can get
deep into the lungs and even reach the bloodstream. In the lung these
particles irritate and corrode the alveolar wall, and consequently impair
lung function. Bipolar ions generated by FixAir systems are attracted to
the particles in the air attaching to them while they are suspended in
the air or on surfaces; these particles agglomerate to form clusters that
become sufficiently heavy and thus precipitate due to gravity´s effect,
ridding the air of their presence.
VOC’S6.3
Bipolar ions make water and oxygen present in the air react, creating active
oxygen which consists of hydroxyl radicals, oxygen radicals and bipolar oxygen
ions (positive/negative).

These components are high in energy and oxidize both the organic and inorganic
pollutants present in the air, pollutants that can generate unpleasant odors, with
only carbon dioxide, water and other harmless elements resulting
as byproducts.

All FixAir products undergo thorough quality control checks before
being carefuly packed, and their packaging is suitably designed and
manufactured for transport. When opening the package, with the Con-
tents List in hand do check that all contents are complete, in good
condition and that the device is opperational. Please report any
findings to your dealer inmediately, for claims made at a later date will
not be honoured.
To select the proper location for the instalation of your FixAir Room
device, the following considerations must be taken into account:
Installing.9.
Only qualified staff may work on the device!
When installed in a cold room, connect the device to a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) socket, or
directly to the evaporator unit.
Only qualified staff may mount or carry out maintance on
the device.
The device must be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) socket, or directly to the evaporrator
unit of the air conditioner when installed in a cold room.
The maximum room size your FixAir Room device is suitable for must be
in accordace with the indications provided in Table 3.
1.
These components are high in energy and oxidize both the organic and inorganic
pollutants present in the air, pollutants that can generate unpleasant odors, with
only carbon dioxide, water and other harmless elements resulting
as byproducts.

ENGLISH
Do not install the device in a location where it may obstruct the safe
movement of persons, materials or vehicles.
2.
To achieve a more homogeneous spread of the bipolar ions generated by
your FixAir Room device, position it in the line of the air flowing out of
the HVAC‘s grills or evaporator, but not to blocking the free flow of air.
3.
The electrical cord provided with your FixAir Room device is 3 meters
long.
4.
Once the proper location of the FixAir Room device has been selected,
use the Installation Holes Drilling Template to mark the exact spots
where the screws are to be installed. NOTICE: be sure to choose the type
of stud and screw that is appropiate for the ceiling material and/or cei-
ling construction system. Figures 5A and 5B.

After having prepared the holes in the ceiling material or installation
system (drywall for example), to fix your FixAir Room device to the
ceiling follow these easy steps:
Insert the electrical power cord in the device‘s socket (see figure 6.)
without connecting it to the power source.
1.

Starting Up Your Device.
Start-Up.10.
Turn on the device by pressing the On/Off switch. Its LED light will turn
on, the two interior fans will inmediatelly start spinning along with the
flow of bipolar ions out into the room.
To turn off the device, press the On/Off switch again.
Identify the two (2) diagonally opposed holes on the black plate for
ceiling installation. See figure 8.
3.
Present the body of the device over the holes on the ceiling making
them match those on the back plate. Insert the screws and tighten
them.
4.
Make sure the device is fixed firmly to the ceiling and place the front
panel back on by means of it’s four screws.
5.
Connect the electrical cord to the electrical power source or to the
GFCI socket.

FixAir strongly recommends the device be cleaned on a regular basis and
at least twice a year, taking the following instructions into consideration:
Carrying out Maintenance on the Device.11.
MAINTENANCE TASKS ACTIONS
The FixAir Room device must be
disconnected from the AC outlet before
starting maintenance work.
Remove the front panel screws (4 in total).
With the help of an Allan wrench softly
pull the front panel away from the hou-
sing. See figures 7A and 7B.
Opening the
housing
Caution, high voltage!
Disconnect the device from the AC outlet. To avoid an
electrical shock or a short circuit during maintenance
work, the device must be disconnected from the electrical
supply
Only qualified staff may carry out maintenance work!
Only qualified technitians may carry out maintenance
work on the device.
Take the economic life-time of the bipolar ionizers
into account!
The average economic life-time of an ionizer is
approximately 34,000 hours, roughly corresponding to
four years of continuous operation.
With a soft brush and/or an electric
duster remove the dust that has
accumulated, specially that on the fan
blades and bipolar ionizer carbon
brushes.
With a damp cloth remove the the dust
that has depposited on the housing both
externally and internally.
Be sure to wipe the surfaces dry once
finished.
