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 top or under a cassette o minisplit
type of air conditioning system.
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.

Transport and Packaging.8.
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.

Fig. 5: Installation of the FixAir Mini device on a evaporator unit
equipment of the minisplit or cassette device.
Remember: your FixAir Mini device must be in accordance with the indica-
tions provided in Table 3.
-
Attach the device to the evaporator unit of the split system correctly,
ensuring that the UV light is not directly visible to the occupants of the
room in which the HVAC equipment is located.
-
Do not install the device in a location where it may obstruct the safe
movement of people, materials, doors, or vehicles.
-
To achieve correct distribution of the bipolar ions generated by your FixAir
Mini device, make sure to place it in the air suction line of the evaporator.
-
The power cord supplied with your FixAir Mini device is 1,5 meters long.
-
Pass the two plastic straps through the suction slots of the evaporator
unit of the 'split' type device, locating them one from the other and close
them only partially.

2. Present the body of the mini split device and thread the straps over the
lower chassis lugs at both ends.
3. Tighten the straps while compressing the lower plate, until the equipment
is completely adjusted to the evaporator unit.
4. Check and make sure the device has been properly secured to the evaporator
unit.
5.
Adjust the length of the connection cable by measuring the distance
between the device connector and the connection terminal block (located
inside) of the evaporator unit. Trim the cable to the desired length.
