FASTER
The i-sense helps you to determine what rooms require more cleaning because
they detect increased CO2 levels indicating more usage of a space. This allows
you to focus on the right spaces and get the job done faster.
CLEANER
Using its CO2 sensor, the i-sense can help cleaning staff to focus on high contact
and high occupancy spaces that require more detailed cleaning. This ensures a
better clean due to more focus on important areas.
GREENER
i-sense helps to keep you informed of VOC levels. VOC levels can often be
harmful to the environment. Having advance notice of high VOC levels can help
you make adjustments for a greener space.
SAFER
The i-sense measures the quality of the air in a space. If there is poor or even
dangerous air quality, i-sense will let you know. With this information you ensure
that you can take steps to improve air quality and be notified if it changes.
BETTER FOR EVERYONE
The color LED lights on the i-sense units give you a visual indication of air quality
without the need to look through data. This allows people entering into a space to
immediately see the quality of the air and feel better about where they are.

Preface
Thank you for choosing i-sense, the device designed to monitor the quality of air. Air quality is
a measure of how clean or polluted the air is. Monitoring air quality is important because
clean air is safer and better for everyone. Probably the most common indicator is carbon
dioxide (CO2), produced by human breathing and emitted by appliances. Other indoor air
quality indicators are humidity and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are a group of
chemicals that are often found in buildings. They may or may not give off a smell, like paint,
air fresheners, cleaning products, cosmetics and many more. Also found in the air is a mixture
of solid particles and liquid droplets called particulate matter (PM). Some PM particles, such
as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, are large enough to be seen. Others are so small they can only
be detected using an electron microscope. The fine particles pose the greatest risk to our
health.
The i-sense is easy to use when you follow the instructions. Please read the user manual
carefully. Become familiar with the correct operation and maintenance procedures. Store the
manual in a safe place. The manual is an essential part of the i-sense and must be handed
over to the new owner upon resale or exchange. Each i-sense has a unique serial number that
can be found on the bottom of the main body. Your i-partner needs this number when you
order parts.
When this manual refers to “the manufacturer” this means: Future Cleaning Technologies
B.V.,an affiliate company of i-team Professional in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. When this
manual mentions “the partner” your local i-team reseller and support service partner is
referred to.
