By purchasing an Airo Home/Hobby photocatalytic air purifying system, the most advanced and effective airborne pathogen reduction system
available, you’ve positioned yourself as a leader in your industry. The Airo Home/Hobby products were developed from NASA technology and
use a patented process to kill airborne Powdery Mildew, Mold, Botrytis, as well as other Bacteria, Viruses, and pathogens in Cannabis
Cultivators & Grow facilities. The same process breaks down VOC’s, like ethylene gas, formaldehyde and many odors, into micro amounts of
harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Congratulations
Important Safety Instructions
For your safety and protection, read this entire Owner’s Manual before you attempt to install or use your Airo Home/Hobby system. Keep this
safety information where you can refer to it if necessary.
DO NOT run cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. DO NOT route cord under furniture or
appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
Cautions & Symbols on Unit
Technology
As contaminated pathogenic air is processed through the photocatalytic reactor, the patented green technology, intergrated with Photocatalytic
Oxidation (PCO), works in unison to destroy harmful airborne microbes and dismantle volatile organic compounds (VOC) while not producing
any by-products. Airo Home Hobby is energy efficient, consuming approximately energy of (1) 100 watt light bulb.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a component photocatalyst material used in the device. A unique process is used to create the patented TiO2 formula
that coats the catalyst material. When this material is irradiated with the ultraviolet photons from the Airo Home Hobby proprietarty lamps
inside, hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions are formed. These species will oxidize (reduce to trace elements of carbon dioxide and water)
volatile organic compounds (VOC's) adsorbed on the catalyst surface. They will also kill and decompose airborne pathogens like powdery
mildew, mold, botrytis, bacteria and yeast. Because the organic material is completely oxidized by this process, the photocatalytic reactor is
self-cleaning relative to organic material on the catalyst surface. Airo Home/Hobby does not generate nor use ozone and/or any other type
of gas or chemical.
Our Air Sanitation technology has been in commercial use since 1999. The technology has been deployed in a broad base of global food and
agricultural companies. We have proven strong efficacy with eradication of all forms of airborne fungal diseases such as Powdery Mildew. As
mentioned above, all the kill happens inside our reactor bed without using and/or producing any gas or chemical - thus, we do not claim to clean
surfaces. It is important that your room, where Airo Home/Hobby is installed, has reliable environmental controls and pest management
practices to work in conjunction with the technology in order to optimize your facilities sanitation.

Figure 1
Airo Home/Hobby uses truly breakthrough
technology to remove airborne pathogens. It
works by drawing in air through its Air Entry Port
and then forcing it through its Reactor Bed where
a photo-catalytic reaction kills living organic matter
like mold/fungi, bacteria and viruses and breaks
down organic gases (VOC’s) like ethylene.
NOTE: Your Airo Home/Hobby comes with a
protective 2” Filter. The filter needs to be checked
periodically to ensure it is not clogged. We
estimate that the filter should last approximately 3
months.
NOTE: Depending on the particular dust load in a
given facility, the filter may need to be changed
more frequently.

Power
Switch
Installation
NOTE: The Airo Home/Hobby unit will perform the best when it
is located within the active air current that occurs within your
facility. This allows for a greater distribution of the units
processed (clean) air.
It appears that in most facilities –the most active air current
tends to be in the center of the room.
Thus, we recommend that the Airo Home/Hobby unit be
hung, from the ceiling, as close to the center of your room
as possible. The unit should be hung upside down (see
figure 2) and at the level that is flush with the bottom of
your light fixtures.
Figure 2
1) Take the unit carefully out of its shipping box.
NOTE: The air exiting the unit will be warm. Do not let
any objects touch the air exit port or get trapped inside
the air intake hood vent (see figure 1 on above).
NOTE: If installing multiple units, attempt to put the units
equal distance from each other. Hang from the ceiling
and as close to center as possible as described above.
The unit’s air exit port must be at least 36” away from any
obstructions. Do not have any other air source blowing
directly into the unit’s Air Exit Port.
2) You will see on the underneath side of the Airo
Home/Hobby there are 4 U-clamps that will be used to
hang the Airo Home/Hobby unit from the ceiling. See
figure 3 on page 4.
3) The manufacturer has included 2 harnesses (one for the
left side and one for the right side. These are
interchangeable). Please attach the harness per
Figure 3 on page 4 (i.e. Hook 1 to u-clamp left top
corner. Hook 2 to u-clamp lower left corner. Hook 3
to top right corner u-clamp. Hook 4 to lower right
corner u-clamp. Hooks A & B will be used to attach
the unit to your ceiling in step #6 on page 4).

4) Prior to attempting step #5 on this page –ensure that the Airo
Home/Hobby lid is securely in place.
WARNING: If the Airo Home/Hobby lid is not properly secure,
prior to installation, seriously bodily harm can occur if the lid
falls off.
NOTE: The unit weighs 18 lbs. Make sure that your installation
materials can properly support the unit. If you have any doubt
about the security of the mounting surface, contact an engineer
or other individual with knowledge of the ceilings construction.
5) You will need to provide the material to attach the harness to
your ceiling. Attach two supporting lines to your ceiling- One
from hook A to the ceiling support and one from hook B to the
ceiling support. The manufacturer would recommend you use
the same material that is used to hang your light fixtures (i.e.
thread rod, metal chain, metal cable, etc.) See figure 4 below.
6) Once you have securely hung the Airo Home/Hobby and
insured that the unit’s lid is securely fastened, next, plug the
Airo Home/Hobby into your power source and turn the unit on.

Because the expected life span of the Airo Home/Hobby
proprietary lamps used in systems is approximately one year, all
lamps must be changed every 12 months. In addition the
protective 2” filter needs to be changed approximately every 3
months*. This filter keeps dirt out of the Airo Home/Hobby reactor
chamber. Failure to change this filter on a timely basis will reduce
the unit’s photocatalytic reaction and will cause the unit to not
operate at its maximum capacity and efficiency. Contact KES or
your Airo Home/Hobby distributor to purchase your annual
replacement lamp kit and replacement filter.
*Note: Depending on the particular dust load in a given facility,
the filter may need to be changed more frequently.
Lamp Warning - Use of any lamps other than those supplied by
KES may result in the malfunctioning of the Airo Home/Hobby unit,
as well as compromise its pathogen killing effectiveness. Use of any
other lamps will void warranty.
Caution: Be sure unit is unplugged before beginning service.
1) Disconnect the power source. Make certain all power is turned off
to the unit.
Changing the Airo Home/Hobby Proprietary
Lamps
NOTE: Carefully unhook the Airo Home Hobby unit from the
mounting hardware attached to your ceiling. Then you can place the
unit on a work table to replace the lamps.
To unhook the unit, simply disconnect clamps A & B from your
ceiling support. See figure below.

2) Remove the units cover unscrewing the 4 screws (one on
each side). Do not misplace the screws as you will need them
to re-connect the cover in a later step.
NOTE: Prior to disconnecting any of the wiring harness,
observe how the unit is currently wired. See Fig. 2 below.
Here are a few helpful tips.
The ballast will have a total of 4 wires coming off its
outlet side –2 red wires and 2 yellow wires. See
figure 2 on page 6 and wiring diagram on page 8.
Each set of 2 lamps will have (1) yellow wire going to
one lamp and (1) red wire going to the second lamp.
These 2 lamps are then connected via a small jumper
wire (either white or black –these jumpers are
interchangeable). See wiring diagram on page 8.
3) Disconnect the white and black jumpers. Then, on the other
side of the lamp, disconnect the red and yellow wires. See
Figures 1, 2, & 3.
Repeat the above for the second set of 2 lamps. Once
completed, you have a group of 4 lamps wired into (1) ballast.
NOTE: To aid in removing the lamp, wet the grommets with a
small amount of tap water or a cotton ball or swab
.
4) Gently remove each of the 4 lamps by grasping the metal
end on each lamp, and firmly sliding it out of the rubber
grommet. See figure 3 below.
5) Place the old lamps to the side out of the way.
NOTE: Using the wet cotton swab (from above), slightly
moisten the ends of the new lamps prior to inserting into the
rubber grommets.
6) Insert (4) new Airo Home/Hobby proprietary lamps (provided
by manufacturer) into the rubber grommet in the reactor bed.
7) Re-connect all wires that were disconnected in step #3
above.
8) Reinstall cover. (If the Fan Protective Filter does not need to
be changed.) If Protective Filter needs to be changed, see
instructions on page 7.
9) Once all lamps have been replaced, take all of the old lamps
and discard according to your local regulations, which pertain
to disposal of UV and related lamps.
10) Before re-hanging / mounting unit, turn the unit on to make
sure proper start-up. Once proper start-up has been verified,
re-hang or mount the unit.
11) Turn unit on.
