of a large amount of pollen and dust.
l Support for PM2.5
Catches 99%* of particles from 0.1 to 2.5 μm.
Consideration is not given to new particles entering from outdoors due to, for example, ventilation.
l PM2.5 is a generic term for fine particulate matter of 2.5 μm or less.
l The removal of fine particulate matter less than 0.1 μm with this air purifier has not been verified.
Also, this air purifier is not capable of removing all harmful substances from the air.
l This is the effect achieved in a 30-m3enclosed space, and is not the result of verification in a space that is in actual use.

Features
What will happen if cleaning is not performed?
If a lot of dust adheres to the pre-filter and HEPA filter, performance may deteriorate remarkably.
Will all cigarette smoke be removed?
The air purifier can remove nicotine and other particles, but the room needs to be ventilated occasionally
because carbon monoxide (CO), a harmful substance contained in cigarette smoke, cannot be removed.
Furthermore, when a lot of cigarettes are smoked, cigarette odor may be emitted from the unit.

Features
Operations (when Normal Operation Mode is Selected)
The direction to a person’s location is detected by the i-see Sensor. The air inlet and outlet are moved by the AUTO TURN and the optimal air
flow is created by the louvre according to the person’s location.
When operation is started, the i-see Sensor begins detection. The i-see Sensor turns left and right while
the main unit remains facing forward. After completing one left and right movement (takes approx. two
minutes), the i-see Sensor determines the direction to a person’s location.
<When a person is present>
1 The main unit is turned toward the person’s location automatically and then stopped by the
AUTO TURN.
2 The louvre controls the air-flow direction so that air does not blow directly at the person.
3 Contamination is monitored while removing the dust in the area around the person.
4 When contamination in the room is detected by the PM2.5 Sensor and odor sensor, the air
volume is changed automatically.
After approx. 15 minutes, the main unit is turned to face forward and then stopped by the
AUTO TURN.
The i-see Sensor turns left and right again to detect the direction to a person’s location.
l If more than one person is detected, the AUTO TURN stop position is determined
automatically depending on the number of persons and the direction to the
persons.
<When a person is not present>
1 The louvre controls the air-flow direction so that air is blown over the entire room while the
main unit remains facing forward.
2 Contamination is monitored while removing the dust in the entire room.
3 When contamination in the room is detected by the PM2.5 Sensor and odor sensor, the air
volume is changed automatically.
After approx. three minutes, the i-see Sensor turns left and right again to detect the
direction to a person’s location.
About i-see Sensor, AUTO TURN,
The i-see Sensor turns approx. 150 degrees in the left and right
directions to detect the direction to a person’s location.
The air inlet and outlet are moved by the AUTO TURN which
moves the main unit according to the person’s location.
The optimal air flow is created by the louvre in order to clean the
area around the person.
Air flow is controlled so that air is not
blown directly at a person.
Air is blown over the entire room.

i-see Sensor detection
l The i-see Sensor detects a person’s location within a range of approx. 150 degrees while turning left and right.
(The i-see Sensor lamp flashes green while the i-see Sensor is performing the detection operation.)
l The i-see Sensor measures the indoor temperature in the room and determines the direction to a person’s location from variations in the
temperature.
l The i-see Sensor operates only when the main unit is stopped and faces forward.
(The i-see Sensor does not operate when the AUTO TURN is operating or the main unit faces a direction other than the forward direction.)
 A person cannot be detected in locations such as the following.
l Outside of the detection area l Where there is an obstacle (furniture or other object) to the main unit
 A person cannot be detected correctly in cases such as the following.
l When there is something that changes the temperature
significantly within a short period of time (e.g., television, air
conditioner, refrigerator)
l When the room temperature or the temperature of the floor and
walls is high (rough guide: 30°C or more)
l When the room temperature or the temperature of the floor and
walls is low (rough guide: 8°C or less)
l When skin is not exposed because the person is under a blanket
or wearing a lot of clothes
l When the heat source cannot be detected such as when there is a
small child or pet or a person wearing a lot clothes
