Thank You For Choosing
OCTO PurePlace Building PRO
Congratulations, you own the most advanced photocatalytic air purification sy-
stem available! Before operating the AFL system please read this manual in its
entirety. Doing so will give you important information to keep you safe from harm
and ensure you get the most benefit from your AFL air purification system.
The AFL air purification system provides you with NASA developed technology at
its best. More than 20 years after NASA put the first man on the moon, they deve-
loped a technology to aid in keeping astronauts healthy on space missions. AFL
enhanced the original NASA developed Ethylene Scrubber technology making it
far superior to any other product available in our industry. This enhanced patent
pending AFLPCO™ technology, originally developed by NASA, utilises a reaction
chamber coated with a new generation catalysts that is permanently bonded to
the reactor cell structure.
When photons from the germicidal UVC lamp excites water and oxygen mole-
cules on the catalyst surface, redundant oxidizers, including hydroxyl radicals,
are formed. Any organic com-pound that collides with the catalyst is instantly
eradicated. Not only does this effectively eliminate ethylene gas, it has also been
proven to eradicate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), viruses, bacteria, fungi,
mould, and odours. AFL’s green technology is extremely energy & cost efficient.
From health care, to travel, to food preservation and more AFL protects you.

Technology
GREEN AFLPCO™
At the core of the Green AFLPCO™ Cell, a germicidal UVC lamp deactiva-
tes the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, thus destroying their
ability to multiply and cause disease. Photons created by the UVC lamp
react with our proprietary nano AFLPCO™ catalyst to create a blanket of
redundant oxidizers that not only clean your air of bacteria, mold, viruses,
VOCs, ethylene and odors, but also sanitize surfaces.
The OCTO PurePlace Building Pro utilizes our proprietary catalyst superior
to any catalyst currently on the market. It contains nine rare catalyst metals
and nano size particles to increase the kinetic rate of reaction creating
millions of redundant oxidizers.
By utilizing a broad spectrum 254nm UV light we achieve the same oxidi-
zing and ionizing benefits found in nature, created by the sun. Combining
the UV light with our nano catalyst we achieve unparalleled results.

AFL PLASMA
They use cold plasma technology that
splits water vapor into positive and ne-
gative ions that are discharged into the
air. These ions attach themselves to
allergens such as smoke, dust, pollen,
dander, and much more. The particles
continue to bond to each other until
they are heavy enough to drop out of
the air and collect in filters. The positi-
ve and negative ions attack odors and
other contaminants and convert them into oxygen, water vapor, and car-
bon dioxide, neutralizing odors and greatly improving your Indoor Air Qua-
lity (IAQ). The AFL Plasma ionizers prevent allergens from reproducing by
removing hydrogen and disrupting the DNA of the pathogen. As an added
benefit, static electricity is quickly reduced!
Controls and Status Panel
The OCTO PurePlace Building Pro unit is controlled via the HIGH/LOW
rocker switch located on the bottom panel, as illustrated below. Depending
on contamination levels and area of coverage the switch should be rocked
to either the HIGH or LOW setting and remain on 24 hours a day 7 days a
week.
