1.0 INTRODUCTION
You are now the owner of an advanced effective indoor air purifier. You may now expect a noticeable improvement in your air quality as the AF
Purifier begins the process of reducing microscopic airborne particulate as well as harmful gases, smoke, dust and pollen.
2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTION
Read all of the instructions contained within this manual before operating this unit. Keep this manual, as it contains information for proper operation
and maintenance. Keep all fastening hardware tight to ensure that the unit is in safe working condition. Familiarise yourself with the way in which
filters are removed, installed, and serviced. All filters must be in place whenever this machine is in operation. Use only on a grounded electrical
circuit; do not use any two-wire electrical prong adapters to defeat the three-pronged plug on the end of the cord. When servicing the motor, be
careful when touching the exterior of the motor as soon as it has been turned off; it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. they are built to
operate at higher temperatures. Do not substitute any other filters (particulate or chemical) for those supplied, as this will alter the unit
efficiency. DO NOT SERVICE MOTOR OR CONTROL PANEL UNLESS UNIT IS UNPLUGGED FROM RECEPTACLE (ITS POWER SUPPLY)!
3.0 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The air is drawn in through an intake grille located at the bottom of unit. The air then passes through the particulate and odor filtraters. The clean air
is then released through the top discharge grille into the controlled space. The AF Unit features a threefold method of operation; a) captures general
particulate; b) HEPA filter removes microscopic particulate matter; c) Chemically adsorbs, reacts or scrubs toxic or nuisance gases (optional);
4.0 MAIN SYSTEM COMPONENTS
BLOWER ASSEMBLY: The blower is factory balanced and tested to ensure quiet, vibration-free operation.
CONTROL PANEL: Designed for easy monitoring, features include two position on/off switch, visual system pressure indicator, motor operation
indicator light and 120 volt fuse (AF600 is designed for single speed, pressure indicator is optional).

6.0 UNIT RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 INSPECTION
Upon receipt, inspect unit for either visible or concealed damage. Damage should be immediately reported to the transport company. Ensure:
a) All internal components are present and are adequately supported and installed;
b) Labels and serial numbers are present for future identification;
c) Verify that power supply is compatible with equipment. Also check that the unit is plugged into a grounded receptacle;
d) Ensure that unit-mounted casters are tight and secure before manoeuvring the system.
7.0 START-UP
a) Place unit on a flat surface, ensure filters are installed (see Equipment Installation and Filter Maintenance Guide on face of unit);
b) Ensure that supply and return air grilles are not obstructed in any way (air circulation patterns will be inhibited if airflow is obstructed);
c) Insert male end of cord into 15-amp circuit. Unit should be connected to an independent circuit;
d) Turn power toggle switch to "HIGH" position and verify that system operating light is illuminated. Do same in "LOW" position;
e) Pressure gauge should read between 0.9 and 1.1 with filters in place;
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNLESS ALL FILTERS ARE IN PLACE.
8.0 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Proper maintenance is critical to extend the life of the system. The information presented below outlines basic maintenance procedures ensuring the
unit will provide trouble-free operation. The purifier is designed to allow quick access to the filters, blower/motor and control panel assembly.
8.1 GENERAL FILTER MAINTENANCE
It is very difficult to predetermine specific maintenance schedule as rate of dust loading and chemical filter consumption will vary or each application.
Periodic inspection of filters and pressure gauge during the first few months of operation should help establish an appropriate replacement schedule.
QUATRO, through its years of experience has established the following recommendations for a "typical" replacement filter schedule:
Filter Type: Suggested Replacement: Filter Type: Suggested Replacement:
Dust Filters every 3-6 months Hi-Efficiency Filter every 6-18 months
Odor Filters every 12-24 months (depending on application) HEPA Filter every 12-24 months
Note: These recommendations may vary based on room size or work volume.
8.2 PARTICULATE FILTER REPLACEMENT
a) Open with appropriate tool (Phillips screw driver) to avoid stripping of screws;
b) Carefully slide out filters along their support channels, Slide clean filters gently into place;
c) Ensure Dust Filters are replaced as per airflow indications;
e) If encountering difficulties, confirm that there are no obstructions in the filter track;
f) Hi-Efficiency/HEPA filters must be replaced as per airflow arrow on the filter casing;
g) HEPA filters should be replaced if the filter gauge (optional on AF600) on the control panel exceeds 1.6";
h) HEPA filters should be installed with gaskets facing down on the filter tracking;
i) Utmost care must be taken not to damage the exposed portions of HEPA filter. DO NOT bend aluminium separators as it will obstruct airflow.
8.3 CHEMICAL FILTER TRAY (F003) MAINTENANCE
It is essential that the chemical filter be replaced approximately once every twelve months OR immediately following any detection of odor. After an
operating period of twelve months (or when the filters are consumed), call your authorised distributor to purchase a new set of chemical filtration
assemblies (Part No: F003-_ ) prior to removal of existing one. To replace Odor Filter (Part No: F003 or F033):
a) Ensure that the unit is unplugged, open door with appropriate tool to avoid stripping of screws;
b) Slide out the existing F003 or F033, remove new F003 or F033 from the box that it was shipped in;
c) Reinsert new filter back into the system (ensure airflow arrows are pointing up;
d) Return door to the closed position and verify that an airtight seal is maintained;
To refill existing F003 or F033 filter cell with new odor filters:
a) Slide out existing F003 filter (see diagram on last page of manual);
b) Unscrew the two (2) top panel covers (4 screws each) and lift off cover;
c) Pour out used odor filter(this procedure may be dusty, therefore a dust mask is recommended);
d) Refill F003 container with fresh odor filters and replace the 2 panel covers and re-insert into unit as per diagram on last page of manual;
Filter disposal is the responsibility of the end-user. Please contact local authorities for proper and legal disposal.
8.4 BLOWER MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Switch unit off and unplug power cord from wall before servicing the blower.
The motor is equipped with electric motor grade double shielded ball bearings and a special lubricant, assuring long life and quiet operation. No extra
motor maintenance is required.
8.5 ANNUAL GENERAL INSPECTION
The sealing integrity of the AF Purifier is essential. Every 12 months, verify that all gaskets are in proper condition. Should the door gaskets adhere
to the unit when opening a door, lubricate its surface with a transparent grease or petroleum jelly. Should the unit be relocated continuously for
optimum efficiency, ensure all casters are tightly fastened.

9.0 OPERATION
For your convenience, the AF Purifier is equipped with a pressure gauge recessed within the control panel to allow for a visual indication of filter
pressure (optional on the AF600 model). IN THE EVENT OF HIGH FILTER PRESSURE (1.5 to 1.6"wc), CALL YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY TO
REPLACE YOUR FILTERS.
9.1 POSITIONING OF UNIT
Mounted on four casters, the unit can be wheeled virtually anywhere in the room for optimal convenience. The unit is designed in an up-flow
configuration allowing the air to create a "sweeping" effect across the room. The clean air is released from top of unit, moving across the room in a
downward motion. The clean air pushes particulate and gaseous matter towards the floor level and draws it in the intake grille located at bottom of
unit. This configuration allows the particles which have already accumulated towards the ground to be pulled towards the return air grille. This results
in a very effective means of space cleaning. The Fresh-Air Purifier is more efficient the closer it is placed to its intended source. Conversely, the
unit's efficiency is diminished as it is placed further from the source of pollutants.
9.3 REDUCTION IN AIRFLOW
The AF Purifier is designed to operate at a clean filter pressure of between 0.9 and 1.1". This reading can be observed on the pressure gauge
located in the control panel (while operating at HIGH speed). As the unit cleans the air, the filters are removing the particles of dust and dirt in the air
stream. As the filters accumulate dirt (both visible and microscopic), a restriction on the blower/motor is created. As the restriction becomes greater,
the air capacity delivered by the blower decreases rendering the unit less effective. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHANGE FILTERS ON A
REGULAR BASIS. The following is a chart showing the reduction in airflow as the filter restriction increases.
Pressure % Decrease Pressure % Decrease
0.9 - 1.1" 0% 1.1 - 1.3" 20%
1.3 - 1.5" 38% 1.5 - 1.7" 54%
