1- INTRODUCTION
You are now the owner of a QUATRO SPH Or AF System, an advanced effective indoor dust and fume collection system
designed specifically to remove particulate matter and odour causing gas phase contaminants at the source. You can expect
a noticeable improvement in air quality as the SPH Or AF System begins the process of reducing microscopic airborne
particulate.
The SPH or AF System normally features 3 Or 4 stages of filtration:
1) An OPTIONAL Pre Filter Pad OR Knock Out Pad. This captures large debris.
2) A Pre Filter for larger particles.
3) A HEPA filter captures & holds fine particles protecting the motor and ensuring a clean output.
4) A Chemical Filter to absorb & contain odour causing gas phase contaminants.
The filter sequence can be customized to your application. Contact Quatro Air for more info.
WARNING –To reduce the risk of damage to your system read and follow all instructions. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in undesired operation or damage that will not be covered under warranty.
2- WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The SPH model comes with the “Laser Blue” Gel filter seal. The AF model comes with a gasket seal.
Both models are available with either 6” or 12” filter sections depending on the filter sequence for the application.

- Keep all objects at least 6” away from the casing, especially the discharge grill.
- All filters must be in place whenever this machine is in operation.
- ALWAYS turn system on/off switch to off and disconnect power prior to accessing unit, replacing filters, or servicing motor(s).
- Allow the unit to cool for 45 minutes before performing any service to the motor(s).
- Do not kink hose or restrict airflow in any way.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in undesired operation or damage, not covered under this warranty.
4- INSTALLATION
1) Install the unit in the chosen location.
2) Open the filter access door & lid and install the filters in the correct order. See the “Filter Service & Replacement”
section for more info.
3) Connect the supplied hose from the Quatro System to the Laser/Printer.
4) Connect the power cord to the unit and then to the power source. VERIFY VOLTAGE BEFORE CONNECTING.
- ONLY USE THE POWER CORD SUPPLIED WITH THE EQUIPMENT.
- Always plug the unit directly into the wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or power bars.
- Ideally the unit should be plugged into it’s own dedicated circuit.
- The system is designed to be constantly powered (plugged in). The system will not function correctly and may get
damaged if power source is used to control the operation. See “Controls” for more info.
5) Turn unit on & adjust the desired airflow using the arrow up and down keys. Set airflow to lowest acceptable level to
properly evacuate your equipment.
For information about remote operation see the “Controls” section.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNLESS ALL FILTERS ARE IN PLACE.
Important Notes:
NONE of the filters in the system are cleanable. They will all need to be removed and disposed of periodically.
See the “Filter Service & Replacement” Section for more info.

5- CONTROLS
iSeries Controls
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PROPER FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS:
Do not connect the main power cord to an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
Never use any form of remote control that switches the power source on and off. In doing so, serious damage to the
controls and motors may occur. Contact QUATRO if power switching is the only way you have to remotely control the unit.
We have many power switching adaptors available for SAFE and reliable control.
“iSeries” Controls & Alarms/Status Conditions
The iSeries controls feature soft touch Power (On/Off), Speed Up & Speed Down Buttons. It also features a series of LEDs
that indicate the status of the filter(s) and motor(s) and inform you of any alarms. These alarms are accompanied by an
audible alert. See the table on the following page to understand the meanings of the LEDs and the alarms.
Alarms & Status Conditions
Alarm Mute Feature
All alarms can be muted for a period of 8 hours OPERATING TIME. After 8 hours the alarm will return and can be muted
again.
When mute is enabled, L1 Flashes & the muted alarms stay SOLID. The level of the alert will not be displayed until the 8
hour mute period is over.
To mute: Press SPD UP & DN quickly at the same time. When the buttons are released the alarm(s) will mute & L1 will
start flashing. Alarm LED will go SOLID.
If there are any additional alarms when MUTED, mute will disable itself until muted again, then BOTH alarms will be muted.
Muted alarms will only be displayed while the unit is in operation.
If the unit is turned off and then on during the 8 hour mute, the balance of the 8 hour mute will continue after the unit is
turned on again.

Normal (Manual) Operation
Manual operation of the unit is accomplished by using the (Red) ON/OFF POWER button.
Variable Digital Speed Control & “AUTOFLOW”
Speed control is available in all modes of operation (manual & automatic) and is adjusted with the UP & DOWN arrows
located just under the POWER button.
“AUTOFLOW” is an automatic system pressure compensation system. After setting the minimum speed required to
properly evacuate your equipment, the controls will automatically increase the motor speed to compensate for the
increased pressure as a result of filters getting dirty or a system blockage until maximum speed is reached. After a filter
change, system will automatically decrease the speed to the original set point. Please verify that you are achieving
adequate ventilation after a filter change. If not adjust blower speed.
Remote (Automatic) Operation & Remote Status
The Quatro System is designed to be used with other pieces of equipment that can support remote operation and/or
remote status monitoring. The connection is made using the AE427 QUATRO Universal Remote Cable. QUATRO has
some custom remote cables for specific applications. Contact us for more info on available applications and part numbers.
The Quatro System supports “Closed Contact” & “1-30V AC or DC” remote operation as well as “Remote Status” signals.
Switching power to control the QUATRO System system remotely WILL NOT WORK and can damage the
unit.
Temporary ON Mode
Allows you to temporarily override your automatic remote control of the system to perform a “quick cleaning” of work
surface. Temporary ON Mode is only available when the Remote/Standby (L5) light is flashing slowly. Use of this mode will
temporarily BLOCK OR DISENGAGE all other functions.
To initiate:
-Press POWER (On/Off) button to start unit, “System ON” LED will FADE In-Out, unit will start.
-When you finish using this feature, press POWER (On/Off) again. All other functions will be un-blocked.
Operation, Connection & Enabling
Most systems will come with a custom remote cable to interface between the QUATRO fume extractor an your equipment.
If a custom cable isn’t available then the AE427 universal remote cable will be provided. Connect the AE427 remote cable
in between the Quatro System & the other piece of equipment using only the wires required as per the diagram below.
