1.2 General warnings and instructions
This instruction booklet is an integral part of the device and consequently must be kept with care and must ALWAYS accompany the
device, including when this is sold to another owner or user or transferred to another system. If lost or damaged, another copy can
be ordered from the manufacturer.
Repair and maintenance must be performed by the manufacturer’s authorised personnel or by other qualified personnel as described in
this booklet. Do not modify or tamper with device as this may create danger situations; the manufacturer is not liable for any damage
caused as a consequence.
After having removed the packaging, make sure the contents are complete and intact. If anything is missing or damaged contact the
company that sold the device.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage to people, animals or things due to errors made during installation, adjustment and
maintenance or improper use.
We would like to remind you that the use of products that use electrical energy, involves the observance of many fundamental rules of safety
which:
It is forbidden to use the device in the presence of children and unassisted unable people.
Do not touch the unit barefoot or with wet or damp parts of the body.
Never perform any maintenance or cleaning operations before having disconnected the unit from the mains power supply, moving the
main system switch to “OFF”.
Do not modify safety or control devices without authorisation and instructions from the manufacturer.
Do not pull, detach or twist the electrical cables coming from the unit, even when disconnected from the mains power supply.
Do not sit or stand on the appliance and/or place any type of object on top of it.
Do not spray or drop water directly onto the device.
Do not disperse, abandon or leave the packaging material within the reach of children as it may be a potential source of danger.
1.3 The Bioxigen ® system (summary DESCRIPTION of the technology’s OPERATING PRINCIPLE)
The Bioxigen ® technology generates a flow of negative oxygen ions in the air.
The oxygen ions are produced through an electric field oscillating in the air that makes the molecules vibrate, increasing
their kinetc energy and as a result exchanging electrons when colliding, producing negative oxygen ions and positive ions
(
O2
- and N
2
+). That charged particles also act upon the molecules to eject electrons. Negative ions collide with airborne
particles such as dust, pollen, bacteria, dander and smoke.
The negative ion transfers its charge to the polluting particle creating a new negatively charged particle, which continue to
attract positive particles until the particles become heavy enough to fall out of the air. The ions are strongly attracted to the
nearest “earthed” surface. As they drift, pollutants such as dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and even vapourised substances
are attracted to and cluster around the ions. This has the effect of making the ion grow in size. There comes a point where
it is too heavy to be carried in the air, so it falls to the ground.
The result is an efficient microbial elimination in the air and on the surface. BioxAir products are especially made for
insertion in new or existing air ducts, continuously preventing the risk of bacterial contamination and with low energy
consumption or inside AHU, air duct systems, and heat recovery units.
Bioxigen ® devices are also applied in high-risk departments, such as operating theatres, intensive care units, areas of
production and packaging of products or food where a combination between filtration with air sanitization is needed.
These spaces are usually served by air treatment plants designed for air filtration, but not effective in decontaminating the
microbial population brought into the environment by people or neighbouring environments.
