at a higher airflow (fan speed). Operating in this manner (i.e. at a high fan speed) will increase the noise level of the unit, so it is recommended 
to run the decontamination cycle either prior to occupancy of the room or during times of no/minimal occupancy. The Decontamination Cycle 
period is intended to function as a part of the Autonomous Operation Scheduled (see section:s “

Adjust Room Decontamination cycle (Period 

and fan speed)” 

and runs automatically when the unit is set-up for operating according to the user pre-defined schedule. However, it may be
