Preface
Thank you for choosing i-sense, the device designed to monitor the quality of air. Air quality is
a measure of how clean or polluted the air is. Monitoring air quality is important because
clean air is safer and better for everyone. Probably the most common indicator is carbon
dioxide (CO
2
), produced by human breathing and emitted by appliances. Other indoor air
quality indicators are humidity and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are a group of
chemicals that are often found in buildings. They may or may not give off a smell, like paint,
air fresheners, cleaning products, cosmetics and many more. Also found in the air is a mixture
of solid particles and liquid droplets called particulate matter (PM). Some PM particles, such
as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, are large enough to be seen. Others are so small they can only
be detected using an electron microscope. The fine particles pose the greatest risk to our
health.
The i-sense is easy to use when you follow the instructions. Please read the user manual
carefully. Become familiar with the correct operation and maintenance procedures. Store the
manual in a safe place. The manual is an essential part of the i-sense and must be handed
over to the new owner upon resale or exchange. Each i-sense has a unique serial number that
can be found on the bottom of the main body. Your i-partner needs this number when you
order parts.
When this manual refers to “the manufacturer” this means: Future Cleaning Technologies
B.V., an affiliate company of i-team Professional in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. When this
manual mentions “the partner” your local i-team reseller and support service partner is
referred to.
