Chapter  6  –  Replacing Filters

The IQAir® system is equipped with a Filter Life Monitor which is designed to assist you in determining when a filter
needs to be replaced. If the air pollution in your environment is very high, there is a possibility that the filter may not
be effective throughout the displayed life time and may have to be replaced earlier than indicated by the Filter Life
Monitor.  

For this reason, it is important to look out for the signs of used up filters and replace filters earlier if necessary. The
main signs are:

Increased operating noise

Decreased airflow

Clogged filters

Increased odor presence

6.1  Location of the Filter Elements

The IQAir® system features a modular housing design which enables easy replacement of all
filters in a matter of minutes. The illustration of the IQAir® system on the control panel shows
the positions of the individual filters. These positions correspond to the actual positions of the
filters within the system.

Chapter 5  –  Using the Remote Control

In addition to the control panel, the IQAir® system can be controlled by using the handheld remote control. 

The remote control can be used to:

Switch the system on and off   

Select the desired fan speed   

Activate and deactivate the timer function (Note: Start and stop times can 
only be set and changed directly on the system’s control panel)

Switching the Timer On and Off

If start and stop times have been set in the Daily Timer Menu, it is possible to switch the timer on and off with the
remote control. To switch the timer on, press the

5.2  Getting the Best Transmission Results

The IR (infrared) receiver of the IQAir® system is positioned underneath the control panel cover. In order to get the
best signal transmission, the remote control should be pointed at the control panel when a remote command is
being carried out.  Alternatively, the remote control should be pointed at a surface like a wall, ceiling or window, from
which the signal can bounce off in a right angle (90°) to the electronic control panel.

5.3  Replacing the Battery of the Remote Control

When the battery becomes weak, the transmission results will deteriorate and the
battery should be replaced. The remote control requires one CR2025 battery. The battery
compartment is located at the bottom end of the remote control. 

To open the battery compartment, press the small lever to the side and slide the battery
compartment out. Remove the used battery and insert the new battery.
