– System’s Components

1. 

Room air is drawn into the system via two arched open ings at the

base.

2. 

The air is drawn in through a high-efficiency pre-filter that al rea dy

removes most pollu tion particles.

3. 

At the heart of the system, sand wiched between the fil ters, is a

powerful centrifugal fan which generates the airflow.

4. 

The air is pushed through four steel cartridges that contain up to 17

lbs. of gas phase control media, which retains specific gaseous
pollutants.

5. 

Particulate post-filter sleeves hold back abrasion particles from the

gas phase filter media.

6. 

Low turbulence, low velocity air is returned to the room via the

EvenFlow™ diffuser.

3.2  Description of Removable Components

The IQAir® system features a modular housing design which enables the easy replacement of all filter elements in a
matter of seconds. The illustration below shows all the removable components. For more details on how to re pla ce
filters, please refer to Chapter 6 – Replacing Filters.

3.3 How the IQAir® System Works

4.1.1  Description of Control Panel Keys

Power Key

The 

Power

key switches the IQAir® system on and off.  When the system is switched off, the fan stops to run, but the

system will remain connected to the power supply (standby mode). The standby mode allows for automatic timer
start-up. In the standby mode, the different menu functions can be accessed. 

Tip: 

In a menu window,    the 

Power

key also serves as a quick exit key to return to the main display window.

Arrow (

) Key

When the system is switched on, the 

key allows the adjustment of the fan speed. In the enter mode, indicated by

the appearance of a black flashing cursor (see “Enter Key” below), the 

key is used to modify the selected setting in

the display window. Confirmed with the 

Enter

key, the enter mode is automatically terminated. The LCD will then

display the current menu settings for another 15 seconds before reverting to the main window display.

Chapter  4  –  Using the Control Panel

The IQAir® system is operated and controlled via the electronic control panel which is located at the top of the front
locking arm.

Checking the remaining filter life of the individual filters

Setting the automatic timer

Resetting the Filter Life Monitor after replacing a filter

Locking the control panel to avoid tampering with the system’s settings
