Installation
Appliance Location
1. Placement of an AQ1570 cartridge head is the KEY TO OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. It is
important to identify a location where the output of AQ1570 can use, rather than fight, the
natural air currents in a room.
2. Air currents in a room are determined by using a SMOKE TEST KIT available from Prolitec or any
source of smoke or vapor, such as a candle or match.
3. To conduct a smoke test, stand at the entrance of the room in front of the door and observe the
direction of the smoke or vapor. If the smoke drifts into the room the AQ1570 cartridge head
should be installed somewhere near the door.

See Figure 1. If the smoke drifts out of the room, the AQ1570 cartridge head should be placed on
the wall furthest from the door. See Figure 2. If there is no clear direction that the smoke travels or it
travels upward into the air-conditioning return grill, find a position near the air-conditioning supply
grill. See Figure 3.
NOTE: The location of AQ1570 MUST NOT be near an HVAC return grill, exhaust fan or vent, or an
open door or window through which air is leaving the space. Remember, you want to work with the
natural air flow, not against it.
