About AQ/PS/RZ 550

Welcome to a whole new world of air treatment from Prolitec, the technology leader in air care with scent. 
The AQ550 appliance is the most advanced commercial air-treatment system on the market today. It is the 
world’s first fully adjustable commercial air-treatment system engineered to serve indoor spaces ranging in 
size from 200 to 30,000 cubic feet (10 to 850 cubic meters).

AQ550 is a patented, computer-controlled, always-on system capable of main-taining a constant, uniform 
and controlled level of scent or odor neutralizer. The basic technology of AQ550 has been tested and proven 
in demanding commercial environments such as retail stores, malls, hotel lobbies and other public spaces 
where scent is used to enhance the environment, market a product, or erase an odor. 

The AQ550 is managed by an on-board computer that is fully programmable for intensity to match space 
sizes from 200 to 30,000 cubic feet (10-850 cubic meters) per appliance as well as multiple duty cycles 
(programs) with start and stop times for each day of the week. Utilizing up to 3 duty cycles per day allows 
you to optimize the fragrance levels depending on peak and non-peak occupancy in the space. This new 
feature can save you money on fragrance AND service visits. Multiple appliances can work together in the 
same space.

The classic design blends well into any environment. AQ550 comes standard in Textured True Black or 
Eggshell White. At sufficient order quantities, AQ550 can be supplied in a custom color. AQ550 can also be 
concealed in a fixture, cabinet or behind a wall-mounted shroud to match any interior design. 

AQ550 can use 100V to 240V AC power sources and comes complete with plugs for local power receptacles. 
AQ550 is designed to be mounted on a wall with a flush-mounted power source behind it or it can be 
configured for attachment to ceiling track-lighting systems, which act as both a source of power and a 
method of attachment. With our tabletop kit added, it can be configured to stand alone on a flat surface, 
and with our cable tie kit, it can be strapped to a support pillar.

AQ550 is simple to install and program for specific room size, airflow conditions, and desired scent 
intensity. Minimal maintenance is required beyond the periodic change of the disposable fragrance 
cartridge, inspection and annual replacement of two o-rings, and a simple wipe down or dusting of exterior 
surfaces. Once installed in the right location, AQ550 will outperform any other system, providing completely 
uniform scent distribution.

The AQ550’s advanced technology creates a scent effect with a smaller quantity of fragrance ingredients 
than any other method. The chemicals employed in making AQ550 fragrances are fully compliant with 
the most restrictive air-quality and inhalation standards. AQ550 generates no harmful VOCs and uses no 
ethanol or propellants. Quite simply, used as directed, AQ550 is the greenest, most eco-friendly way to 
introduce scent into an interior space with no negative impact on indoor air quality. This is not an accident. 
The scientists and engineers at Prolitec are committed to the highest ecological and human safety 
standards.  

This User Guide is easy to read. It is also important to read. AQ550 is a high-performance appliance that, 
installed and used correctly, will meet the most demanding requirements.
