PRODUCT OVERVIEW

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

The SAN-485 Floor Air Purifier uses a dual sensor system to monitor he air quality in the surrounding area using PM2.5 and VOC sensors.
The PM2.5 sensor monitors for the presence of microscopic particles up to 2.5 micrometers in size,, which are found in the air. This includes smoke, bacteria, and allergens.
The VOC sensor monitors for Volatile Organic Compounds, which may be harmful. These are chemicals found in daily life that vaporize in the air and dissolve in water. They typically have a strong smell and are pervasive in many household products such as cleaning and disinfecting agents, paints, adhesives, and permanent markers.
The SAN-485 will provide a numerical value for both PM2.5 and VOC levels in the air. Taking into account both values, the unit displays a color in the Air Quality Ring. The chart below shows the range of values for each color shown in the Air Quality Ring:

LOCATION & SET UP

Place the unit upright on a dry, flat surface indoors. Do not place it too close to walls, as this may affect the sensors and reduce the performance of the unit. We recommend keeping the unit a minimum of 8" away from walls.
Do not use in high humidity areas of the home, such as bathrooms, etc.
Do not cover or block the vents. The Air Intake holes on the base pull air into the unit. The vent blades on top of the unit expel purified air. Blocking the air flow in any direction will cause performance issues nd/or overheating..
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT! Always unplug the purifier from the electrical outlet before cleaning and/or changing the filter.

Cleaning the Air Intake

We recommend you clean this regularly for optimal performance. If not cleaned regularly, it may reduce the performance of the air purifier.
Remove the Base/Filter cover from the bottom of the purifier and take out the filter. Use a handheld vacuum attachment or a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust/dirt particles from the air intake holes.

Cleaning the Sensors

The sensors need to be cleaned monthly to prevent the ent buildup of dust. Failure to clean regularly will prevent sensors from analyzing air quality accurately. Wipe dust from the Sensor Cover.
Place a fingernail under the slot on the left side of the Sensor Cover and gently lift it open. The Sensor Cover is magnetized and should come off easily without much force.
Gently wipe the VOC Sensor and the PM2.5 Air Outlet and Inlet with a cotton swap dipped in alcohol. Replace the Sensor Cover.
