HOW THE SENSOR ACTUALLY WORKS:
The sensor was designed to detect and measure the level
of allergen-sized particles (3-50 microns) in the air. While the sensor does not
detect smaller sized particles such as dust or smoke, these particles will be
captured by the HEPA filter. Here’s how it works:
1. The fan in the sensor constantly samples the air.
2. A laser beam light in the sensor measures the level of allergen sized particles
in the sampled air and sends a signal to the air cleaner.
3. When the level of particles exceeds the setting you choose (average, extra,
super), the sensor automatically turns on the air cleaner for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the air cleaner turns off and the sensor resamples the air.
If the level of particles exceeds the sensitivity setting you chose, the sensor
turns on the air cleaner for another 30 minutes, and will continue to run and
resample in 30 minute intervals until the allergen particle level has been
reduced.
4. Lights on the control panel indicate the level of allergen particles.
