FLEX Portable Air and Surface Disinfection System

Welcome
Welcome to ReSPR FLEX.
ReSPR FLEX is designed to provide years of trouble-free service when it is properly maintained. Even when properly cared for, some parts of your ReSPR FLEX will need to be replaced periodically. Replacement  parts can be purchased from your authorized distributor or directly from ReSPR Technologies. (www.resprtech.com)

Quick start

1. Place ReSPR FLEX on a counter top or shelf, not on the floor. Ensure there is room in front and back of the unit for air to flow through.
2. Plug the unit in with the included power cable.
3. Insert one lithium battery (CR20253V) inside the remote control.
4. Power on with the remote or by pressing the display screen then set the fan to a comfortable sound level. Leave the ReSPR FLEX in NORMAL Mode – Screen will read PCO (Photo Catalytic Oxidation) or NCC  (Natural Catalytic Conversion). This is the standard mode for occupied rooms. HIGH mode is used for stronger purification needs.
5. Use the AWAY MODE for a higher level of disinfection when space is not occupied. Pressing the Away Mode key will start a timer (2 to 8 hours). The ReSPR FLEX will go back to Normal Mode when the timer  ends or when you push NORMAL Mode again.
   NEVER USE AWAY MODE WHEN ROOM IS OCCUPIED

Set up and Operation

(Initial Setup)

Ideal Placement

• Make sure the location you choose is as close to an air supply duct as possible and as far away from the HVAC air return duct as possible. This will ensure that the oxidizing molecules produced by the ReSPR  FLEX are optimally circulated.
• Each ReSPR FLEX can effectively treat 3,000 sq. feet of space as long as there is air circulation in the space. Be sure doors are open in areas that you wish to treat.
• To ensure the unit works properly, there should be as much space as possible in front of your ReSPR FLEX so that It can efficiently process the air in the area.
• Place ReSPR FLEX on a shelf or counter top. Never place an operating unit on the floor.

Operating ReSPR FLEX

1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power Adapter and the Power Adapter Plug into the unit. (Check to be sure your power supply is properly assembled. The Power Cord should be inserted far enough into the  Power Adapter so that a space of only about 1/8 in. is left between the widest part of the power cord and the edge of the Power Adapter).
2. Insert the Power Plug into the wall outlet.
3. Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button and set it to NORMAL mode. The screen will read NCC (Natural Catalytic Conversion). This is the optimal setting for running ReSPR FLEX continuously in your  office or home. Adjust the fan to a comfortable sound level using the up and down buttons next to the display.
4. ReSPR FLEX comes with a remote control and one lithium battery (CR20253V) for easier operation when the unit is placed on a high shelf.

Operating Modes

Normal: Continual Usage: 24/7; High: Continual Usage: 24/7;
Away: Limit to unoccupied spaces ONLY
When to use NORMAL Mode

• Normal mode should be the default mode for continually running your ReSPR FLEX in occupied space.

When to use HIGH Mode

• High mode is used for stronger purification needs, removing pollutants like smoke or other significant odors.
• When ReSPR FLEX is set to HIGH Mode the display will ask you to set the room size (ft² or m² ). Press the PURIFIER button up or down to set the size of the room for the most effective treatment. NEVER set the High Mode higher than the square footage of the room.

When to use SLEEP Mode

• Access sleep mode on your remote control. Activating this setting will dim the display screen settings.

When to use AWAY Mode

• AWAY Mode generates ozone for deep cleaning an area. This mode can be used for removing smoke, cooking odors, mold spores, viruses and bacteria. AWAY mode runs on a timer and once it completes the  cycle, it returns to Normal Mode.
• Set AWAY Mode by pressing the AWAY Mode button. Each time you press the button it will increase the time of the cycle from 2:00, 4:00, 6:00 or 8:00 hours.

Routine Maintenance

To run efficiently, your ReSPR FLEX requires cleaning on a 60 to 90 day cycle. Every month the display will remind you to clean the unit. The best way to tell if the Filter Assembly needs to be cleaned is to check the  front grill for dust. If the front grill is dusty, you should remove and clean the Filter Assembly.
