S400 Operating Instructions

1. Plug into a working 110-120V AC electrical grounded outlet (see Plug Safety).

2. Turn the Rotary Switch (Fig. 1) to the right past (clockwise) past the “off” position.
   The Digital Monitor Display Screen (fig.3) will illuminate letting you know the power is on and the fan is running. Look to the front of unit (Front View Illustration) for the UV-C View Port illuminating green confirming that the purification, disinfection, and odor control features are operating at optimum performance.
   Power off the S400 at any time by turning the Rotary Switch to the left (counter clockwise) and to the “off” position (Fig. 1) the Digital Screen and UV-C View Port will go off. Screen Data is stored non-volatile memory.

3. With power on, you can select the desired fan speed.
   The S400 uses a rheostat rotary HIGH to LOW speed settings switch (Fig. 2). You can select from HIGH to LOW by turning the Fan Speed Selection Rotary Switch to your desired speed. ( See Whole Room Air Disinfection for room fan selections and Digital Display Monitor Screen Instructions).

4. To move your S400 power off the device (Fig. 1) and unplug it. Roll to your next location. To LOCK; each caster has locking tabs that can be “toe operated” by pushing down on the outer most tab marked “on” (FIG. 4). To UNLOCK the caster push the shorter tab marked “off” (Fig 5). Push the forward most tab marked “on” down to lock the caster (Fig 4) once device is in your desired location.

Whole Room Air Disinfection

A typical room size is 180 square feet (16.72 m2). With a ceiling of 10 feet (3.05m) this would be a combined total of 1800 cubic feet (167.22cm). See (Fig 6) and sample computation. For more information on Air Scrubbing and Room CFM Processing see CFM Air Processed Digital Display Screen Instructions.

At High Speed Fan Operation the S400 can “scrub the air” or perform a complete air change within 8-20 minutes. (Time may vary depending on exact room size and amount of material in room displacing air volume). See CFM Air Processed Monitor Instructions for more information on Air Changes – Passes – and Air Processed. Once initial air change has occurred (we recommend high speed for one hour) you can turn the Fan Speed to a lower setting for continual air disinfection and lower power consumption.

The S400 is designed to run quietly and continuously 24/7 at any speed.

We recommend lower fan speeds for continued operation to reduce electricity consumption and decibel emittance.

On Board Digital Monitoring and Performance Screen Instructions

The S400 has an on-board efficiency and continuous operational metering digital display screen. There are four continual meter readings:

1. HEPA Filter Integrity
2. UV-C Light Integrity-Intensity Status
3. Final Carbon Filtration Integrity-Saturation Status
4. CFM Air Processed (Particulates Pathogen) Volume Status (Instructions next page)

Monitoring operations will display the four (4) metered screen readings every five (5) seconds on a continuous loop. Left and Right Arrows can be pressed to access previous or next screen. If unit is powered off any meter data is stored in non-volatile memory.

Carbon Filter Monitoring – Absorption Maintenance Curve

UV-C and Carbon Monitor Reset Screen

Entry to this screen requires the user to press on the 4 corners of the screen in a specific sequence as shown.

If a screen change occurs during the time the user is entering the number sequence the sequence will continue unaffected.

If the sequence is not entered correctly, the reset sequence will immediately cancel and the screen cycle will continue unaffected. The user must also complete the sequence within 5 seconds to avoid cancellation.

The user has 5 seconds to confirm or reject the reset request before the screen disappears and the 4-screen sequence resumes.

Manual Scroll Arrows

Left and Right arrow buttons at the bottom of each screen allow the user to jump forward or back from each screen without having to wait for the five (5) second timeout.

CFM Air Processed Monitor

The S400 includes a CFM Air Processed reporting system. This enables the user to estimate and report the amount of air processed (particulate, pathogen, mold, and odor removal) for any given location and time period.

By calculating the location’s Cubic Foot volume this meter will correlate the amount of times that location’s air was “scrubbed” and brought down to “zero contaminates” in a room via air changes.

CFM Air Processed Monitor Reset from Screen

Entry to this screen requires the user to press on the 4 corners of the screen in a clock-wise (1,2,3,4) specific sequence as shown.

If a screen change occurs during the time the user is entering the number sequence the sequence will continue unaffected.

If the sequence is not entered correctly, the reset sequence will immediately cancel and the screen cycle will continue unaffected. The user must also complete the sequence within 5 seconds to avoid cancellation.

The user has 5 seconds to confirm or reject the reset request before the screen disappears and the 4-screen sequence resumes.

Manual Scroll Arrows

Left and Right arrow buttons at the bottom of each screen allow the user to jump forward or back from each screen without having to wait for the five (5) second timeout.

Preventive maintenance tasks:

The S400 is designed, manufactured, and quality control tested for continual 24/7 use at peak performance for over one year with virtually no preventive maintenance required. We provide a complete Annual Maintenance Service and Consumables Replenishment Kit for once a year required consumable parts replenishment. CAUTION: Service of this device should be designated only to facility personnel familiarized with Scientific Air Management’s authorized service instructions and using only authorized Scientific Air Management’s replacement parts. Failure to comply will void Manufacturer’s Warranty.

Once power is on – below is the check list for operational indicators:

UV-C Light View Port:
The Green Light at the front of your S400 is a UV-C shielded view port. Illumination when power is on is indication that the UV-C air pathogen “kill chamber” is fully functioning, additionally the on-board digital display screen will meter UV-C Integrity and Intensity (See Operators Instructions Digital Display Screen)

Fan Motor Running:
The Fan Motor engages automatically to HIGH SPEED FAN when the power is turned on. The rheostat switch can be turned clockwise to lower fan speed. Listen for smooth fan operation and slight “humming” noise. Any noise produced other than slight humming and smooth fan air flow turn the unit off and call service agent. The on-board display screen will meter air flow and fan operation as well (See Operators Instructions Digital Display Screen)

On-Board Digital Display Screen:
When powered on the On-Board Digital Display Screen will illuminate. The HEPA Filter Air Flow, UV-C Light Integrity Intensity, Carbon Final Filtration Integrity, and CFM Air Processed screens will appear in five (5) second continuous rotation schedule. If screen fails to illuminate turn the unit off and call service agent. For detail description of Digital Screen Function See Operators Instructions Digital Display Screen.

Air Pressure – Air Flow:
Powered on, the S400 creates remarkably very little air-flow. Our Patented 360 Degree air induction and expulsion system creates virtually unnoticeable wind pressure. Fan motor humming is best indication of air flow. However, if visual verification is desired, a standard square of tissue paper will adhere to the HEPA intake housing when placed directly on housing. The same “tissue test” can be applied to the bottom Carbon Filtration Housing in which it will be slightly pushed away.

Recommended Preventive Maintenance tasks:

Exterior equipment cleaning tasks:

The S400 is designed, manufactured, and quality control tested for continual 24/7 use at peak performance for over one year with NO INTERIOR CLEANING REQUIRED. Follow facility protocol for equipment exterior cleaning . This devise can be cleaned with standard facility cleaning products including anti- microbial “bleach-like” cleaning product. Avoid excessive cleaning product application on digital screen equipment. DO NOT use Petroleum or Acetone based cleaning products.
