1.2 DESCRIPTION
COUNTERFOG® PILAR is a Fog-generating device for the rapid disinfection of buildings,
indoor facilities, offices, vehicles, goods or objects.
It provides a dynamic fog cone composed of sub-micrometric droplets of liquid which,
when projected into the air, catch air-borne matter (dust, aerosols, spores, etc.).
Applying the cone with biocidal liquid, it rapidly removes biological agents deposited or
attached on surfaces, whether they are floating in the air or are easily resuspendable.
Microparticles transported by the air or adhered to a surface, collapse with the droplets
of liquid making them falling or detaching. The layer of liquid is extremely thin and
evaporates in a few minutes, depending on the environmental conditions.
COUNTERFOG® PILAR can be used with any non-flammable liquid disinfectant
depending on the purpose of each operation (See ANNEX I: DISINFECTANTS
AUTHORIZED IN SPAIN).

2. USE
Carefully instruct all users of the device on how to operate it, its application purposes
and the risks incurred.
Make sure this manual is read and understood by all users of the device.
The device shall only be used by adults who have been carefully instructed on how to
operate it and are well informed on possible dangers and risks incurred when using the

disinfectant used.
2.1 INTENTED USE
Counterfog® PILAR is intended for decontamination, disinfection and sanitization of
buildings, indoor facilities, offices, vehicles, goods or objects.
Risk of Damage!
Breathing fogs or mists of chemical substances or disinfectants may be toxic
Contact of chemical substances or disinfectants with skin, mouth or mucous must be
avoided.
Before using Counterfog® PILAR clear the zone removing all unprotected people, sensible
objects or those incompatible with the liquid substance to be fogged.
Users must wear protective devices according to the substance selected. Typically, it will
include a full-face mask with filters protecting against the chemicals used in addition to a
specific protection against the biological agents present in the environment: protective
suit, gloves and shoes.
Follow the safety instructions of the manufacturer of the liquid to be fogged.

• It is recommended that users read the entire document before proceeding with room
disinfecting treatment.
2.2 LIQUIDS SUITABLE TO BE FOGGED
Counterfog® PILAR can be used with different disinfectant liquids depending on the
purpose of the operation. Drinkable water -without microorganism- can be used to
remove air-borne hydrophilic particulate matter from air.
For the cleaning of airborne biological agents and surfaces, it is recommended to use
liquid disinfectants compatible with AISI 316L steel, Teflon and NBR. The compatibility
of the disinfectant with the material in the treated area and the protective measures
for people in the area must be taken into account. It is strictly forbidden to use
flammable liquids that can produce explosive atmospheres in areas that are not
classified with the corresponding ATEX index (DIRECTIVE 94/9/CE -ATEX 137- ) or mixing
liquids if manufacturers do not recommend it.
Be sure that the nozzle, hose and pipes of the Counterfog® PILAR are empty and clean
before filling the container with liquid.
Use only authorized liquid disinfectants suitable for spraying. Fogging enhances all the
effects of chemical products.
Refer to the disinfectant manufacturer for the corresponding safety measures and
equipment for individual protection corresponding to the fogged product.
A mist of a flammable liquid should be considered an explosive atmosphere. Never
spray a mist of flammable liquid on a flame, hot elements, sparks or any electrical
devices.
Risk of Injuries!
Danger of explosion!
NEVER use flammable liquids!
