Start-up
Calibrating the electronic anemometer
Be sure the sash is completely installed before starting the calibration.
1. Press and hold the mute button located on the front of the control panel while simultaneously switching on the main
power button located behind the control panel (Off = O, On=I)
2. Release the mute button. A beep indicates that the unit has started the calibration mode. The white bar above the
front of the control panel will pulse for 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Stick with just the instructions for the anemometer.
3. Once the pulsing light stops, the anemometer is calibrated and the unit is ready to be turned on.
4. To operate, push the power button located on the front control panel.
Good practices :
• Avoid any air turbulence in the area during calibration
• Anemometer should be calibrated every year and every time a modication is done on the ltration column
Having carefully followed the steps described in the installation guide, your Captair Flow Smart ductless ltering clean air
enclosure is now ready to use.

Smart Technology communicates simply about performances and lter ef-
ciency of your product via a LED band of light called Smart-Light. This light
signature casts a steady LED glow when unit is operating properly. If normal
operation is disrupted, the LED signature simply pulses, drawing the atten-
tion of the operator only when necessary.
Description of the alarms
Note:
When using the Mute key to silence the alarm, please note the alarm can be triggered again if the problem has not been xed.
Resetting alarms via the Mute key will consequently modify usage settings.
