Overview

The Prolitec AirQ 270 is an advanced, computer-controlled air-treatment system designed to deliver scent or odor neutralization in indoor spaces. It is engineered for commercial environments, capable of maintaining a constant, uniform, and controlled level of scent or odor neutralizer. The system utilizes patented technology to convert liquid fragrance compounds into tiny droplets, less than 1/100th the diameter of a human hair. These micro-droplets are extremely light, allowing them to float easily and disperse evenly throughout a space, creating a consistent scent effect with minimal fragrance material.

The AirQ 270 is highly adjustable, with 50 intensity settings to match various room sizes, ranging from 100 to 15,000 cubic feet (3 to 425 cubic meters). This flexibility allows for precise control over fragrance levels, optimizing the scent experience for different environments. The appliance is programmable, capable of executing up to 21 distinct start and stop times, which can be repeated daily or weekly. This programming capability, combined with the wide range of intensity settings, allows users to optimize fragrance levels based on peak and non-peak occupancy, potentially saving money on fragrance and service visits. Multiple AirQ 270 appliances can also be configured to work together in the same space for larger areas or more complex scenting needs.

The device supports various applications, including ambient scenting, product marketing, odor control, and aromatherapy/performance scenting. For ambient scenting, it enhances the atmosphere by introducing pleasant fragrances, comparable to visual or auditory design elements. In product marketing, it can present the scent of a product at the point of sale, offering a multi-sensorial experience. For odor control, it uses proprietary odor-remediation chemistry to block malodors and replace them with pleasant scents, effective in areas like restrooms, garbage compaction areas, and hotel hallways. In aromatherapy and performance scenting, it leverages the impact of scent on human emotion and behavior to create more comfortable and appealing workspaces, potentially improving accuracy, efficiency, and morale.

The AirQ 270 is designed for permanent installation on wall surfaces, typically over a 110-240V outlet, but can also be configured as a tabletop or shelf-top unit with an optional kit. It comes standard in Textured True Black or Eggshell White, with custom colors available for sufficient order quantities. The appliance can also be concealed within fixtures, cabinets, or behind wall-mounted shrouds to blend with interior designs. Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance, utilizing natural air currents in a room. A smoke test kit is recommended to identify ideal locations, ensuring the appliance works with, not against, airflow. It should not be placed near HVAC return grills, exhaust fans, or open doors/windows where air is leaving the space.

Installation involves several steps: positioning an installation template over the power outlet, marking and installing wall anchors, installing two left screws, hanging the appliance by aligning it with the screws, plugging in the power supply (which can be stored in a recess behind the appliance), securing it with two final screws, and then replacing and locking the cover. For installations where the appliance cannot be mounted directly over an outlet, a wire-concealment conduit can be used.

Operating the AirQ 270 involves setting up the cartridge, programming the appliance, and adjusting scent intensity. To set up a cartridge, the user unlocks and opens the door, removes plugs from the air-stem and top outlet ports of the cartridge, inserts the air-stem into the air-stem port, rotates it to the locked position, and places the cartridge in the recess. The muffler and air hose assembly should be correctly fitted. Once the cartridge is in place, the appliance can be activated.

Programming the appliance can be done manually or using an online SD card programming tool. Manual programming involves setting the clock (day, hour, minute), selecting the off-cycle mode (Normal, Short, or Very Short), and adjusting the fan speed. For continuous operation, a 24/7 mode is available. Users can also set specific programs, each with a program number, status (on/off), intensity, and start/stop times for individual days, weekdays, weekends, or all days. The online SD card programming tool allows for creating, editing, copying, and deleting program sets, which can then be exported as a .zip file containing the schedule and firmware. This file is copied to a FAT32 formatted SDHC card, which is then inserted into the appliance to load the programs or update the firmware.

Scent intensity is determined by room size, airflow, fresh air changes per hour, temperature, humidity, and user preference. A Room-Size Table provides a starting point for setting the intensity level (1-50). Users are advised to start at the lower end of the recommended range and adjust upward in small increments after an hour, allowing time to assess the scent strength. The "S3 Tool" (Sizing, Service & Success) is recommended for best practice in determining the final setting.

Maintenance features are designed to be minimal and straightforward. Cartridge changes are simple: unlock and remove the front cover, turn off power, disconnect the air stem from the old cartridge, inspect the air stem seal, plug the empty cartridge with plugs from the new one, and connect the new cartridge to the air stem. It is recommended to wear gloves during this process. A cartridge change maintenance checklist includes checking for a plume from the output port using a high-intensity flashlight, ensuring the other output port is plugged, confirming power is on, checking o-rings on the air stem, and trying a different cartridge if no plume is detected. If issues persist, the appliance may need replacement, as field servicing is not intended for most malfunctions, though the pump is field replaceable. General care involves treating the AQ270 like a laptop, avoiding extreme temperatures, not dropping it, and not altering its outer cover. When shipping, it should be packed in its original box. Crucially, the cartridge must always be removed from the appliance before moving it to prevent leakage and voiding the warranty. Plugs should always be kept in cartridges when not in use to prevent spills and stains on surfaces or fabrics. If spills occur, they should be blotted quickly and cleaned with soap and water.
