factory authorized replacement of the internal particle filter and fresh air bag (Annual Calibration
Verification). The monitor incorporates active diagnostics that continuously check the system for proper
operation. A front panel indicator is provided to alert an operator of system irregularities and associated
fault codes are generated that enable the operator to quickly identify the cause of the fault. Please consult
Users Manual.
The SF-ExplorIR™ is manufactured in Accordance with ISO9001 protocol and has CE Certification.
