AIR QUALITY DISPLAY

Real-time Feedback

The enhanced SensorPod evaluates the condition of your air by measuring

both particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10) and volatile organic compounds

(VOCs). It calculates the overall air quality using a proprietary algorithm that is

reactive to genuine increases in pollutants without overreacting to someone

entering the room or settling into the couch.

The illuminated, color-coded display communicates good, moderate or poor

air quality and a numeric value provides a greater level of detail.

In AUTO mode, the puriﬁer automatically adjusts the fan speed in response to

these air quality readings.

TruSens utilizes the Air Quality Index (1-500) created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

TRUSENS APP

Apple and the Apple Logo are trademarks of Apple Inc.

Google Play and the Google Play logo are trademarks of Google LLC.

The TruSens app allows you to conveniently control your TruSens

air puriﬁer from your smart device, whether you are across the

room or across town.

You’ll have the same control and real-time air quality feedback as on the

puriﬁer, and will also ﬁnd historical tracking of your indoor air quality,

information on your local outdoor air quality, and you will be able to set a

schedule for the puriﬁer. The app will also notify you when it’s time to replace

your ﬁlter or UV bulb, and you can easily reorder through the app.

Download the TruSens App from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

TRUSENS APP: SET-UP

Once downloaded, open

the App and follow the

on-screen prompts.

NAMING TIPS

• When using your puriﬁer’s voice control feature, you will say the

purﬁer’s name every time you issue a command; to prevent confusion,

each puriﬁer should have a unique name.

• Name your puriﬁer something easy and short/one word, for example:

“Bedroom” or “Kitchen”.

• Do not include “puriﬁer” in the name. The Alexa App allows the

renaming of a puriﬁer, but we do not recommend it.

Button and unplugging the power cord.

2. Gently place the unit on its side on the ﬂoor so that

the ﬁlter chamber cover and knob are exposed.

3. Turn the knob counter-clockwise and remove the

ﬁlter cover and 360° HEPA ﬁlter drum (Fig. A).

Fig. A

Fig. B

Fig. C

Fig. D

REPLACING HEPA FILTER

1. The HEPA indicator will glow red when it is time to

change the entire HEPA drum ﬁlter.

2. Gently pull the HEPA drum ﬁlter away from its place

secured to the ﬁlter cover (Fig. B).

3. Secure the replacement HEPA ﬁlter onto the ﬁlter

cover (Fig. C).

4. Gently replace the ﬁlter cover with ﬁlter drum into

the ﬁlter chamber and onto the threading, and turn

the knob clockwise until the knob and ﬁlter chamber

cover are securely tightened (Fig. D).

5. Plug-in and power on your puriﬁer, and hold the

Reset button until the red HEPA indicator turns oﬀ.

WASHING THE STANDARD PREFILTER

1. The Carbon indicator will glow red when it is time to replace the

Carbon layer.

2. Gently peel away the Preﬁlter from the fastener strips (Fig. E).

3. Gently peel away the used Carbon layer from the fastener strips (Fig. F).

4. Wrap a new Carbon layer around the ﬁlter drum and attach

to the same fastener strips (Fig. G).

5. Replace the Preﬁlter by wrapping it around the Carbon layer

and attach to the fastener strips (Fig. H).

6. Once the puriﬁer is powered-on, hold the Reset button until

the red Carbon indicator turns oﬀ.

1. We recommend that you visually inspect the Preﬁlter every month,

and clean as needed. At minimum, you should hand wash the Preﬁlter

every time you change the Carbon ﬁlter.

2. Gently peel away the Washable Preﬁlter from the fastener strips (Fig. E).

3. Gently rinse with running water – allow Preﬁlter to air dry

before re-installing.

4. Replace the Preﬁlter by wrapping it around the ﬁlter drum and

attach to the fastener strips (Fig. H).

Note: Standard Carbon ﬁlter 3-pack (on page 13) will cover 3 Carbon changes

Where do I place the SensorPod? Anywhere you want to measure the air quality within the room.

For optimal results, place the SensorPod up to 49  (15 m) away from the

air puriﬁer on a counter or table, within line of sight of the puriﬁer. In Auto

Mode, the puriﬁer will work to distribute clean air until the SensorPod reads

an acceptable level of air quality.

How oen do I need to change the

ﬁlters?

That’s easy. The puriﬁer’s replacement indicators will notify you when it is

time to replace the Carbon or HEPA ﬁlters, or the UV bulb.

Plan on replacing the Carbon every 3-4 months, HEPA every 12-15 months,

and UV bulb every 1-3 years.

How oen do I need to wash the

Preﬁlter?

The Preﬁlter captures larger particles and preserves the eﬃciency of the

other ﬁlters, so we recommend that you visually inspect the preﬁlter every

month and wash as needed. Another good habit is to wash the preﬁlter

every time you replace the Carbon ﬁlter.

Questions about the TruSens app

or how the puriﬁer works with

Amazon Alexa?

First, always check you are connected to a Wi-Fi

network and that

Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device. For other questions, please

visit www.trusens.com for more information on troubleshooting.

Puriﬁer won’t turn on. Check that the power cord is connected securely to both the wall outlet and

the puriﬁer. Check if there is a power outage in the outlet by trying a nearby

light or device, or by trying a working device in the same outlet.

Check that the HEPA ﬁlter is ﬁtted properly into ﬁlter chamber.

Please contact us if you’re still having a problem (page 19)

FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING

Pairing SensorPod and Puriﬁer

The SensorPod communicates with the puriﬁer using

radio frequency signals, and will be paired on the

production line and ready for use when you open the

box. In the rare event that the signal is interrupted, the

puriﬁer’s sensor indicator light will blink. You can

repair the connection in just a few easy steps.

1. Unplug the SensorPod.

2. HOLD the Power Button on the puriﬁer for 3

seconds, when you should hear two chimes.

3. Plug-in the SensorPod and press and HOLD the

pairing button underneath the SensorPod

for

5-7 seconds (Fig. O).

4. The connection is established when the puriﬁer’s

sensor indicator light is lit with no blinking, and the

air quality indicators turn on.

Puriﬁer won’t go into Auto Mode.

Air quality indicators are oﬀ.

Puriﬁer’s sensor signal indicator is

blinking.

First, check that the SensorPod is plugged-in and that its light is solid.

Next, check that the SensorPod is within range of the puriﬁer (up to

49/15m).

If both are true and the connection is still failing, see below instructions on

repairing the SensorPod’s connection.

I’ve lost my SensorPod. Don’t worry. Please contact our customer support team and you can order a

replacement SensorPod. Follow the easy pairing instructions below to pair

your replacement SensorPod

with your existing air puriﬁer.
