WARNING!
– Place the unit upright so it is stable and on a sur-
face with sufficient load capacity. Secure the unit
to a wall using the supplied fixing bracket.

risk!
If the mains cable of this unit is damaged, a new
one must be installed by the manufacturer, its
customer service or a specialist company in
order to avoid hazards.
– Insert the mains plug into a correctly fused mains
socket. Lay the mains cable so that no one can
step on the mains cable and there is no risk of
tripping.
– Select extensions for the mains cable taking into
account the technical data. Fully unroll the exten-
sion cable. Avoid electrical overload.
– The power connection must comply with the
specifications in the Technical data chapter.
– Do not cover the unit during operation and do not
place objects such as clothes on the unit.

1.1 Correct use
The TROX air purifier is used to purify atmospheric air
indoors. As a stationary air purifier, the unit ensures a
relevant reduction in dust and aerosol concentration in
the indoor air. By using a HEPA filter H13, it filters
99.95% of all aerosols out of the air and thus effectively
reduces the infection risks.
The unit is used for purifying the indoor air in heavily fre-
quented rooms, such as:
Waiting and reception areas
Meeting or conference rooms
Schools
Trade fair booths
Dining rooms
Shops

– Any use that is not described in the manual.
– Operation that does not comply with the tech-
nical data.
– Modifying of the unit by others, tampering with
the unit.
– Operation or installation in areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres.
– Operation in rooms where the indoor air contains
particles that are conductive, aggressive, corro-
sive, combustible or hazardous to health
– Operation in rooms where the humidity is perma-
nently high (> 90 %)
– Operation outdoors

sories, whose quality and function are not equiv-
alent to those of the original parts
