USA and FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING
AIRIUS SYSTEMS are extremely efficient, quiet and unobtrusive Air Turbines that de-
stratify and balance room temperature, generating a narrow vertical air column which
conditions the room environment and reduces the energy consumption of an HVAC
system by as much as 35%.
1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The AIRIUS SYSTEM is produced in three single-phase voltages: 120 VAC, 230 VAC,
and 277 VAC. Within each voltage there are multiple fan motor wattages. These
different wattages produce varying RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) and the different
RPM produce different rates of air flow to accommodate different heights from which
the AIRIUS SYSTEM system will be installed in the ceiling. The heights are identified
by the Model Number in Feet (10 feet = 3 Meters)

2. WARRANTY AND REFURBISH PROGRAM
1st Year Warranty:
Free replacement unit - new. Customer or Distributor to return defective units to
AIRIUS Europe Ltd carriage paid. Upon receipt, AIRIUS Europe Ltd will despatch new
units by return carriage paid.
Ongoing Refurbish Programme:
AIRIUS LLC (USA and International) and AIRIUS Europe Ltd (Europe and the Middle
East) both offer a refurbish program on all AIRIUS SYSTEMS that are no longer under
the one-year warranty. Any AIRIUS SYSTEM unit that is no longer under warranty can
be returned to either AIRIUS LLC or AIRIUS Europe Ltd (depending on location) and
will be refurbished, or replaced, for one half of the then current end user price of the
AIRIUS SYSTEMS as set by AIRIUS LLC or by AIRIUS Europe Ltd (as applicable). The
Refurbish Program does not cover units that have been used in a manner not
recommended by the manufacturer.

4. INSTALLATION/OPERATING GUIDELINES
POWER CORD
The power cord is a 3 wire 18 AWG (or 16AWG) 300 VAC rated electrical cord
UL rated in North America (NA) as SJT or for CE/EU compliance rated as HO5VV
The three wires in the power cord are color coded to insure proper wiring as follows:
BLACK or BROWN = HOT/ELECTRIFIED/LIVE
WHITE or BLUE = N NEUTRAL/RETURN PATH
GREEN or YELLOW-GREEN = GROUND/EARTH
The cord is attached to the Fan Motor via two power leads with insulated
1/4
quick
connects.
UNMARKED motor lead - HOT/LIVE
MARKED N motor lead - NEUTRAL
GROUND/EARTH is attached to a boss on the outside of the motor housing with a Star
Ring # 10 Terminal and 8-32 x
1/4
machine screw.
The Cord is secured in the housing by a strain relief and knotted inside the housing for
additional security.

Airius Operating Manual 12/10/06 11:40 Page 4 OUTLET - 120 VAC, 230 VAC and 277 VAC
Power Outlets (Female Connectors) to supply power to the AIRIUS SYSTEM should
always be installed by a qualified electrician or similarly qualified person in
accordance with national and local electrical codes.
The AIRIUS SYSTEM use very little AMPERAGE (less than 1 amp) thus multiple outlets
may be installed on one circuit. Outlets are available in many configurations, check
with the local Electrical Contractor to determine preferred type for the facility. Outlets
should generally be mounted vertically unless a twist/locking type is being used.
Facilities with Fire suppression systems installed often have a master cutoff switch to
Shut-off all power in the event of a fire or emergency. The electrical circuits for the
AIRIUS SYSTEM should be wired through that Shut-off. Always use and review the
National / Local Electrical Codes when installing the AIRIUS SYSTEM in ANY Facility.
DO NOT
wire the AIRIUS SYSTEM into the Lighting circuit, as the system will cycle
on and off with the lights, greatly reducing the systems effectiveness.
The AIRIUS SYSTEM is designed to operate 24 Hours-a-Day, 7 Days-a-Week (24/7) for
the maximum results.
PLUG - 120 VAC, 230 VAC and 277 VAC
120 VAC cord is supplied with a molded three prong polarized /grounded plug
DO NOT
DEFEAT this SAFETY DEVICE or modify the plug in any way.
230/277 VAC (International market) no plug supplied. When fitting a plug always
ensure that all relevant local regulations/electrical codes are understood and followed
with care - if in any doubt seek expert guidance.
Procedure for Wiring the Plug in a Single-Phase Electrical System
Use CAUTION when wiring/attaching the Plug (Male Connector) to the AIRIUS
SYSTEM or when using any Electrical Device.
1.
Plug should be rated for 230 VAC (277VAC) or greater and fit properly
into Outlet (Female Connector) being used to deliver power.
2.
To avoid electrical shock,
DO NOT
plug device into Energized Outlet
until all exposed wires, and connecting terminals, are enclosed by
Plug Housing. See Plug Manufacturer's Instructions.
3.
Locate the (3) stripped wires on the 300 VAC Rated Power Cord
attached to the AIRIUS SYSTEM where the outer cord insulation
jacket has been removed. Wires are coded as follows:
Brown or Black is HOT/Positive/LIVE (the energized/electrified
conductor) Blue or White is Neutral N (the conductor used for a
return current path) Yellow-Green or Green is Ground/Earth (the
conductor to connect to the Earth)
4.
Using the Plug Manufacturer's Instructions, Locate the proper
positions to attach the color-coded wire to the color-coded or
otherwise appropriately labeled terminals on the Plug.
5.
Tighten all connections. Re-assemble plug in accordance with Plug
Manufacturer's Instructions.
Airius Operating Manual 12/10/06 11:40 Page 5 Always hold the AIRIUS SYSTEM unit by the Bail/Crosspiece to avoid injury from
moving parts.
To confirm electrical continuity, if possible, Plug the AIRIUS SYSTEM into a energized
outlet, similar to the outlet installed in the ceiling, on the ground before permanently
mounting the AIRIUS SYSTEM in the ceiling.
NOTE:
The AIRIUS SYSTEM can be wired directly to a junction box but only by a
qualified electrician or similarly quali
