part of the calibration that would cause air to be moving within the
HVAC ducts, such as opening and closing of doors or windows.
2. Install a clean, new air filter into your heating and cooling system.
Remote Reset If the FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor is mounted in a
location away from the air filter, such as when the monitor is mounted at
the HVAC system in an attic or crawl space and the air filter is mounted on
a wall within your home, you may replace the air filter, log into your AFS
account, select Filter Status, then click on the “Reset this monitor” button.
Your FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor will automatically
calibrate / Reset itself over the next few days. Note that this button should
only be clicked on AFTER replacing or installing a new, clean air filter. In
addition, if you run your HVAC blower continuously (thermostat Fan switch
placed to ON rather than Auto), you must turn the HVAC system OFF at
the thermostat, leaving it OFF for approximately 8 hours to insure a proper
OFF condition is recorded.
NOTE: Steps 3 thru 5 are not required when performing Remote Reset.
3. Depress the RESET button, holding for two seconds until the STATUS
LED turns Green and a beep is heard.
a. After approximately ten seconds, the STATUS LED will blink
yellow for approximately 20 seconds while the FILTERSCAN
WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor records the HVAC system’s FAN
OFF condition. When the blinking amber stops, this indicates
proper operation.
i. However, if the STATUS LED blinks red, which means the
unit detects air flowing in the air duct, check to see that the
system blower fan is fully OFF and that no condition described
in #2 above exists. If no such condition exists, start again at
#1. If the error condition persists, call 888-414-FLOW (3569)
for instructions.
b. IF YOU PRESS RESET BY MISTAKE, press it again for two
seconds until the Status LED blinks Amber and a beep is heard.
4. Wait at least one minute before turning your HVAC system ON – The
FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor is starting the
automatic calibration process during this time, calibrating itself to the
air filter and HVAC system into which it is installed.
5. You may, after the above steps, want to verify communication with the
AFS server. Log into your AFS account, and select Filter Status,
where you should see “OK” for Status or Device Health.
Your FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor is now calibrated to
the type of air filter you have installed. Due to air filter types and
manufacturing tolerances, you will need to calibrate the FILTERSCAN
WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor each time a new air filter is installed.
Automatic ATTENTION - HVAC systems with two-speed blowers! Typical HVAC
Adjustment systems will have different blower speeds for Heat and A/C. The
FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor automatically adapts to
the changes in HVAC blower speeds.
Software Updates The FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor has the capability of
automatically updating its software through its Internet connection to the
cleanalertwifi.com server. If you checked the “Allow Automatic Updates to
your FILTERSCAN Software?” box on the Edit Monitor screen and there
is a later version of software available on the server, your FILTERSCAN
WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor will automatically download the latest
