Installation Guide

At the recommended setting in the center of travel. This equates to
the doubling of the initial differential pressure to cause a clog alert.
If you want to waste energy, or think your filter is not dirty enough
when a clog alert occurs at the Recommended setting, you may turn
the Service Filter knob CCW toward “Less Often”. This increases the
differential pressure needed to cause a clog alert. Results? A more
dirty filter, more energy usage, and decreased IAQ.
If you want to save more energy at the expense of higher air filter
costs, or think your filter is too dirty when a clog alert occurs at the
Recommended setting, you may turn the Service Filter knob CW
toward “More Often”. This decreases the differential pressure needed
to cause a clog alert. Results? A cleaner filter, higher air filter costs,
less energy usage, and increased IAQ.
Overall, the Service Filter knob should be to set at the Recommended
setting for the best balance between wasted energy and higher air
filter costs.
Why am I not seeing the FILTERSCAN on the list of connected devices
on my router?
The FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor connects to your
wireless router for about two seconds approximately every seven
hours. The rest of the time, the FILTERSCAN’s WiFi transmitter is
turned off to conserve energy. So, you would have to be viewing your
“connected devices” exactly during the two-second time period to
“see” the FILTERSCAN on the list of connected devices. Nearly
impossible.
Model FS-245-C How is the conduit mechanically connected to the FILTERSCAN WiFi
Home Air Filter Monitor?
There is a conduit connector knock-out located on the lower side of
the monitor housing.
What voltage is acceptable to power the FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air
Filter Monitor via the conduit?
Typically 24V AC/DC, although an input voltage as low as 15V DC is
acceptable.
Model FS-245-B Do I have to install batteries if I power the Monitor from the optional AC
Adapter?
No.
Can I utilize both the AC Adapter and batteries for backup?
Yes, you can install batteries even though you also have an AC
adapter installed. Such power backup is unnecessary however
because the monitor’s non-volatile memory stores all operating
parameters in the event of a power failure.
AirFilterSentry Can I transfer ownership of my FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter
Monitor to another person?
Yes, please contact Customer service at 888-414-FLOW (3569) for
assistance. For the monitor to be transferred, have the Serial Number
and the new owner’s information available.
