Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the CleanAlert FILTERSCAN
®
WiFi Home Air Filter
Monitor. The CleanAlert FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air Filter Monitor continuously and
automatically monitors the clogging* of an air filter installed into a household or commercial forced air
heating, air conditioning, or heat pump system and provides alerts when the filter clogs and needs to
be replaced.
The CleanAlert AirFilterSentry
™
Notification Service (AFS) will send you a text message alert
and/or email alert notifying you of the clogging* of an air filter installed into your household or
commercial forced air heating, air conditioning, or heat pump system. The system monitoring service
is located at
www.cleanalertwifi.com where you may register your FILTERSCAN WiFi Home Air
Filter Monitor and sign up for the CleanAlert AirFilterSentry Notification Service. You will
receive text and or email notifications when your air filter reaches clogged* status. You can also
check on the status of your air filter as it becomes more and more dirty over time.
*NOTE: “Clogging” is defined as when the differential air pressure in the HVAC system doubles
from its calibrated clean or new air filter value.
IMPORTANT! Please read all instructions carefully to insure years of trouble-free operation.

mounting location, and it eliminates the need for batteries.)
Optional: CA-4DP Tubing Kit. (If ordered with either FS-245-B or FS-245-C, this 6’ long
Tubing Kit is used to have the FILTERSCAN monitor differential pressure across the air
filter. It is especially useful when the FILTERSCAN is mounted in an attic or crawl space,
