12. If you have another Monitor to sign up (Home+ and Manager accounts only), Log out and Log
in. Select “Monitors” from the Home Page, then select “Add Monitor”.
13. Go to Step 6 to sign up additional monitors.
14. If you need to change any information you’ve entered for any monitor, click on “Edit Monitor”
on the Home page.
15. Make the necessary changes and click on Submit.
16. Once all of your Monitors have been signed up, proceed to installation and connecting to your
WiFi router, after which you may begin viewing the online status reports available at
www.cleanalertwifi.com.
NOTE: If you will be using a corporate network to connect the monitor to the Internet, contact your
network administrator prior to enabling the web server of CleanAlert. Company policy may
prohibit the use of web servers for security reasons. CleanAlert is not responsible for the

FILTERSCAN W i F i A ir F ilter M onitor I nstallation
The CleanAlert FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor , Model FS-245, MUST be installed at the
RETURN side plenum, NOT the SUPPLY side (see the Appendix) either upstream of, downstream of,
or differentially across the air filter (using the optional tubing kit Model CA-4DP). The Monitor must be
mounted downstream if the VAV system is set to the constant torque mode.
To help determine which installation position is possible with your HVAC system, refer to Figures 16
through 20, which illustrate various installation configurations, as well as the proper setting of the
Upstream/Downstream switch.
WARNING! Ensure that the HVAC system blower motor/fan is OFF until told otherwise!
WARNING! Do NOT insert anything into the Sensor Tube! Doing so will result in sensor
damage and malfunction.
1. Insure you have recorded the Serial Number(s) and MAC address(es) previously in this
document.
2. The FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor should be attached to the external wall of the
return air duct or plenum, either upstream or downstream from the air filter, and at least six
inches from the filter or any other obstructions within the duct or plenum.
3. Locate an area on the return, preferably downstream from the air filter (that is, between the air
filter and the HVAC system blower), large enough to place the Monitor template on a flat
surface and where there are NO obstacles inside the duct or plenum. There should be
sufficient clearance (6” minimum) from the surrounding walls and from any components within
the HVAC system. If there is an obstruction such that the Monitor cannot be installed as
described above, you may need to complete the installation using the optional CA-4DP Tubing
Kit.
4. Tape the Monitor template at the location found in the previous step, such that "TOP" is facing
upward. The FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor front panel must be clearly visible
when installed.
5. Using the template, Drill one 3/8” hole for the sensor.
6. For sheet metal plenum installation, drill four small holes (7/64") for the mounting screws
provided.
a. Attach the FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor by aligning its sensor tube with the
larger hole and secure the Housing using the mounting screws supplied. The sensor tube
does not extend into the duct.
7. For Duct Board plenum installation, follow the directions below. Otherwise go to Step 8.
