1. Upon successful sign up, subscription, configuration, installation, power up, and Internet connection,
the FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor will be connected to the AirFilterSentry Notification
System server through your wireless router and should require no further attention. The Monitor will
start sending status messages to the server on a periodic basis.
2. To test the Internet connection:
a. Although the wireless transmission range should cover your building, it is greatest with minimum
obstructions between the FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor and the wireless router. Any
obstructions, such as walls, floors, and ceilings can reduce the range of transmission, and
relocation of the wireless router may be required. Retest with each location to ensure proper
operation.
b. Depress the SEND button of the FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor once at any time to
send its status to the AirFilterSentry Notification Service server database.
c. Then, login to your account* at www.cleanalertwifi.com to view your monitor’s status.
NOTE: Your FILTERSCAN WiFi Air Filter Monitor status display at the AirFilterSentry
Notification Service is capable of displaying more than 100% clogged. This is possible
since the “100% clogged” point is the recommended point when it is most efficient to service
(replace or clean) the air filter. If you ignore the notification and continue to operate your
HVAC system, the air filter will become dirtier and the status will rise above 100% clogged.
To provide the most efficient air filtration and HVAC system operation, you should service the
air filter as soon as possible after being notified of a clogged condition.
* Subscription to the AirFilterSentry Notification service is required to enable this feature
