Panasonic 2008 Patrol Sensor, Active -ion, Negative Charging, Inactivating Effect, trillion

Patrol Sensor

A sensor monitors dirt in a room 24 hours a day!

Air is monitored both during air conditioner operation and when it's switched off. When dirt is detected, the air purifying function is started to immediately clean the air in the room.

How It Works

Monitoring

Whether the air conditioner is operating or not, the sensor constantly monitors dirt in the air.

Detection	High	Dirt in the air
The sensor measures the dirt Dirt		Sensing level

active e-ions

About 3 trillion

active e-ions fill the room to clean it entirely.

Active e-ions have two actions

Measurement conditions

Certificated by Japan Food Research Laboratories

Test report number: 304110078-001

Test method: The e-ion Air Purifying System was operated in a test room (10m2) and changes in airborne mould and bacteria were measured by means of the Air Sampler Method (MAS100).
