What set up do the Performance Series Air Purifiers require?

No professional installation is required. Simply remove the protective bags from both combination True HEPA/Carbon filters, plug in the air purifier and set up the SensorPod where preferred.

What's the difference between the Z-6000 and Z-7000 Performance Series Air Purifiers?

The Z-7000 services a larger room size and has a larger CADR compared to the Z-6000.

What size room does each Performance Series Air Purifier cover?

The Z-6000 is recommended for spaces up to 1,750 sq ft at 2 air changes per hour (ACH). The Z-7000 is recommended for spaces up to 2,000 sq ft at 2 air changes per hour (ACH).*

*AHAM uses 4.84 ACH to calculate CADR therefore AHAM values are slightly different.

Do Performance Series Air Purifiers come with a filter included?

Yes, at purchase, Z-6000 and Z-7000 Air Purifiers include 1 set of combination True HEPA/Carbon filters for each side of the air purifier.

Can I have multiple Performance Series Air Purifiers in the same home or building?

Yes, multiple Performance Series Air Purifiers can be used in the same home or building. TruSens Air Purifiers are factory paired with SensorPod™ and designed to not interfere with one another.

What do the numbers and colors on the air quality display mean?

The numbers and color indicate the air quality reading, taken by the Remote SensorPod, in the room where the air purifier is located. Readings between 0-50 will illuminate Blue, indicating Good air quality. Readings between 50-100 will illuminate Yellow, indicating Moderate air quality. Readings between 100-500 will illuminate Red, indicating Poor air quality.

What are the carbon filters made out of on the Performance Series Air Purifiers?

The carbon filters utilize extruded activated carbon (EAC) pellets derived from coconut shells. Arranged in a honeycomb cell pattern, the carbon layer has been designed to capture VOCs.

Do the Performance Series Air Purifiers contain "True HEPA" filters?

Yes, the Performance Series Air Purifiers contain "True HEPA" filters, capable of capturing 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns.

Maintenance Questions:

  • My air purifier won't turn on.
  • How often do I need to replace the filters in the Performance Series Air Purifiers?
  • How do I clean the machine and how often?
  • How do I reset the Filter Reset button so it's no longer red?
  • Can I replace the filters on the Performance Series Air Purifiers before the indicator light turns red?
  • How do I clean the pre-filter and how often?
  • Does the TRU-BEAM UV-C light need to be replaced? If so, how often?
  • Can I run the Performance Series Air Purifier 24/7?
My air purifier won't turn on.

Check that the power cord is connected securely to both the wall outlet and the air purifier. Check if there is a power outage in the outlet by trying a nearby light or device, or by trying a working device in the same outlet. Check that the filters and filter covers are fitted properly into the filter chamber.

How often do I need to replace the filters in the Performance Series Air Purifiers?

The air purifier's replacement indicators will notify you when it is time to replace the combination True HEPA/Carbon filters. Plan on replacing the filters every 12 months.

How do I clean the machine and how often?

The exterior of the air purifier can be wiped down with a dampened cloth to remove any accumulated dust.

How do I reset the Filter Reset button so it's no longer red?

To reset the Filter Reset indicator, hold the Filter Reset button for 3 seconds. Once you hear the chime, the Carbon and HEPA lights will turn off and the Filter Reset button will return to white.

Can I replace the filters on the Performance Series Air Purifiers before the indicator light turns red?

Yes, you can change the filter before the purifier tells you they need to be replaced. If you replace the filters early, hold the Filter Reset button for 10 seconds until you hear a chime. This lets the purifier know that you replaced the filter early and will proactively reset the filter indicators.

How do I clean the pre-filter and how often?

The pre-filter captures larger particles and preserves the efficiency of the other filters, so we recommend that you visually inspect the pre-filters every month and wash as needed.

Does the TRU-BEAM UV-C light need to be replaced? If so, how often?

The UV-C LEDs are designed to last for the entire life of the product saving time and money and eliminating the need for replacement bulbs.

Can I run the Performance Series Air Purifier 24/7?

Yes, TruSens Air Purifiers are designed to operate all day and you will find the most optimal performance if the air purifier is on throughout the day. The air purifier is equipped with replacement indicators that will notify you when it is time to replace the combination True HEPA/Carbon filters. Plan on replacing the filters every 12 months – dependent on your usage patterns.

SensorPod Questions:

  • What does the SensorPod do?
  • What air pollutants can SensorPod sense?
  • Do I need to use the SensorPod?
  • How far away can I set up the SensorPod from the Performance Series Air Purifier?
  • Where do I place the SensorPod?
  • What do I do if the SensorPod is not connecting to the air purifier?
  • Will multiple SensorPods in a building or home interfere with each other?
  • How do I know if the SensorPod has lost connection?
  • Can I pair the SensorPod™ and the air purifier if I am not getting them to connect?
What does the SensorPod do?

The SensorPod™ provides real-time room air quality monitoring and automatically adjusts the fan speed of the paired air purifier based the concentration of pollutants detected. The SensorPod™ evaluates the condition of the air by measuring the concentration of airborne particulate matter (0.3-10µm in size) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

What air pollutants can SensorPod sense?

The SensorPod™ evaluates the condition of the air by measuring the concentration of airborne particulate matter (0.3-10µm in size) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Do I need to use the SensorPod?

Both the Z-6000 and Z-7000 can be used without the SensorPod™, but will only operate in Manual Mode and not display an AQI reading if the SensorPod is not connected. If you'd like to run the purifier in Auto Mode, you will need to use the SensorPod.

How far away can I set up the SensorPod from the Performance Series Air Purifier?

Up to 49 ft (15m). For optimal results, place the SensorPod™ on a tabletop or counter across the room, but within line of sight of the air purifier.

Where do I place the SensorPod?

Anywhere you want to measure the air quality within the room. For optimal results, place the SensorPod™ up to 49ft (15m) away from the air purifier on a counter or table, within line of sight of the purifier. In Auto Mode, the purifier will work to distribute clean air until the SensorPod reads an acceptable level of air quality.

What do I do if the SensorPod is not connecting to the air purifier?

Make sure the SensorPod™ and the air purifier are in the same room and try to move the SensorPod closer to the air purifier.

Will multiple SensorPods in a building or home interfere with each other?

TruSens Air Purifiers are factory paired with SensorPod™ and designed to not interfere with one another.

How do I know if the SensorPod has lost connection?

If the communication between the SensorPod™ and the air purifier is interrupted, you will notice that the radio signal on the air purifier blinks.

Can I pair the SensorPod™ and the air purifier if I am not getting them to connect?

Yes, in the rare occasion that the air purifier and SensorPod™ are not able to connect you can override the factory pairing and pair them again. Unplug any other SensorPod™ and air purifiers you own and follow the pairing instructions found in the Z-6000/Z-7000 owner's manual.
