System Description

PLASMACLUSTER SYSTEM


System Description

- Plasmacluster ion generation function, which generates ions inactivating bacteria and supplies to the passenger compartment through air blown from air conditioner, has been adopted.
- Airborne mold and bacteria in the passenger compartment are inactivated by the effect of Plasmacluster ion.
- Plasmacluster ion generation function is switched between 2 ion generation modes (clean mode and ion control mode) automatically, and maintain the ion balance in the passenger compartment close to that in nature.
- The operating condition is displayed in the ion indicator in the display.

NOTE:
- Plasmacluster ion technology developed by Sharp Corporation is installed in this item.
- Plasmacluster is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION

- The Plasmacluster ion generation function operates synchronized with the blower motor. The Plasmacluster ion generation function operates when the blower motor operates.
- 2 ion generation modes (clean mode and ion control mode) are switched every 15 minutes while blower motor turns ON with ignition switch ON.
- When AUTO INTAKE indicator is turned ON, Plasmacluster ion generation function extends the operation time of the clean mode to approximately 30 minutes for deactivating impurities more actively.






NOTE:
When the AUTO INTAKE indicator is not turned ON.
- Ignition switch: OFF
- Blower motor: OFF
- Mode position: Defroster (DEF)
- Ambient temperature: At about 0�C or below (Reactivate at about 2�C or above)
- When gas sensor is malfunctioning
- When the blower motor is stopped, the Plasmacluster ion generation function also stops operating (Ion indicator is OFF).





1. Clean mode operation





Ion indicator (blue) (1) in the display is turns ON as per the followings.
- Approximately 15 minutes after starting the blower motor.
- Approximately 30 minutes after the AUTO INTAKE indicator is turned ON while the blower motor is operating.
- Clean mode is switched to operate, 15 minutes after ion control mode in operation.
2. Ion control mode operation
Ion indicator (green) in the display is turns ON as per the followings.
- Ion control mode is switched to operate, 15 minutes after clean mode in operation.
- After approximately 30 seconds of clean mode operation time has passed while the AUTO INTAKE indicator is ON.
