How The Gen III Delivers Absolute ComfortUnique cutting-edge technology enables Gen III to outperform conventional reverse cycle systems. Sensors in every room mean individual room temperature control can be achieved and constantly maintained. Gen III’s superior technology connects every part of the system enabling it to manage the air-flow and temperature with incredible accuracy.
GenIIIControlUnitAt the heart of this incredibly precise temperature control delivery system is the Control Unit. This is the nerve centre of Gen III, constantly monitoring all the parts of the system. The colour touch screen acts as a human-friendly interface between the user and the system. Almost instantaneously the Control Unit interprets the desired selection and in turn instructs the various parts to produce and direct the exact amounts of air needed to create the ideal room temperature.

Wall Temperature SensorThe wireless zone temperature sensor is used for measuring the temperature in each zone or room. It continually monitors the room temperature and interacts with the Gen III control unit ensuring the exact desired room temperature is achieved. Being wireless these sensors can be discreetly placed in the room with minimum fuss.
ColourTouchScreenA high-tech colour touch screen delivers complete control over the heating or cooling of every room in the home. The easy to navigate system gives the user finger-tip control and delivers information instantly, so actual room temperatures can be viewed at any time. Plus, you can install more than one colour touch screen in your home for ultimate flexibility.
An easy timer function can be used to set a simple, daily on/off schedule. A more advanced program can be used to switch the system on and off for a specific combination of zones and temperatures, over a 7 day period.
The touch screen communicates information about the operation of the system. For instance, it will warn the user if too many zones have been opened, or if the battery in a room sensor needs replacing.
If at any time the user needs assistance, help is at hand with the touch of a button.
UpTo32ControlledZones
Gen III can provide individual room temperature control for literally every room in the house. In fact up to 32 different zones can be preselected. Each of the zones can be controlled with its own remote control, colour screen or from a central colour touch screen control unit. Each room thermostat communicates to the main system wirelessly, meaning the installation can be done without the need to conceal messy wiring.
ExactAirRegulatorAchieving and maintaining exacting standards of temperature control requires components with precise delivery mechanisms. Advantage Air’s Exact Air Regulator is the most versatile in the world. The blades that open and shut allow the exact amount of air needed to reach the desired temperature. Therefore, this system provides a greater level of control over airflow and more accurate control over temperatures within a room.
TheUnitThe external condenser, or air-conditioning unit works seamlessly together with the air management system, creating an incredibly responsive, efficient system. Our air-conditioner is one of the first air-conditioners to use R407C, the worlds new breed of non ozone depleting refridgerants. R407C is a non ozone depleting refridgerant introduced to replace those refridgerants resigned to extinction in coming years.

Why Gen III delivers and conventional systems don’tThere are major differences between Gen III and conventional ducted reverse cycle systems.
And it’s these differences that allow Gen III to deliver the ultimate in air-conditioned comfort.
Hot and cold spots are generally unavoidable with a conventional ducted system. This is because traditional reverse cycle systems rely on one thermostat to gauge the temperature of every room in the house. A virtually impossible task, given room temperatures can fluctuate dramatically throughout the day and night due to factors like position of the sun, number of people in a room and cooking heat. Gen III constantly monitors changing conditions in every room that affect the temperature and adjusts the delivery of air accordingly.
Whereas, Gen III monitors individual room temperature, conventional systems only allow the zone to be manually switched on and off. So the user loses the ability to keep the house at the desired constant or various temperatures.
Advantage Air’s Gen III costs little more than a standard ducted air-conditioning system, yet it delivers so much more; incredible temperature control, 26% more energy efficiency*, an easy to use colour-touch screen and a complete system from the one supplier, covered under the one warranty.
Sensors in every room let the system know the exact amount of warm or cool air that needs
to be delivered.

Before switching on the air-conditioning, each room is at a different temperature.
Conventional ‘constant volume’ systems work on average temperature meaning you have no control over the airflow to each room temperature.
Gen III, with sensors in each room, delivers only the exact amount of air needed to reach the desired room temperature.

Expansion Options
Options that deliver everything from the fresh, clean smell of energy savings to the convenience of SMS and internet control.
FreshAirFresh Air is an essential part of life for all creatures great and small. We have lived for centuries in the fresh air of the great outdoors, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy the creature comforts of an air-conditioned home.
Advantage Airs “Fresh Air” is a control system that works with your ducted air-conditioning to give you both the comfort of air-conditioning and the freshness of outside air.
Fresh Air works in two ways:
• on automatic, it senses the outside temperature and for example during late afternoon in Summer the outside temperature falls, it will bring fresh but cool air into the home. This is welcomed by people wanting ducted air-conditioning but are concerned about the same air constantly being recycled.
• Fresh Air can be manually switched on at any time. eg. to expel cooking odours, replacing the air in the home with fresh outside air.
On automatic, independent tests estimate energy savings of up to 22% compared to similar systems without Fresh Air.
SMS&InternetThe user can even control the system when he or she isn’t holding the colour touch screen control unit. Technology known as AAIRWEB allows the system to be activated remotely via the internet, or even with an SMS message. It also enables your air conditioning system to be integrated with most home automation systems.
PureAirThis option should be considered by families with members who have allergies or asthma. It is an air filtration systems far better than those usually provided with reverse cycle systems available for home air-conditioning.
Advantage Air’s ‘Pure Air’ features an intensive 4-stage filtration system. In Stage 1, air passes through the ‘Purtech Return Air Grill’, removing 78% of general household dust. The second stage sends the air through a disposable, 50mm thick prefilter. In stage 3, any dust, pollen or bacteria left in the air is then captured by an incredibly efficient, 100mm thick, disposable filter that removes up to 95% of particles, as tiny as .3 microns. The final 4th stage subjects air to an ultra violet radiation sterilizer.
All 4 stages work together to produce a quality of air that is on a par with the level of purity that hospitals demand.
The Pure Air filtration system will clean and sterilize the air in about 30 minutes in a typical house (150m2). It can also be installed to filter the entire air supply to an individual room.
This Pure Air option is designed to work in conjunction with the Gen III control system.
AdvantageAirDiffuserOptions
LinearEliteDiffuserThe cutting-edge, sophisticated design of the Linear Elite will enhance the interior of any home. They can be used in specific rooms whilst choosing a standard diffuser in other rooms.
HalfStreemLineGrillSpecifically designed for small spaces, the Half StreemLine Grill provides an option for those awkward, hard to get to places.
SilhouetteDiffuserA more traditional style of diffuser that ensures whisper quiet cooling or heating to all corners of the room.
GenIII
StreemLineDiffuserThe only diffuser available with adjustable blades that sit completely flush with the ceiling. Unique 7 point setting systems allows blades to be adjusted precisely to diffuse cool air across the ceiling or to direct warm air down into the room.
BabyLinearDiffuserA smaller compact version of the Linear Elite Diffuser that still delivers a big impact. Excellent diffuser option for those tight spots or bulkheads where the traditional range simply will not fit.
SwivelJetDiffuser
The Swivel Jet’s ‘full swivel function’ gives you greater directional airflow. Choose your own comfort setting with Swivel Jet’s ‘no fuss’ adjustable damper. The attractive, low profile design is guaranteed to suit any decor, plus providing a very convenient control to ensure that the airflow direction can be changed to suit your changing room design and furniture layouts. The Swivel Jet is super quiet and has a ‘removable centre’ that ensures easy access for cleaning.
OrdinaryReturnAirGrilleConsists of a simple grille with a single layer filter that helps clean the air by collecting larger dust particles and lint. Deteriorates over time with washing.
PurtechReturnAirGrilleThe Purtech Return Air Grille is another example of Advantage Air leading the way in delivering quiet and efficient systems. The multi-layer electrostatic technology can produce up to 30% cleaner air. Plus, it’s easy to remove and clean.
Clean-meL-E-DWarningOptionA discreet warning device lets you know when it’s time to clean the filter. A dirty filter increases your power usage, and makes the system work harder causing unnecessary additional wear-and-tear.

ExactAirRegulatorAdvantage Air has applied advanced commercial technology to create the most versatile home damper system in the world – the Exact Air Regulator.
Incorporating an Opposed Blade Damper system – similar to those used in large office buildings – for far more precise control over air flow. Airflow is smoother and quieter as the blades distribute the air across the duct more evenly.
This system uses a linear balancing method of air flow control which provides a greater level of control over air flows and therefore more accurate control over temperatures within a zone.
Air Management
RegularDamperConventional damper bodies have a circular internal section called a ‘scoop’. An external handle is moved to rotate the scoop open or closed. The level of air flow is adjusted by how far the scoop is opened. Conventional damper systems rely on a handle that is tightened by a screw which can loosen over time allowing the scoop to slip and become unbalanced.
Using this method is less accurate than the linear balancing method opposite.
Air-Conditioner
Advantage Air does not only boast industry leading controls such as the Gen III and Fresh Air, but with it’s own custom designed air-conditioner, it redefines the benchmark for home ducted air conditioning by specifically designing it to fully integrate with the Gen III.
No longer are the air-conditioner and air management systems operating separately. With Gen III, both the air-conditioner and the air management system work together, effectively ‘talking’ to each other to ensure only the required
amount of cool or hot air is delivered into the room or zone, resulting in precise comfort levels both night and day.
OzoneFriendlyOur air-conditioner is one of the first air-conditioners to use R407C, the world’s new breed of non-ozone depleting refrigerants.
R407C is a non-ozone depleting refrigerant introduced to replace those refrigerants resigned to extinction in coming years.
DesignedForYourNeedsAll Advantage Air systems have been developed here in Australia to suit our own extreme climatic conditions. The units have been designed to suit all reverse cycle applications, from single storey to double storey, townhouse to outhouse and more.
Advantage Air, delivering new levels of comfort to all creatures great and small.

Advantage Air commissioned an independent body to calculate the energy savings of Fresh Air and Gen III 500 systems. In order to do these calculations, assumptions had to be made on a range of variables including the size of the house (201m2 of air-conditioning area), location of the house (Perth, Western Australia), electrical, lighting, power supply of the air fan, occupancy of the house and usage of air-conditioning.
The CSIRO estimates energy savings of up to 38% for a house in Perth with a variable volume HVAC system with economy cycle, when compared to a standard system.
