⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Air³ rooms provide a controllable micro‑environment with fully integrated electrical services. All Air³ pods are powered by a main connection to the building once assembly is complete.
This article applies to the All‑in‑One Freestanding Package used in the Americas.
Integrated Electrical Services Overview
Each Air³ pod contains integrated electrical services, including:
- LED lighting
- Air circulation fan
- User control panels
- Opening roof system
- User power outlets
All services within a service hoop share a single electrical circuit.
Service Hoops & Power Configuration
Air‑23 / Air‑25 (Single Service Hoop)
- 1 connection point per service hoop
- Integrated power for lighting, fan, controls, and opening roof
- 3 user power sockets
Air‑27 / Air‑29 (Double Service Hoops)
- 1 connection point per service hoop
- Integrated power for lighting, fan, controls, and opening roof
- 6 user power sockets (3 per hoop)
Each service hoop operates independently and must be powered separately.
Electrical Ratings
- Maximum Voltage: 120 VAC
- Maximum Current: 15 Amps (1440W)
- Power Usage (Occupied): approx. 100W per hoop
(not including connected external equipment) - Power Usage (Unoccupied): less than 1W per hoop
- Maximum Hoop Load: 1.8 kW
Standard Power Connection
Each service hoop is supplied with a 9‑foot flexible power cord designed to plug directly into a building’s hardwired electrical receptacle.
- Maximum visible cord length: approximately 7–8 feet
- Minimum required clearance from wall receptacle: 4 inches
This spacing protects the plug from damage when the pod is placed against a wall.
Power Routing Options
Power cables must be routed through the service hoop upright. Access doors should be handled by installation teams only.
- 1. Underfloor: 9’ cord routed through raised floor
- 2. Floor box: Cord routed through grommet to floor box inside or outside pod
- 3. Ceiling: Provided 9’ cord will not reach ceiling – hardwire required
- 4. Wall: Cord routed through grommet to wall outlet
Important: Service hoops must not be daisy‑chained. Each hoop requires its own 15‑amp connection.
Permanent (Hardwired) Power Connection
For permanent installations, each service hoop requires:
- A dedicated 15‑amp grounded connection
- Connection by a certified electrician
Hardwire connections must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Conduit may be solid or flexible and must include a suitable cable restraint at the provided 1/2" trade‑size conduit fitting.
Orangebox does not supply building power conduits or data wiring.
Hoop‑to‑Hoop RJ45 Connection (Air‑27 & Air‑29)
Air‑27 and Air‑29 pods use a simple 3.5‑meter RJ45 communication cable to link service hoops.
- Allows lights and fans to operate together
- Controlled from a single user panel
- No factory pairing required
User Control Panels & Internal Power
The interior user control panel allows occupants to:
- Control lighting
- Adjust airflow
- Operate the opening roof
Each service hoop includes:
- User control panel
- Lighting + airflow control interface
- 3 integrated power sockets
- Optional data ports (customer supplied)
Critical Notes
- Each service hoop requires an independent 15‑amp supply
- Do not daisy‑chain power between hoops
- Only certified electricians may perform permanent connections
- External equipment loads are not included in stated power consumption
