Your ScentWave can run two different Event schedules. To create or change the events, Press SET until the desired Event (Event 1 or 2) flashes on the screen. Then use +/- to adjust the ON time and OFF time. To delete an Event, press both + and – while on the Event’s ON or OFF time.

What are the default Event Settings on my ScentWave?
Your ScentWave arrives with one Event scheduled – Event 1 is programmed to run on Auto for 60 seconds on and 60 seconds off, beginning at 9:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5). The volume is set at the 12:00 (straight up) position. This default setting will ensure your scent cartridge lasts for 30 days.
I cannot smell our scent
Did you recently receive the scent? If so, ensure that the MASTER POWER is set to ON or TIMER and your device is scheduled to run at the current time. Also ensure that the VOLUME knob is not turned completely down. Begin with the knob at 12:00 (straight up) and adjust the settings as needed after one hour.
Ensure your device is appropriately placed away from any exhaust vents, open doors, open windows or HVAC return grills that may be drawing the scent out of the desired area.
Also make sure your cartridge has not run out. You should receive new cartridges periodically, but running your system on CONTINUOUS or for more than 10 hours a day will drastically reduce the life of the cartridge.
Have you had your scent for several weeks or months? Over time, those receiving the same scent for several months can suffer from Olfactory Fatigue, which is essentially becoming used to the scent. Like any scent, you can become acclimated to a scent you encounter on a daily basis. For example, think of visiting someone’s home –to them it smells normal, but you will smell various fragrances in their home (good or bad). The same applies to ScentAir. While you may not smell it, guests/residents/customers will smell the fragrance. If you are unsure, ask a customer or new employee if they can smell the fragrance.
The term “anosmia” is used to describe the point at which a person disregards an aroma. Depending upon the fragrance and its strength, in environmental scenting this can occur between one and three minutes of constant interaction with the scent.
The scent is too strong
If you find the scent in your location seems too strong, you may want to troubleshoot machine settings/machine placement prior to deciding to change your scent altogether.
- The machine may be on “full-blast” – use the VOLUME knob on the device to decrease the scent strength.You can lower the settings to lowest levels if necessary.
- Ensure that the machine is not directed at a person – the scent should be dispersed to a general area, not in a direct, targeted fashion.
- The strength of scent varies by fragrance. If you have adjusted the device and the scent is still too strong for you or your employees, we can offer lighter scents (generally in the Ozone/Marine/Fresh/Clean category) that can work just as effectively for your business.
Where should I place my ScentWave device?
Ideally, the device should be placed between the supply air vent and the area to be scented, ensuring that the airflow carries the scent to the desired area. It is best positioned near the entrance with highest traffic so guests experience the scent when they first enter the space.
Mount the device in a discreet location, low to the ground if possible but out of reach of children.
The ScentWave should not be located near any exhaust vents, open doors, open windows or HVAC return grills.
My Device is Not Working
First make sure that your AC adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the machine is turned on.
You also want to make sure your scent cartridge is plugged in correctly. The cartridge cord plugs into the connection on the inside bottom front of the ScentWave unit. You may also refer to the manual enclosed with your ScentWave unit or provided above for further instructions.
