Product Introduction

Overview
AM300 series is a compact indoor ambience monitoring sensor including motion, humidity, temperature, light, TVOC, CO2, HCHO/O3 level, barometric pressure and PM2.5 & PM10 for wireless LoRa network. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and can easily be configured via a smartphone or a PC software.

Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN® protocol. LoRaWAN® enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while consuming very little power. The user can obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change through Milesight IoT Cloud or through the user’s own Network Server.

Advanced Settings
Data Collection Settings
Go to “Device Settings->Basic” of ToolBox software or “Device -> Settings -> Data Collection Settings” of ToolBox App to select the data you need to monitor. Among them, temperature, humidity and CO2 are not allowed to disable. If any item is disabled, it will disappear from the screen.

Calibration Settings
ToolBox supports numerical calibration for all items. Go to “Device Settings -> Basic” of ToolBox software or “Device -> Settings -> Calibration Settings” of ToolBox App to type the calibration value and save, the device will add the calibration value to raw value.

Besides numerical calibration, ToolBox provides more calibration methods for CO2:
Manual Calibration: Put the device in an open outdoor environment for more than 10 minutes and click this button to calibrate the CO2 value.
Restore Factory Calibration: Clean the manual calibration and turn back to factory calibration. Auto Background Calibration: When enabled, keep the device work in a well-ventilated environment for 180 hours (around 7 days), then disable the calibration.

Threshold Settings
Go to “Device Settings -> Basic” of ToolBox software or “Device -> Settings -> Threshold Settings” of ToolBox App to enable the threshold settings and input the threshold.
For temperature, it will upload the current data once instantly when temperature is over or below the threshold. Note that when you change the temperature unit, please re-configure the threshold.

For CO2, TVOC, PM2.5, PM10 and HCHO/O3, it supports defining Excellent, Polluted and Bad threshold for traffic light, buzzer and screen alarms. Besides, when one of concentrations of air pollutants exceeds the Bad threshold, AM300 series will upload the current data once instantly.

Data Storage
AM300 series supports storing more than 18000 data records locally and exports data via ToolBox App or ToolBox software. The device will record the data according to reporting interval even not joining network.

  1. Go to “Device Settings -> Basic” of ToolBox software or “Device -> Settings -> General Settings” of ToolBox App to enable data storage feature.

  2. Go to “Maintenance -> Basic” of ToolBox software or “Device -> Maintenance” of ToolBox App, click “Export”, then select the data time range and click “Save” to export data.
    Note: ToolBox App can only export last 7 days’ data. If you need to export more data, please use ToolBox software.

  3. Click “Clear” to clear all stored data inside the device.LINOVISION-AM-LoRaWAN-Indoor-Air-Quality-Ambience-Monitoring-Sensor \(26\)

Data Retransmission
AM300 series sensor supports data retransmission to ensure network server can get all data even if network is down for some times. There are two ways to get the lost data:

  • Network server sends downlink commands to enquire the historical data for specifying time range, see section 6.4;
  • When network is down if no response from LinkCheckReq MAC packets for a period of time, the device will record the network disconnected time and re-transmit the lost data after device re-connects the network.

Here are the steps for data retransmission

  1. Ensure the device time is correct (see section 4.3);

  2. Enable data storage feature and data retransmission feature;
    LINOVISION-AM-LoRaWAN-Indoor-Air-Quality-Ambience-Monitoring-Sensor
\(27\)

  3. Enable rejoin mode feature and set the number of packets sent. Take below as example, the device will send LinkCheckReq MAC packets to the network server at least every 30 mins to check if the network is disconnected; if there is no response for 8 times (8 * 30 mins = 240 mins =4 hours), the device will record a data lost time point( disconnection time minus 4 hours).
    LINOVISION-AM-LoRaWAN-Indoor-Air-Quality-Ambience-Monitoring-Sensor
\(28\)

  4.  After the network connected back, the device will send the lost data from the point in time when the data was lost according to the reporting interval.

Note

  1. If the device is rebooted or re-powered when data retransmission is not completed, the device will re-send all retransmission data again after device is reconnected to the network;
  2. If the network is disconnected again during data retransmission, it will only send the latest disconnection data;
  3.  The retransmission data format is started with “20ce”, please refer to see section 6.4.
  4. Data retransmission will increase the uplinks and shorten the battery life.

Historical Data Enquiry
AM300 series sensors support sending downlink commands to enquire historical data for specified time point or time range. Before that, ensure the device time is correct and data storage feature was enabled to store the data.

Command format

Channel Type Description
fd 6b (Enquire data in time point) 4 Bytes, unix timestamp
**** fd **** 6c (Enquire data in time range) Start time (4 bytes) + End

time (4 bytes), unix timestamp
fd| 6d (Stop query data report)| ff
ff| 6a (Report Interval)| 2 Bytes, unit: s, range: 30~1200s (60s by default)
---|---|---

Reply format

Channel Type Description
**** fc **** 6b/6c
  • 00: data enquiry success
  • 01: time point or time range invalid 02: no data in this time or time range

20| ce (Historical Data)| Data time stamp (4 Bytes) + Data Contents (Mutable)

Note

  1. The device only uploads no more than 300 data records per range enquiry.
  2. When enquiring the data in time point, it will upload the data which is closest to the search point within the reporting interval range. For example, if the device reporting interval is 10 minutes and users send command to search for 17:00’s data, if the device find there is data stored in 17:00, it will upload this data; if not, it will search for data between 16:50 to 17:10 and upload the data which is closest to 17:00.

Example
1. Enquire historical data between 2022/9/8 17:43:31 to 2022/9/9 01:45:20.

Carbon Dioxide Levels and Guidelines

CO 2 Level Description
400ppm Normal outdoor air level.
400-1000ppm Typical level indoors with good ventilation.
1000-2000ppm Poor air quality – requires ventilation.
**** ≥2000ppm
  • Headaches, sleepiness and stagnant, stale, stuffy air.
  • Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present.

5000ppm| Workplace exposure limit (as 8-hour TWA) in most jurisdictions.

40000ppm| Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain damage, coma, even death.

TVOC Levels and Guidelines

IAQ Rating TVOC (mg/m 3 ) Air Quality
≤1.99 <0.3 Very Good
2.00 to 2.99 0.3 to 1.0 Good
3.00 to 3.99 1.0 to 3.0 Medium (not recommended for exposure > 12 months)
4.00 to 4.99 3.0 to 10.0 Poor (not recommended for exposure > 1 months)
≥5.00 >10.0 Bad (not recommended)

Note : the conversion from mg/m3 to ppm by the factor is about 0.5 and conversion from ppm to ppb is by the factor 1000.

Illuminance Levels and Guidelines

Level Illuminance/Lux Environment Description
Level 0 0-5 No light or minimal street light, twilight.
Level 1 6-50 Cloudy indoor.
Level 2 51-100 Family living room, hallways.
Level 3 101-500 Offices, show rooms, study library, laboratories.
Level 4 501-2000 Supermarkets, drawing work, detailed mechanical workshops,

operation theater.
---|---|---
Level 5| >2000| Performance of very prolonged and exacting visual tasks.
