Commissioning of the CO2 Ampel®

The CO2 Ampel® has the option of two operating variants: simple local operation and extended cloud-based operation.

Local offline operations

In addition to the CO2 Ampel®, you only need a 230V outlet for local operation. Insert the power plug into the outlet. The CO2 Ampel® will light up once, play the signal tone and take in the surrounding air. The CO2 concentration is measured and the measured value is displayed in colour according to the current air quality. The coloured display is based on the preset threshold values (see sticker CO2 Ampel® / packaging). With the help of the app, the threshold values can be adjusted later (see chapter “Mobile application”). No internet connection of the CO2 Ampel® is necessary for this. If local operations are used, measured data are not saved.

Function test

For the function test, please blow frequently into the side openings of the device at a small distance. If there is sufficient CO2 exhalation, the CO2 Ampel® will then show the exceeded threshold value in colour. After good ventilation, the display of the CO2 Ampel changes back to green.

Cloud-Operation

For cloud-based operation you need a WiFi router, a stable WiFi connection and the “CO2 Ampel®” app from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (Apple / iOS) (see chapter “Mobile Application”)

The cloud-based operation offers the following advantages:

• Adjustment of threshold values in the event of legal changes or personal preferences
• Switching the acoustic signal on / off (when threshold values are exceeded)
• Documentation of measurement data by uploading it to the provided cloud
• Monthly report including visualization
• Grouping of several CO2 Ampel® into individual system units (e.g. “ground floor”, “School A”, “Company B”, “open-plan office”, etc.)
• Receive push notifications (app usage) when threshold values are exceeded or in case of device failure
• Connect the CO2 Ampel® with other devices such as room ventilation and ventilation devices (e.g. HEPA filter) or electric window openers

Mobile Application / App use

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the CO2 Ampel® app installed on your smartphone. Proceed in the same way as when installing the CO2 Ampel® app (see chapter: “Installation of the CO2 Ampel® app”). If a more recent version is available, the “Update” button appears in the Google Play Store or App Store.
