INSTRUCTION MANUAL

About this Instruction Manual
These operating instructions are to be considered a component of the device. Please read the safety instructions and the operating instructions carefully before use. Keep these instructions for renewed use at a later date. When the device is sold or given to someone else, the instruction manual must be provided to the new owner/user of the product.

GENERAL WARNINGS

• Risk of electric shock — This device contains electronic components that operate via a power source
  (batteries). Children should only use the device under adult supervision. Only use the device as described in the manual; otherwise, you run the risk of an electric shock.

• Choking hazard — Children should only use the device under adult supervision. Keep packaging material, like plastic bags and rubber bands, out of the reach of children, as these materials pose a choking hazard.

• Risk of chemical burn — Keep batteries out of the reach of children! Make sure you insert the batteries correctly. Leaking battery acid can lead to chemical burns. Avoid contact of battery acid with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact, rinse the affected region immediately with a plenty of water and seek medical attention.

• Risk of fire/explosion — Do not expose the device to high temperatures. Use only the recommended batteries. Do not short-circuit the device or batteries, or throw them into a fire. Excessive heat or improper handling could trigger a short-circuit, a fire, or an explosion.

• Do not disassemble the device. In the event of a defect, please contact your dealer. The dealer will contact the Service Centre and can send the device in to be repaired, if necessary.

• Use only the recommended batteries. Do not use batteries from different brands or with different capacities. The batteries should be removed from the unit if it has not been used for a long time.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

Air Quality Monitor (Main unit console), Air Quality Sensor), Operating instructions, 3x AA rechargeable batteries for the Air Quality Sensor (NiMH, rechargeable)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• We recommend using alkaline batteries. If temperatures regularly fall below 0°C (32°F), we recommend using lithium batteries.
• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements.)
• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment. 2x AA batteries are required for the Air Quality Monitor and 3x AA batteries (NiMH, rechargeable) are required for the Wireless Air Quality Sensor.

INTRODUCTION

• Why PM2.5?
  PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) can penetrate deeply into the lungs, irritate and corrode the alveolar wall, and consequently impair lungs function, thus triggering asthma attack or contributing to cardiovascular disease. Example of PM2.5 are fine dust from vehicle exhaust, wildfire, power plant emissions, other combustion activities.

• Why PM10?
  PM10 (particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter) can irritate exposed mucous such as the eyes and throat. Thus high levels of PM10 could easily make people cough, nose run and eyes sting. PM10 includes dust from construction sites, highways, roadways, landfills and agriculture, wind fires and bush/waste burning, industrial source; wind-blown dust from open lands, pollen, mold spores, and fragments of bacteria.

• Swiss sensor technology with MCERTS certification
  The device comes with Swiss made SENSIRION Particulate Matter Sensor SPS series designed for indoor and outdoor air quality application. Its measurement principle is based on laser scattering and innovative contamination-resistance technology, which enables precise measurements from the device’s first operation and throughout its lifetime of usage.

• Multi-zone feature
  Through our multi-zone technologies, each device has a unique device code with a user selectable channel number. Up to 4 separate air quality sensors can be placed in an open proximity covering an area across 100m radius from its main display unit (Air Quality Monitor).

• Low maintenance
  The Swiss sensor is expected to have a lifetime of over 10 years while operating continuously for 24 hours/day. With its contamination-resistance material, there is no need for cleaning and/or maintenance, thus avoiding problems related to sensor drift or malfunction.

Always consult/check with your doctors for any medical advice concerning the air quality and your health

Note:
This 6 level scale of PM2.5 / PM10 concentration is not the same as Air Quality Index (AQI).

BATTERY POWER STATUS

The device is powered by rechargeable batteries, and comes with battery power indicator. The battery life of the device from fully charged batteries is determined by the number of detections it performed, either through set intervals or manually activated by user.

When battery power fails to below 20%, user should recharge the batteries by connecting to a USB port using the cable provided.

You can use the micro USB cable to charge the wireless PM2.5/PM10 sensor if the battery states show in “Low battery”. When Micro USB port plug in the micro USB cable for charging, the LCD will display and flashing battery icon.

Note:

• Charged to full capacity from <20% battery power status require 24 hours.

REPLACE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Over time, the batteries may degrade in terms of holding the highest capacity for which it was designed for. If you find the device’s battery power is not lasting as it used to be, it’s probably a good time to change them.

1. Unscrew and remove the battery door of sensor with a screwdriver.
2. Pull the black ribbon lying under the batteries. All batteries can be removed together.
3. Insert new 3 x AA size rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity mark inside battery compartment.
4. Screw the battery door compartment on tightly.
5. After inserting batteries, all LCD segment will be shown for 1 second.

PAIRING WIRELESS SENSOR TO CONSOLE DISPLAY

This Wireless PM2.5/PM10 Air Quality Sensor can connect to the Air Quality Display console.

1. After the wireless air quality sensor is switched on, it will automatically enter registration mode for 10 minutes until which it can be paired by the display console.
2. Once the connection is successful, the signal strength indication and PM2.5/PM10 information will appear on the display console.

Note:

• If you need to re-assign the sensor channel, slide the channel slide switch to the new channel position, then use a pin to press [ RESET ] key to restart the sensor.
• To avoid the sensor(s) and console pairing failure during new channel number assigned and setup, please power up the sensor(s) first, and then press [ SENSOR ] key on the main unit.
• After connected to the console display, the reading will transmit every 12 seconds in the first 5 minutes. Every reading transmission, the symbol of signal transmission , will flash 0.5 seconds at once.

DATA TRANSMISSION

The device transmits its updated reading at fixed interval of 60 seconds to the paired console receiver.

RESET THE SENSOR
