Thingsee AIR installation instructions

Using Thingsee AIR sensor

• Thingsee AIR is for indoor use only
• Environment humidity should be <85% RH at all time.
• Usage temperature range: +5 ºC to +50 ºC, non-condensing environments only.
• Please note that the correct TVOC and CO2 data are available only after the sensor device has conducted baseline calibration for the environment.
• TVOC sensor conducts baseline calibration for the TVOC levels and valid data is available after 24h of continuous use.
• Accurate CO2 baseline level is set by autocalibration during the first 8 days of usage. The autocalibration is based on the outdoor CO2 level. CO2 level in normal air pressure is 400 ppm.
• There must be “free of people” moments with full ventilation in the space, so the device works best in locations where there are no people 24h.

Note: Thingsee AIR requires ‘free of people’ moments in the space, when the indoor air is fully changed, to set the correct 400 ppm baseline. This is why places such as schools and offices are good places to use the sensor, as the baseline can be set during the night.

Note before installation

Please make sure the Thingsee GATEWAY is installed before you install the sensor.  To ensure strong enough signal strength for data delivery, keep the maximum distance between installed sensors under 20 m.If the distance between a measuring sensor and the Gateway is > 20m or if the sensors are separated by a fire door or other thick building materials, use extra sensors as routers to ensure adequate signal strength.

Things to avoid in installation

Avoid installing Thingsee products near the following

• Thick concrete structures or thick fire doors
•  Thick electrical wires
• Electrical transformers
• Escalators
• Nearby heating or cooling devices and/or vents
• Direct sun light
• Nearby halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps or similar lamps with hot surface
• Nearby radio equipment like WiFi routers or any other similar high power RF transmitters.
•  Avoid installing the sensor in close proximity to a spot where there’s people presence constantly, such as right next to workstations.

Installation

Open the box and follow the instructions of this user and installation guide. Take product from the box and open it with the opening key. Select a place where to install Thingsee AIR (see ‘Things to avoid in installation’ before) – recommended height 1,4 m – 1,8 m.

Take the B-cover and place it on the wall on the decided location. Screw the B- cover to the wall (use anchor with concrete wall or gypsum board. Place the batteries inside the A-cover.

Take A-cover and identify the product by reading the QR code in the side of the A-cover. To identify the device over Thingsee API, please follow the link for further information: https://support.haltian.com/api/open-services-api /api-sequences/

Attach the A-cover to the B-cover attached to the wall. (Make sure the Thingsee logo is right way).

Note: Make sure the sensor is installed max. 20 meters form the next sensor or gateway. This is to ensure full coverage mesh network between the sensors and the gateway.
