CaDi CI-100 Overview

The CaDi CI-100 CO2 monitor is a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) based Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor designed for monitoring CO2 concentration and health. The monitor features a CO2 sensor that is stable and maintenance free with a measurement range from 0-5000ppm. The CO2 monitor comes with integrated WiFi to enable remote monitoring via a smartphone app.

Why monitor CO2:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas formed by humans and animals as they exhale carbon dioxide as well as a by-product from fires and other combustion sources.

Although C02 is not toxic, elevated levels indicate that insufficient fresh air is being circulated to occupants and that other pollutants may also be building up indoors and so controlling CO2 levels will help control indoor air quality in general.
Simple steps such as ensuring vents are kept open and windows are
opened whenever CO2 levels build up can maintain good levels of indoor air quality

The following table provide guidance on the optimum level of CO2 are and what is considered fair and poor levels of CO2.

OK

0-999 ppm

|

Good Ventilation
Typical of normal C02 levels in occupied spaces

---|---

Fair

1000-1999 ppm

| Inadequate Ventilation
Can cause feelings of drowsiness and or headaches
Poor

2000-5000 ppm|

Poor Ventilation
Stale, stagnant air which can cause drowsiness, nausea and poor concentration

Know your CaDi sensor

• A. Status LED – LED will flash when setting up and or when the device is disconnected from Wi-Fi. A steady Green LED is on when connected.
  It changes colour from Green to Orange to Red depending on CO2 level, Green being Ok.

• B. Power Port – Connects the included power adapter with your CaDi sensor.

• C. Reset Button – Resetting CaDi will allow you to connect to a new Wi-Fi network (useful if you change the sensor’s location or change your Wi-Fi password). Using the reset pin supplied and with the CaDi sensor powered on; Press this button for 8 seconds and then release. If the sensor has reset correctly the Status LED’s will slowly blink green.

• D. Air Vents – These are important vents that allow air flow through your sensor – be careful not to block these and leave plenty of space (at least 10 cm) between other surfaces for optimum performance. Please refer to  ‘Cleaning your CaDi sensor’ for more information.
  

Quick start steps

1. Plug in your CaDi sensor using the power supply included. Plugging the sensor in turn on the sensor -there’s no or off switch. After powering on, please leave it unattended during setup so it can adjust  to  it’s surroundings. You will see the status LED start to blink
   

2. After installation, follow the set up instructions on your device to set up CaDi with your Wi-Fi.
   

3. Start using CaDi – after setting up your sensor to your home network, CaDi will start collecting air quality information.
   It will take a few minutes to start displaying CO2 readings on the app.

Using the CaDi app

The CaDi app is how you can interact with your sensor and see the CO2 levels in your home. For a full list of features and to learn more about using the CaDi app, please visit: www.nuwavesensors.com/support

The following are some of the major features of the CaDi app:

App Dashboard

The dashboard is the main page on the app and where you can view all of the different sensor readings. Each sensor has its own widget which displays the current reading while the surrounding widget box changes colour depending on air quality. Pressing one of the widgets will tell you more about the data from that sensor.

Optimal Levels

Each sensor has an optimal band which is the ideal level each sensor should be reading. This is a recommendation to help you understand what is ideal but do not worry if your sensor is reading above or below the optimum bands. You can find tips and recommendation on how to improve air quality in your home on the Optimal Levels page which is accessible from the main menu.
Compatibility • Android: Android smart devices running on Android 4.4 and higher

Where to place CaDi

• CaDi is designed to be used indoors only. We recommend placing a CaDi sensor in every room that is commonly used such as your kitchen, living room, bedroom or in the work environment.
• CaDi should be installed at least 3 m (10 ft) away from cooking appliances.
• To help CaDi work at its best please ensure that there is a clear space around your CaDi sensor with no obstructions.
• Do not place your CaDi sensor near any heat source such as a radiator or at a window or direct sunlight.
• Place CaDi within range of your wireless network.
• Place on a flat surface in an open space – avoid placing in areas where airflow may be obstructed
• Avoid placing CaDi within reach of pets and children.

Important notes

• CaDi is designed to help you understand the CO2 levels in indoor environments. CaDi is not a medical device and is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns about air quality and its effect on your respiratory system or general health.
• CaDi is not designed to detect carbon monoxide and is not a replacement for a carbon monoxide alarm.
• CaDi is not a replacement for a smoke alarm.

Important precautions when using CaDi

Caution! This device is recommended for use indoors and in a dry location only.

• Avoid using CaDi in very dusty environments as dust build up may obstruct the air flow within the device.
• Take care when using CaDi to route the power cable in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as by tripping or choking.
• Do not cover or obstruct vents around the CaDi sensor.
• Only use the power adapter supplied with CaDi.
• Do not open or disassemble the CaDi sensor as this will void the warranty.
• Do not insert anything through the vents.
• Do not concentrate any gas. dust or chemicals directly at the CaDi sensor.
• Do not use this device near water.
• Do not drop or subject the device to undue shock.
• Do not place in insect-infested areas. Insects can block vent openings to the sensor and cause unwanted alerts.

Cleaning your CaDi sensor

Cali is designed to be maintenance free, but you should keep it clean and avoid dust build up -especially around the air vents of the sensor which can reduce performance. To clean CaDi:

1. Turn off mains power and remove the power adapter plug from CaDi.
2. Wipe the outside with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Don’t use soap or solvents!
3. Very gently vacuum around the vents of the CaDi sensor to remove dust obstructing the vent openings.

Note:

• Never use detergents or solvents on your CaDi sensor or spray air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near it.
• Do not place CaDi in water or let water get inside the CaDi sensor.
• Do not paint your CaDi sensor.
