- Power on the device.
- Allow the device to operate for approximately 3 minutes to complete its initial calibration and register stable readings.
6. Operating Instructions
The monitor provides real-time data on various air quality parameters.
6.1 Understanding the Display
The LCD screen displays the following parameters:
- HCHO: Formaldehyde concentration (mg/m³).
- TVOC: Total Volatile Organic Compounds concentration (mg/m³).
- PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10: Particulate Matter concentrations (µg/m³).
- TEMP: Ambient Temperature (°C/°F).
- HUM: Relative Humidity (%).
- Air Pollution Level: A color-coded indicator (e.g., green for fresh, red for poor) provides a quick visual assessment.
6.2 Alarm System
The device features an alarm system to alert you to deteriorating air quality:
- When air quality is good, the indicator will typically be green.
- If air quality worsens and reaches predefined thresholds, the indicator will change (e.g., to red), and an audible alarm may sound to notify you.
6.3 Navigation and Settings
Use the control buttons to navigate through menus and adjust settings (e.g., unit conversion for temperature, alarm thresholds). Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific functions.
The monitor provides 24-hour real-time data monitoring, ensuring continuous air quality assessment.
