Frient Air Quality Sensor Installation Guide
Product description
The Air Quality Sensor monitors indoor air quality through continuous detection of volatile organic compound (VOC) levels. The sensor provides information on the VOC levels, so adverse health affects caused by unhealthy indoor air can be prevented. By monitoring indoor air quality, the Air Quality Sensor helps you ensure that the air inside the room is clean and healthy.
Precautions
- Do not remove the product label as it contains important information.
- Be aware that electronics are sensitive to static electricity, so aim to discharge before touching, and avoid touching any components inside the device.
- Avoid placing the sensor close to radiators or electromagnetic fields.
- Do not paint the sensor.
Placement
PLACE THE SENSOR
- Indoors at a temperature between 0-50°C.
- Inside the room, in which you want to monitor VOC levels.
- On a wall, where it is reachable for battery replacement and maintenance.
Mounting
- Open the casing of the Air Quality Sensor by pushing the switch and pulling the top of the casing..
- Use double-sided tape or screws to attach the sensor on the wall.
- Insert batteries respecting the polarities.
- Make sure that the sensor has joined a network before closing the casing.
Connecting
- When the batteries are inserted, the Air Quality Sensor will start searching (up to 15 minutes) for a Zigbee network to join.
- Make sure that the Zigbee network is open for joining devices and will accept the sensor.
- While the sensor is searching for a Zigbee network to join, the LED flashes red.
- When the LED stops flashing, the sensor has successfully joined the Zigbee network.
- If the scanning has timed out, a short press on the round menu button will restart it.
Resetting
Resetting is needed if you want to connect your Air Quality Sensor to another gateway or if you need to perform a factory reset to avoid abnormal behavior.
STEPS FOR RESETTING
- Open the casing of the sensor.
- Press and hold the round menu button inside the device.
- While you are holding the button down, the LED first flashes once, then two times in a row, and finally numerous times in a row.
- Release the button while the LED is flashing numerous times in a row.
- After you release the button, the LED shows one long flash, and the reset is completed.
Fault finding & cleaning
- In case of a bad or wireless weak signal, change the location of the Air Quality Sensor. Otherwise you can relocate your gateway or strengthen the signal with a smart plug.
- If the search for a gateway has timed out, a short press on the button will restart it.
Battery replacement
The device will blink twice every minute when the battery is low.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with instructions.
CAUTION: When removing cover for battery change – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can harm electronic components inside
- Open the casing of the Air Quality Sensor to replace the batteries.
- Replace the batteries respecting the polarities.
- Close the casing of the sensor.
Disposal
Dispose the product and batteries properly at the end of their lives. This is electronic waste which should be recycled.

Hi there,
how can I calibrate the sensors?
I have 3 sensors that are attached next to each other and have been online for 7 days without a break. All
show very different values because I have put them into operation differently. First 2 hours in the fresh air, one in the basement and one in the bedroom. The one that I have put into operation in the fresh air does not come above 100 ppm at all – no matter how bad the air is.
When I start up all 3 sensors in the same room, they show the same values, but I don’t know which start-up is correct to get the right values.
Hallo,
wie kann ich die Sensoren Kalibrieren?
Ich habe 3 Sensoren die nebeneinander angebracht sind und mittlerweile 7 Tage ununterbrochen online sind. Alle
zeigen stark unterschiedliche Werte an, da ich sie unterschiedlich in Betrieb genommen habe. Einen zuerst 2 Stunden an der frischen Luft, einen im Keller und einen im Schlafzimmer. Der, den ich an der frischen Luft in Betrieb genommen habe, kommt überhaupt nicht über werte von 100 ppm – egal wie schlecht die Luft ist.
Wenn ich alle 3 Sensoren im gleichen Raum in Betrieb nehme, da zeigen sie zwar die gleichen Werte an, aber ich weiß nicht welche Inbetriebnahme richtig ist, um die richtigen Werte zu erhalten.

How do I calibrate the Frient Air Quality Sensor and ensure consistent readings across multiple units?
The Frient Air Quality Sensor uses an automatic calibration algorithm to establish a baseline for VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) levels. Because the sensor measures relative changes in air quality, the environment in which it is first powered on significantly impacts its initial readings.
To ensure your sensors are calibrated correctly and show consistent values, follow these guidelines:
After resetting, place all three sensors in the same well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours to allow them to synchronize their baselines under identical conditions before moving them to their final locations.
