Device parts
Calibration
The device comes pre-calibrated with ABC algorithm enabled. By default, the ABC algorithm is based on a 8-day period. It keeps a log of the minimum measured CO2 in ppm and at the end of the period considers the minimum value as if it was 400 for the next period. Meaning – if during the previous period the minimum measured CO2 was 430ppm, in the next period this value will be measured as 400ppm.
The ABC auto-calibration is a standard practice in the industry and is applicable for places with non-constant occupation. If a place is constantly occupied (e.g. manufacturing plant), you have to disable the ABC algorithm.
Apart from the ABC algorithm, if the device measures a value below 400ppm, it will run the ABC algorithm immediately, as CO2 values below 400ppm (background level) are considered impossible for smart building applications.
When you press the button, the device indicates the current:
1. CO2 Level
– Green: Good CO2 levels (less than 900ppm by default)
– Yellow: Medium CO2 levels (>900ppm and <1500ppm)
– Red: Bad CO2 levels (>1500ppm)
2. Connection status
– Constant indication: The device is connected to a LoRaWAN® network
Acoustic alarm: The acoustic alarm activates when the CO2 reading is in medium or bad level. By default, the acoustic alarm is disabled.
Warning: Acoustic notification behavior can be changed with a downlink command!
Commissioning
- Open your LoRaWAN® Network provider access panel and add the device using the supplied Serial Number, DevEUI, AppEUI (JoinEUI) and AppKey.
- Continue the Installation with the instructions of your LoRaWAN® Network provider.
- After pulling away the protective film from the batteries, the device will automatically connect to the network. In order to see whether the device has connected to the network, please check LED, Buttons and behaviour.
Installation
We recommend installing the device in an open environment (e.g. not in a recess) at 1.5m height. Do not install the device near air vents as it will negatively impact the CO2 measurements. Avoid large metal parts as it will worsen the RF performance. Use double-sided tape to attach it or remove the frontal plastic cover and use screws to attach it in a more permanent manner.
We recommend installing the device so that the QR code with the serial number stays on the bottom-right side of the device in order to ensure good measurements.
Installation of external temperature sensor (NTC)
MClimate CO2 Sensor measures ambient temperature and relative humidity using a digital temperature sensor. The device also supports installing an additional temperature sensor (NTC) in cases where you want to monitor e.g. pipe surface temperature.
Designed & Manufactured by MClimate in Europe.
