INTRODUCTION Why PM2.5? PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) can penetrate deeply into the lungs, irritate and corrode the alveolar wall, and consequently impair lungs function, thus triggering asthma attack or contributing to cardiovascular disease. Example of PM2.5 are fine dust from vehicle exhaust, wildfire, power plant emissions, other combustion activities. Why PM10? PM10 (particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter) can irritate exposed mucous such as the eyes and throat. Thus high levels of PM10 could easily make people cough, nose run and eyes sting. PM10 includes dust from construction sites, highways, roadways, landfills and agriculture, wind fires and bush/waste burning, industrial source; wind-blown dust from open lands, pollen, mold spores, and fragments of bacteria. Swiss sensor technology with MCERTS certification The device comes with Swiss made SENSIRION Particulate Matter Sensor SPS series designed for indoor and outdoor air quality application. Its measurement principle is based on laser scattering and innovative contamination-resistance technology, which enables precise measurements from the device's first operation and throughout its lifetime of usage. Multi-zone feature Through our multi-zone technologies, each device has a unique device code with a user selectable channel number. Up to 4 separate air quality sensors can be placed in an open proximity covering an area across 100m radius from its main display unit (to be purchased separately). Low maintenance The Swiss sensor is expected to have a lifetime of over 10 years while operating continuously for 24 hours/day. With its contamination-resistance material, there is no need for cleaning and/or maintenance, thus avoiding problems related to sensor drift or malfunction. 1. LCD display 2. [ MODE ] key 3.

MEASUREMENT INTERVAL Powered by DC adapter The device measures PM2.5 or PM10 concentration every minute automatically when powered with a DC adapter. Manual detection User can press [ CHECK ] button anytime to get an updated measurement of PM2.5 or PM10 concentration readings. (It takes approximate 10-12s to detect, the readings indicated by blinking PM2.5/PM10 icon.) Operated by batteries When powered by batteries, it's detecting every 10 minutes by default. To maximize the battery life, user can also change the detection interval from 10 minutes to 20 or 30 minutes. Setting default measurement interval 1. Press and hold [ CHECK ] for 2 seconds until the display is flashing 2. Press [ MODE ] to choose which interval time. 3. The setting sequence: 10m 20m 30m 4. Press [ CHECK ] to finish the setting and back to normal display. Detection interval (Minute) Description 1(when connected to adapter) The sensor will detect the PM value every 1 minute 10 (default) The sensor will detect the PM value every 10 minutes 20 The sensor will detect the PM value every 20 minutes 30 The sensor will detect the PM value every 30 minutes PM2.5/PM10 CONCENTRATION For easy visualization of air quality, the device spreads the concentration readings over 6 level scale. The following provides some gives health guidelines on activities between good and hazardous air quality*: PM2.5 0~35 PM10 0~50 Health persons Elderly, Children, Pregnant women Persons with chronic disease or heart disease Continue with normal activities Continue with normal activities Continue with normal activities Good 36~53 51~75 Continue with normal activities Continue with normal activities Continue with normal activities 54~70 76~100 Reduce prolonged or strenuous Minimize prolonged or strenuous Minimize prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion outdoor physical exertion outdoor physical exertion 71~150 101~350 Avoid prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion Minimize outdoor activity Avoid outdoor activity 151~250 351~420 Minimize outdoor activity Avoid outdoor activity Avoid outdoor activity 251+ 420+ Avoid outdoor activity Avoid outdoor activity Avoid outdoor activity Hazardous *Always consult/check with your doctors for any medical advices concerning the air quality and your health. Note: This 6 level scale of PM2.5 / PM10 concentration is not the same as Air Quality Index (AQI). BATTERY POWER STATUS The device is powered by rechargeable batteries, and comes with battery power indicator. The battery life of the device from fully charged batteries is determined by the number of detections it performed, either through set intervals or manually activated by user. PAIRING WIRELESS SENSORS TO CONSOLE DISPLAY This Wireless PM2.5/PM10 Air Quality Sensor can connect to the Air Quality Display console. 1. After power up the wireless air quality sensor, it will automatically enter registration mode for 10 minutes until which it can be paired by the display console. 2. Once the connection is successful, the signal strength indication PM10 information will appear on the display console. and PM2.5/ Note: - If you need to re-assign the sensor channel, slide the channel slide switch to the new channel position, then use a pin to press [ RESET ] key to restart the sensor. - To avoid the sensor(s) and console pairing failure during new channel number assigned and setup, please power up the sensor(s) first, and then press [ SENSOR ] key on the main unit. - After connected to the console display, the reading will transmit every 12 seconds in the first 5 minutes. Every reading transmission, the symbol of signal transmission , will flash 0.5 seconds at once. VIEW DATA ON CONSOLE You can view the readings of your PM2.5/PM10 sensor(s) on the console receiver to which the sensor(s) is linked to. Readings can then be analyzed into averages of past 24 hours or maximums of past 1 hour, 24 hours, or since its last reset. DATA TRANSMISSION The device transmits its updated reading at fixed interval of 60 seconds to the paired console receiver. RESET THE SENSOR In case of malfunction, use a pin to press [ RESET ] button to reset the sensor. SENSOR INSTALLATION The sensor is designed for desktop or wall mount for easy viewing. Follow the guidelines below for the sensor placement. 1. Choose an open area away from any emissions source of pollutants, heat source, or with air flow greater than 1m/s. 2. Place the wireless PM2.5/PM10 sensor at least 1.5m to 2m above the ground to better illustrate the detection of air quality in the human breathing zone. 3. Do not expose the sensor to direct sunlight. Wall mounting Sensor can be mounted on the wall at different angle, either at slant angle or vertically with the mounting adapter (included). 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% < 20% When battery power fails to below 20%, user should recharge the batteries by connecting to a USB port using the cable provided. Note: When the wireless PM2.5/PM10 air quality sensor's battery power is below 20%, its detection function will temporary suspension. CHARGING BATTERY You can use the micro USB cable to charge the wireless PM2.5/PM10 sensor if the battery states show in "Low battery". When Micro USB port plug in the micro USB cable for charging, the LCD will display and flashing battery icon. Place a screw on the wall where you wish to hang for sensor. Hang the sensor on to the screw with or without the mounting adaptor. : Charging underway : Charged to full capacity Note: - Charged to full capacity from <20% battery power status require 24 hours. REPLACE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Over time, the batteries may degrade in terms of holding the highest capacity for which it was designed for. If you find the device's battery power is not lasting as it used to be, it's probably a good time to change them. 1. Unscrew and remove the battery door of sensor with a screwdriver. 2. Pull the black ribbon lying under the batteries. All batteries can be removed together. 3. Insert new 3 x AA size rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity mark inside battery compartment. 4. Screw the battery door compartment on tightly. 5. After inserting batteries, all LCD segment will be shown for 1 second. Note: Please prepare a screwdriver for removing and close the battery door. Vertical angle Slant angle Note: - Higher siting may also be appropriate if the sensor is representative of a large area.
