INTRODUCTION

1. Basic Features Introduction
2. Device Operations
   Setup Mode
   Press the configuration button for about 3 seconds until the indicator light flashes red and green alternately and then release the button to enter the setup mode.
   Manual Data Synchronization
   Under the power-on state, press the Configuration button once, the green light starts flashing at this time to connect to the network and send data.
   If the red light is on, the data sending failure; if the red light is not on, the data sending success. (After power on, the green light will flash continuously for 15 minutes)
   Switch On/Off Voice Guide
   Double-click the Configuration button to turn voice prompts off or on. At the same time, update the data collected by the device.
   Reset to Default Settings
   Under the power-on state, press and hold the configuration button for about 15s until the red indicator lights up, then release the button to restore the factory state.
   Breathing Light
   Breathing lamp can light up 4 colors: green, yellow, orange and red. Each color indicates a corresponding value range of the data collected by AQS1.
   The working status of the breathing lamp (always on, off, breathing, blinking) can be set through the platform.

DEVICE SETUP OPTIONS

Option 1: Using Mobile App
Download the App from www.ubibot.com/setup, or search for ‘Ubibot’ on the AppStore or Google Play.
We recommend you try to use the PC Tools in case the App setup fails, because the failure may be due to mobile phone incompatibility. The PC Tools is much easier to operate and suitable for both Mac and Windows.
Option 2: Using PC Tools
Download the tool from www.ubibot.com/setup.
This Tool is a desktop app for device setup. It is also helpful in checking setup failure reasons, MAC address, and offline charts. You can also use it to export offline data stored in the device internal memory.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR WiFi CONNECTION

Launch the App and log in. On the home page, tap “+” to start adding your device. Then please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup. You can also view the demonstration video at www.ubibot.com/setup for step by step guidance.

You can find and watch the demonstration videos at www.ubibot.com/setup.

SETUP USING THE APP FOR MOBILE NETWORK *

Before you set up the device on mobile data, please check the APN information of the SIM card used for the UbiBot device.
An APN (Access Point Name) provides the details your device needs to connect to mobile data through your network operator. APN details differ by network and you will need to get these from your network operator.
With the device off, insert the SIM card as indicated in the picture. Launch the app and log in. Tap the “+” to start seng up the device. Please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup process. Please note, the setup will fail if you don’t have data allowance.

SETUP USING PC TOOLS

STEP 1. 
Launch the App and log in. With the device switched on, use the Type-C USB cable provided to connect your device to the computer. The PC Tools will automatically scan and recognize the product ID and enter the device page.
STEP 2. 
Click “Network” on the left menu bar. There, you are able to set up the device on WiFi for all the network models. For the SIM or Ethernet cable setup, please click on the corresponding button to continue.

RS485 COMMUNICATION

The RS485 communication function can be set through the platform. When it is turned on, the sensor will collect data every will be uploaded via RS485 after each data collection. The default is off. For more details, please contact your local distributor or online document.

FAQ

1. Device network configuration failure reasons

① Please check whether the WiFi account password is correct; ② Please check whether the router is working properly and the network connection is normal; ③ Please make sure the device has entered the WiFi configuration mode; ④ Please check whether the WiFi band is 2.4GHz and the channel is between 1~13; ⑤ Please check the WiFi channel width is set to 20MHz or auto mode; ⑥ WiFi security type: LD1 supports OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2-personal; ⑦ Poor signal strength, please check the WiFi or cell phone data traffic signal strength.

2. Reasons for failure to send device data

① Check whether the external power supply of the device is properly connected; ② Check whether the router is working properly; ③ If using the mobile data traffic provided by the SIM card* inside the device, you need to check whether the SIM card* is activated; if the SIM card* is activated, check whether the power supply of the device is normal;also check whether the amount of the mobile data traffic provided by the device SIM card* is sufficient for the data transfer.

3. Can the device be used in a network-free environment?

The device can still work without a network, if you need to check the historical data, you can refer to the following methods: ① After monitoring in no network working environment, you can take it back to the previously configured WiFi environment or insert the SIM card and press the configuration button once to upload the data automatically; ② In the case of no network, connect to the computer through the USB cable, and export the data through the PC tool.

4. Deviation in temperature values after first configuration of equipment?

① The device has been configured for too long and the CPU working temperature is high; ② The device sends data too frequently, resulting in a temperature higher than 0.2~0.3℃; ③ Turn on the TVOC sensor or PM, CO2 and other sensors to collect too often will produce a certain temperature rise.

6. The difference between CO2 and eCO2.

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound made up of molecules that each have one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is found in the gas state at room temperature, and as the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle. Equivalent CO2 (eCO2), also known as Global Warming Potential weighted greenhouse gas emissions (GWP), is a unit, that allows emissions of greenhouse gases of different strengths to be added together. eCO2 is estimat-ed concentration of carbon dioxide calculated from known TVOC concentration.
