Please read, follow and understand the contents of this entire manual, with special attention
given to warning statements.
FOR USE BY PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS ONLY.
WARNING: The SmartAir is NOT a life-safety device and does NOT provide absolute
values for all indoor airborne solids, liquids or gases that may be detected.
It does NOT replace the capability of existing Smoke Alarms, Carbon
Monoxide Alarms, Heat Detectors or any other dedicated life safety devices
intended for use in residential or commercial environments.
The SmartAir does NOT provide audible alarms for CO2, VOC’s, PM2.5,
PM10, Relative Humidity, Temperature, Building Pressure or Dew Point.
STORAGE NOTE: THIS DEVICE IS A PRECISION INSTRUMENT AND IT IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED TO ALWAYS STORE IT INSIDE UNDER NORMAL
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. If the IAQPRO has been
stored in temperature extremes, it must be placed indoors, unplugged
in NORMAL TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY conditions for 6 to 8 hours
before being powered ON.

SETTING THE tVOC SENSOR BASELINE (Approximately 24 Hours, 5 Minutes Required)
• User must set the tVOC sensor baseline PRIOR TO INITIAL USE.
• Follow instructions below or connect unit to CPS Link App for online guidance.
• Unit does NOT need to be connected to app during the initial 24 hrs. time period (Step
1- 2).
• Unit must be connected to CPS Link app to complete Step 3.
Step 1: (24 Hours Required) Select a secure location INDOORS, plug unit into power
source to turn ON and allow it to run for 24 consecutive hours. Light bar will initially
turn RED, then alternate Green/Red during this time period.

GREEN Good
YELLOW Satisfactory
DARK YELLOW Moderate
ORANGE Poor
RED Severe
Step 2: (5 Minutes Required) Relocate the unit to a secure, dry
location OUTDOORS with access to power (do not locate in
direct sunlight). It is OK to disconnect the unit from the INDOOR
power source while relocating it to the OUTDOOR location.
Power unit ON and wait for 5 mins.
Step 3: Open the CPS Link App on your smart device and select the
IAQPRO icon to connect unit. Once connected, online guidance
screens will appear prompting completion of Step 1 & 2 above.
Swipe right to advance to the SET BASELINE screen. Touch
the SET BASELINE option to save tVOC baseline and complete
setup.
CONDUCT AN INDOOR AIR QUALITY TEST
The tVOC sensor requires a stabilization period when powered ON (the light bar will ash
Green/Yellow during this process). The stabilization period can last between 5 to 60 minutes
depending on the combination of storage conditions and time (minutes, days, weeks) the
unit was powered OFF. Unit can be powered ON during travel between jobs to minimize
jobsite stabilization time using available automobile USB power connections or other readily
available portable power devices.
a. For more accurate readings and to generate an Indoor Air Quality Test Report, start a
30-minute test (default setting).
• Choose the “TESTS” icon (upper right of screen), then.
• Choose the “Air Quality” option (lower left of screen).
• Choose a “Standard Test” (30 minutes) or “Custom Test”.
• If “Standard Test” selected, touch “Start Test” button to begin. A new screen will
appear, and the timer counts backwards from 30 minutes.
• To conduct a test shorter or longer than 30 minutes, select “Custom Test.” Enter
the desired test period (minimum of 5 min to a maximum of 23 hrs, 59 mins, 59
seconds), then press “Start Test”.
b. The light bar on the SmartAir housing will display a
color indicating the range (see chart at right) within
which the highest reading for ONE of these values
(PM2.5, PM10, tVOC or CO2) is found. Note: If the
SmarAir is paired to your mobile device with the CPS
Link app, it will emit a a short blue ash once every
5 seconds.
c. For more detailed information about any item being
measured, see the Information Section in the app.
d. Users are encouraged to pair the SmartAir to a mobile device using the CPS Link app
for more detailed information about the quality of indoor air.

CREATING A CUSTOMIZED REPORT AND JOB PROPOSAL
The SmartAir is a compact, professional, Indoor Air Quality monitor used for measuring
various aspects of indoor air (temperature, static pressure, dew point, relative humidity,
volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10). After
placement on an interior residential surface, detailed air quality data can be obtained by
pairing this meter to a mobile device running the CPS Link app. The app will summarize air
quality conditions and send a homeowner a friendly report with recommended solutions (if
problems found). Technicians may enter repair costs into the report by using their paired
smart device.
Technicians may then review this report on screen, print or email the report as a PDF. The
SmartAir is great for documenting the quality of indoor air and recommending additional
products or services that technicians can provide to resolve indoor air quality problems.
a. Generating a Customizable Report and Proposal - After running an indoor air
quality test choose “View Results” at the bottom of the dashboard.
b. A screen will appear showing the “Air Quality Issues.” Choose “Continue” at the
bottom. This will take you to the “Causes and Solutions” screen.
c. A screen will appear showing the “Causes and Solutions.” Here you can ll in your
information (Contractor Information) if you have not already done so in the “Prole”
section found under the Main Menu.
d. Next you can either select a customer or enter a new customer’s information by
choosing the “Select Customer” button. (Customers can be entered under the Main
Menu / Tools / My Customers. To enter a new customer, select “ADD NEW” in the
bottom right corner).
e. Add Custom Causes and Solutions – By choosing the icon next to a cause or
solution you can add in custom causes and solutions not included in CPS Link.
f. Enter Service Prices – You can choose a solution by clicking the circle next to that
solution which will add a icon next to that solution and enable you to enter a price
for that product and/or service.
g. Saving & Sending A Proposal - Once you have entered pricing information, choose
“Continue” located at the bottom. This will bring up your proposal. At the bottom of
the proposal you can choose to email or view the proposal. You also have the option
to choose “Done” which will save the proposal to your “Job” folder under the main
menu so you can view or send it at a later date.

If the SmartAir is turned OFF after conducting tests at various locations
on a jobsite, the VOC sensor will need to warmup each time after
being powered OFF. The warmup period may last 5 to 60 minutes
(depending on the amount of time the SmartAir was turned off). See
Quick Start Guide or Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions.
* After being powered ON. If stored in temperature extremes, let SmartAir adjust (unplugged) to indoor temperature for 6~8 hours.
** Accuracy spec applies up to 600 ppb. See Quick Start Guide or Owner’s Manual for additional use instructions.
