OVERVIEW
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: TheThe IAQ PRO 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 IAQ PRO SmartAir does NOT provide audible alarms for CO2, VOC’s,
PM2.5, PM10, Relative Humidity, Temperature, Building Pressure or Dew
Point.
The IAQ PRO SmartAir is a compact, professional, SmartAir instrument for measuring various
aspects of indoor air quality. 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 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, or print or e-mail the report as a PDF. The
SmartAir is great for documenting the quality of indoor air, and recommending additional prod-
ucts or services that technicians can provide to resolve indoor air quality problems.
FEATURES BENEFITS
No Buttons, Controls or Calculations Extremely simple operation
Light bar Intuitive color bar provides air quality status
(ranging from Green/Good to Red/Severe)
IAQ PRO Paired To Mobile Device - With CPS
Link app
Mobile device provides information about
indoor air quality and will create a customiz-
able, user friendly report showing an analysis
by the internal sensors
VOC Sensor - Detects Volatile Organic
Compounds
If a value is in a Moderate to Severe range,
the CPS Link app will recommend one or
more remedial solutions
Combustible And Non - Combustible Gas
Sensor
Particulate Matter Sensor - Detects particles
≤ 2.5 µ and 2.5 ≤ 10 µ
Environmental Sensor - Reads indoor
temperature, relative humidity and static
pressure
Determines if temperature, relative humidity
or building pressure are within the indoor
comfort zone as specied by ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 55.
Customizable Reports Technician can enter prices to complete any
repairs (Recommended Solutions)
Export Test Data Technician can save, print or e-mail

*Minimum time to acquire accurate data (after any required burn-in or warm-up times). Note: If stored in
temperature extremes, let SmartAir (unplugged) adjust to indoor temperature for 30 minutes minimum. If OFF for
>24 hrs, run for 12 minutes minimum (if OFF > 48 hrs or Initial Start, run 50 minutes minimum).

4. From the App Store or Google Play, download the CPS Link app on your mobile device.
5. On your mobile device, go to the “Settings Screen” in the CPS Link app and select the
Language and Units you wish to work in. Also, select whether or not to use the “Geographic
Tagging” feature that will document the global location where any tests are performed.
6. On your mobile device, go to the “Device List” and select the name of one or more IAQ
PRO SmartAir devices you want use (no more than 7 SmartAirs should be connected to one
mobile device).
7. The Dashboard screen will appear next and show readings for all 8 air quality factors sensed
by the SmartAir.
8. For more accurate readings, and to generate an Indoor Air Quality Test Report, start a 30
minute (default setting) test:
a. Touch the “TESTS” icon (upper left of screen), or
b. Touch the “check” icon (lower right of screen), then
c. Touch the copy “Air Quality”
9. A new screen will appear and count backwards from 30 minutes.
10. If you want to conduct a test shorter than, or greater than 30 minutes, go to the MAIN menu,
then:
a. Settings
b. Product Specic Settings (bottom of screen)
c. Air Quality
d. Test Duration (insert your custom timeframe-ranging from) 5 minutes minimum to 23
hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds maximum.
e. During a Standard or Custom test, the the SmartAir will sample the surrounding air once
every second, then average all the values for all 8 air quality factors over that timeframe.
11. In addition, the light bar on the IAQ PRO housing will turn:
a. GREEN- if all the readings for PM2.5, PM10, VOC’s and CO2 fall within a GOOD range.

1. If the IAQ PRO has been stored in extreme outside temperatures,
allow it to adjust (unplugged) to the indoor temperature for at least
30 minutes before using.
2. If being used for the very rst time, and if adjusted to the indoor
temperature, place IAQ PRO SmartAir on an indoor residential
surface and plug the USB-C end of the included cable into the
SmartAir, and the USB end into the included USB AC adapter.
3. Let the SmartAir run for 50 minutes as an initial “sensor burn in.”
For subsequent uses, if the SmartAir has NOT been used for >48
hours, also allow 50 minutes before collecting data. If the SmartAir
has NOT been used for 24 to 48 hours, allow 12 minutes each
time. After any sensor burn in time, or after being unplugged, let
the SmartAir run at least another 5 minutes minimum during which
time it will collect data for all 8 air quality factors.
