Thingsee AIR
Thingsee AIR is a state of the art, battery powered wireless IoT sensor
for your indoor air quality monitoring. Together with CO₂ , TVOC,
temperature, barometric pressure, humidity sensors and ambient light
sensor, it’s a perfect device to provide an extensive overlook to both
present air quality data and the data history.
Thingsee AIR is part of Haltian Thingsee IoT solution and product
family.

Using Thingsee AIR sensor
Sales package content
Thingsee AIR detects carbon dioxide (CO₂), total volatility of organic
compounds (TVOC), temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and
ambient light. The product is installed on the wall in the space
where air quality is measured.
Thingsee AIR is a perfect tool to measure indoor air quality (IAQ) in
buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and
comfort of the building’s occupants. The sensor ensures real-time air
quality data for, e.g. adequate ventilation in the premises.
Thingsee AIR uses event-based messaging where measurement is done
every 5 minutes. In case there is a change to the previous
measurement, the measured value will be reported immediately. In
case the measurement value remains at the same level, it’s reported
every 1 hour.
• Thingsee AIR sensor
• 2 x AA batteries
• Screw and anchor to attach the product to the wall
• 1 x Opening Key

Note before installation
Please make sure the Thingsee GATEWAY is installed before you install
the sensor.
To ensure strong enough signal strength for data delivery, keep the
maximum distance between installed sensors under 20 m.
If the distance between a measuring sensor and the gateway is > 20 m
or if the sensors are separated by a fire door or other thick building
materials, use extra sensors as routers to ensure adequate signal
strength.
General installation instructions
The sensor is for indoor use only.
The environment humidity should be <85 % RH at all time.
The usage temperature range is +5 ºC to +50 ºC, non-condensing
environments only.
Please note that the correct TVOC and CO₂ data are available only aer
the sensor device has conducted baseline calibration for the
environment.
• TVOC sensor conducts baseline calibration for the TVOC levels and
valid data is available aer 24h of continuous use.
• Accurate CO₂ baseline level is set by auto-calibration during the first 8
days of usage. The auto-calibration is based on the outdoor CO₂ level.
CO₂ level in normal air pressure is 400 ppm.
Note: Thingsee AIR requires ‘free of people’ moments in the space,
when the indoor air is fully changed, to set the correct 400 ppm
baseline. This is why places such as schools and oices are good places
to use the sensor, as the baseline can be set during the night.

Things to avoid in installation
Avoid installing Thingsee products near the following:
Direct sun light
Nearby heating or cooling devices and/or vents
Thick concrete structures or thick fire doors
Electrical transformers or thick electrical wires
Escalators
Nearby halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps or
similar lamps with hot surface
Nearby radio equipment like WiFi routers or any
other similar high power RF transmitters
Avoid installing the sensor in close proximity to a
spot where there’s people presence constantly,
such as right next to workstations.
