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

Using Thingsee AIR sensor
Sales package content
Thingsee AIR detects carbon dioxide (CO), total volatility of organic
compounds (TVOC), temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.
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 sensor
• 2 x AA batteries (not installed, replaceable)
• 1 x tape attachment
• 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 communication, 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 times.
The usage temperature range is +5 ºC to +50 ºC, non-condensing
environments only.
Please note that the correct TVOC and CO 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 48h of continuous use.
• The CO2 baseline optimization is always on and updated in 8 day
periods. The baseline adjustment happens in steps toward the
preconfigured 410ppm CO2 level.
Note: Thingsee AIR requires ‘free of people’ moments in the space, when the indoor
air is fully changed, to set the correct 410 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 when the CO2 level is the lowest.

Things to avoid in installation
• The following can eect the wireless radio communication:
• Nearby heating or cooling devices and/or vents
 Thick concrete structures or thick fire doors
 Electrical transformers or thick electrical wires
 Escalators
• Close proximity to a spot where there’s
people presence constantly, such as right
next to workstations.
Note: because the sensor would only measure the air
coming from the vents or people breathing, not the
surrounding air.
 Nearby radio equipment like WiFi routers
or any other similar high power RF transmitters

• Direct sunlight or nearby halogen lamps,
fluorescent lamps or similar lamps with hot
surface
• TVOC sources/chemical substances storage
or equivalent (hand disinfectants/sanitizer etc.)

Installation
Open the box and follow the instructions of this user and installation
guide. Take the product from the box and open it with the opening key.
Select a place where to install Thingsee AIR (see ‘Things to avoid in the
installation’ before). The recommended height on the wall is between
1,4 m – 1,8 m.
Opening Key
Please make sure the Thingsee gateway device is installed before you
install the sensors.
To identify the sensor, read the QR code on the side of the A-cover
with a QR code reader or Thingsee Toolbox application on your
mobile device.
Identifying the device is not necessary, but it will help you keep track
of your IoT installation and help Haltian support to solve possible
issues.

Place the batteries inside the A-cover.
If you change the batteries, Haltian recommends using Varta Industrial
Pro 1.5 V AA LR06 alkaline batteries.
Attach the A-cover to the B-cover attached to the wall. (Make sure the
Thingsee logo is the right way).
Note: Make sure the sensor is installed max. 20 meters from the next sensor or
gateway.

When installing Thingsee AIR using tapes, use a smooth surface for
better adherence.
Clean the surface you will attach the sensor to with IPA -solvent
(isopropyl alcohol).
Make sure that the surface of the device is clean.
The marks in the back of the sensor work as guidelines for where to
place the tapes. Apply the tapes in the device and press for a minimum
of 5 seconds and then remove the tapes’ paper cover.
Always use the tapes provided in the sales package as other tapes or
glue may aect the TVOC values.
Attach the sensor to its place by pushing it firmly against the surface for
a minimum of 5 seconds.

RECYCLING
Check the local regulations for proper disposal of electronic products. The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the
treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE,
and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.
The crossed-out wheelie-bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and
electronic products and batteries must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these
products as unsorted municipal waste: take them for recycling. For info on your nearest recycling point, check with your local
waste authority.
