i3CAIR |COMPATIBILITY
Compatibility Requirements.
The i3CAIR solution works best in combination with an i3TOUCH display. This i3TOUCH
display needs to have an active internet connection along with access to the i3STORE.
The i3CAIR sensor box is compatible with the i3TOUCH-range displays:
i3TOUCH E10r i3TOUCH EX i3TOUCH PX i3TOUCH PXr i3TOUCH ES
No need for a power outlet! The i3CAIR gets its power from the i3TOUCH display
through the USB cable. So no need to struggle with power supply extensions.

i3CAIR |SENSORS
The Sensors.
The i3CAIR Indoor Air Quality Monitor has 4 sensors that determine the Wellbeing Index:
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
The levels of carbon dioxide
emissions indoors are determined
by human breathing. CO2is one of the
best indicators to determine indoor
air quality.
Ranges from: 0 to 10,000 ppm
Typical Accuracy: ±40 ppm
Particle matter (PM2.5)
Ranges from: 0 to 1,000 μg/m3
Typical Accuracy: ±15 μg/m3(<100)
or 15% (>100)
Temperature
Make sure the temperature is
right for you, allowing you to stay
energetic and focused.
Range: 0°C to 100°C / 32°F to 212°F
Typical Accuracy: ±1°C / ±1.8°F
Humidity
Ranges from: 0 to 100%
Typical Accuracy: ±5%

Best Position.
Avoid influence from external sources
i3CAIR |POSITION
Where to position the i3CAIR?
The i3CAIR is best placed in a ‘neutral’ space in the room. We advice not to place an
i3CAIR close to a radiator or any other kind of heating source. The i3CAIR is best placed
in the middle, under the i3TOUCH display, ideally in the shade. Direct sunlight is to be
avoided.
The following circumstances are to be avoided:
1. Placing your i3CAIR too close to a heat source (avoid proximity of heating system,
electronic devices, direct sunlight).
2. Placing your i3CAIR too close to an air vent or ventilation system or anything that
causes an unnatural airflow.
3. Do not position your i3CAIR upside-down

Mounting.
Mounting the i3CAIR onto an i3TOUCH
i3CAIR |MOUNTING
Using the specially designed bracket
The i3CAIR sensor box can be positioned in the most ideal
position using the specially designed bracket. This bracket
can be easily attached to your i3TOUCH

Connect & Setup.
Connect
Connecting your i3CAIR to an i3TOUCH display is incredibly simple!
Use the included USB cable to connect the i3CAIR (micro USB port)
with a USB port on the i3TOUCH.
The i3CAIR will get its power from the USB cable so there is no need
for an external power supply.
When powered on, a small green LED light appears
on the back of the device.
Product Voltage : DC 5V
i3CAIR |CONNECT

Congure.
Install i3CAIR from the i3STORE
The i3CAIR app can be installed directly on your i3TOUCH
display from the i3STORE.
Launch the i3CAIR app
Once the i3CAIR has been attached to the i3TOUCH, move to your
installed apps and open the i3CAIR aplication.
Auto-Configure the i3CAIR
When the i3CAIR app is present on an i3TOUCH display then it will
automatically detect the connection of an i3CAIR sensor box. When
you launch the app you will see the connection status in the upper
right corner.

Connection Status.
Check the connection status in the i3CAIR app
When the connection with the sensor box is successful
the status will be ‘green’ - ‘connected’.
In case of issues the connection status will be ‘red’
showing a ‘disconnected’ message.
Check the connection status in the i3LAUNCHER
If an i3CAIR sensor box has been paired successfully with an
i3TOUCH then the i3CAIR air quality widget will appear in the
upper left corner of the i3Launcher
i3CAIR |CONNECTION

Calibration.
Your device is calibrated out of the box. If you experience deviant
results you can recalibrate the device on the bottom of the menu.
Only use this function if you notice abnormal or inaccurate CO2 readings.
Before you proceed with the CO2sensor calibration. Make sure to position the
i3CAIR sensor box in a location with good outside air circulation. For example:
next to an open window. The i3CAIR sensor box will use the outside air to start the
calibration process. Do not use this calibration function in a closed room with high
CO2 values or in a location with high outside CO2values like a polluted city center.
Doing this will result in an incorrect calibration and cause inaccurate CO2readings.
While not required, it is recommended to leave the i3CAIR sensor box powered on
for at least three weeks while completing initial calibration. The i3CAIR sensor box
will continue to automatically calibrate over a longer period of time to
further increase the accuracy of CO2readings.

8 Day of the week when the measurements were stored - clicking on the arrows will
move to the past/next 24 hours
9 Air quality index of the day chosen day (identical to point 8.). This index is calculated
on all data captured during that particular day.
10 Graph - touching the graph will provide you detailed information of the data measured
at that point in time.
