1. Security
WARNING
Danger of death, risk of electric shock and fire!
The installation should only be undertaken by a qualified electrician!
To apply for correct bus and power cables and to activate the device, comply with the state of the art
and standards.
Any intervention or modification to the device will invalidate any warranty claim.
• Do not use this probe in environments with regular exposure to silicon vapors (HMDS) because this
gradually alters the sensitivity of the VOC sensor.
• Do not use the sensors for measuring gas content relating to safety!
• Use the probe only with secured low voltages!
2. Positioning
The position of the probe is crucial vis-à-vis efficiency and energy savings for
ventilation, heating and cooling.
• The probe is designed to ensure air quality; it must be placed in the area of
occupancy of the premise served by outlet vents, on a wall at eyes level
(breathing human level, between 1.5 and 1.8m).
• Avoid drafts (near openings, blowing air, doors, outlet vents) and dead zones
(niche, shelves and curtains).
• Avoid orthogonal walls (corners of room in particular)
• Avoid heat sources and the proximity of occupants (radius of 1 m from
workstation).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Consider all seasons sun positions
• Position the probe vertically on a wall or partition.
This device is not intended for installation in duct or ceilings.
Any work not in accordance with this documentation or
changes to the device will invalidate all warranty claims.

3. Flush mounting
Use the backbox provided or an airtight insulated backbox with a
waterproofing membrane through which the sheath passes. If the backbox
passes through the sealing plane, seal between the backbox and the partition
with a specific VOC free and silicone free sealant.
Make sure that the backbox doesn’t contain Silicone.
The depth of the case must be at least 40mm.
4. Wiring
Be careful, wiring must be sealed. Incoming air, even slight, would seriously jam the temperature,
humidity and air quality measures.
When the switchboard is located in the heated volume: caulk arrivals between cables and ducts at the
switchboard level.
When the switchboard is out of the heated volume, caulk between cables and ducts before entering the
heated volume. A sealing plug must also be placed between duct and cable reaching the probe to
prevent air entry.
When the sealing of the duct is not possible, use a specific sealant without silicone and VOC.
In case of use of electrical backbox, select an airtight case with sealing
membrane from which the duct passes through. If the case crosses through the
sealing plane (plasterboard), seal between the casing and panel with a special
sealant without silicone and VOC.
5. Installation
It is recommended to install the probe at the end of the work (after painting and
using silicone-based products)
Connect the 24V power cable to the back of the probe. Just push the stripped
ends (flexible or rigid) into the connector. In case of a multi-strand cable, make
sure to well twist them before inserting them. In case of difficulty, push the
release tab. Respect the polarity (non-destructive).
Make sure to respect the up and down directions indicated on the ventilation grid
otherwise the temperature and humidity measurements will be jammed and the
particles sensor will become dirty.
Screw the probe plate onto the wall box.
Clip the front panel, making sure to position the connector correctly.
If well mounted, the hole for the light sensor shall be on top middle
6. Power on
20 seconds after power-up, the blue status LED and the orange status LED flash together gradually 15
times, at the end of the cycle, the orange LED remains fixed for few seconds, the time to interrogate all
sensors then, only the blue LED "breathes" if the air quality does not require ventilation. If the probe has

not been powered recently, the LEDs may stay orange "breathing" for several minutes until the VOC
sensor stabilizes. The start-up cycle includes built in tests and preheating of the VOC sensor and visual
checks of LEDs
The cycle lasts about 5 minutes in total. During this time no message is sent.
LEDs indicate faults as follows:
Led
Sensor failure after startup
Red Fixed followed by
blinking
End of Product Life (> 10 years)
Alternate Blue red
No power supply or reverse polarity.
Off
7. Indication of LEDs in normal operation
The LEDs show the overall synthesis of IAQ (physiological impacts on health cognitivity and quality of
sleep which depend on the combined effects (cocktail effect) of CO2, VOCs, particles, noise and light,
The building health is also synthesized and takes into account: risk of condensation, deposit of particles
on cold parts)
This synthesis is materialized by a continuous gradual rising and then descending gradation of the
breathing type.

These thresholds can be adjustable by specific commands and the cognitive quality replaced by the
quality of sleep for installation in a bedroom.
8. Connections
8.1. Power supply
The power supply must be continuous (DC) and between 12 and 32V (24V nominal).
8.2. Remote control
The probe can receive instructions from the smartphone application. It is thus possible to deviate from
certain instructions and to recover certain information (status, physiological impact, concentrations,
current mode, etc.).
See user manual for more details.
9. NFC
Used for commissioning (See commissioning manual)
