3. Safety notes
• This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above as well as by people with physical, sensory or
mental difficulties or with a lack of experience and knowledge as long as they are supervised or
have been instructed in how to use the unit safely and understand the resulting risks. Children must
not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without
supervision.
• Electrically operated unit. Risk of fatal injury from electric shock or fire.
To prevent personal injury or damage to property, always comply with the following instructions:
- Insert the Euro mains plug of the standard connecting cable only into a suitable 230VAC mains
power supply socket.
- If the mains connection cable for the unit is damaged, it must be replaced by SIEGENIA, its
customer service or an equally qualified person to eliminate hazards.
- Only a qualified electrician may perform any work on the 230V AC mains power supply that is
required in order to connect the unit.
- All-pole safety isolation is required if the customer is routing the mains cable.
- Current local regulations (such as those of the VDE in Germany) must be observed.
- Relevant country-specific regulations must be strictly followed for all work carried out on the
voltage supply system or house wiring system.
- Do not connect the control line and low voltage connections of the device with the 230V
AC mains power supply. This can destroy all connected devices.
- Should a solid object or any liquid get inside the unit, stop operation immediately and
disconnect the unit from the mains power supply.
• Hazard due to third party attacks on SIEGENIA WLAN devices! Please observe the following notes
to protect your system against attacks by third parties:
- Every SIEGENIA WLAN device is protected by two passwords (user and administrator). It is
essential that you change these passwords after the initial setup. Do not leave in the default

5. Installation
5.1 Installation requirements
• Suitable installation location:
- Ideally, use a wall-mounted outlet box
- Not in the immediate vicinity of windows, ventilation devices and people or animals
• A smooth and even wall
• Maintain a temperature of 5°C–40°C during installation
• During installation and before initial operation protect the device against:
- Dirt (e.g. cover ventilation grilles when wallpapering, etc.)
- Draught and directly exhaled air
- Direct sunlight
Exposed electrical components.
Danger due to short circuit or fire.
›Make sure that the power is isolated before installation.
›The fuses may need to be removed.
5.2 Additional requirements for SENSOAIR smart
• The SENSOAIR should be installed to be as free from interference as possible.
The following interferences can have a negative influence on the WLAN signal:
- Water lines
- Stone and concrete walls
- Metal objects
- Air conditioning units
- Wireless devices (e. g. radio telephones, baby monitors, Bluetooth loudspeakers, etc.)
- WLAN networks on the same wireless channels (e. g. the neighbour's WLAN router)
• If energy-carrying cables are routed in parallel to data cables (ISDN, DSL, etc.), this could lead
to interference e.g. in the speed of the data transmission.

8. Commissioning
8.1 Automatic calibration of the CO2and VOC sensors
• The sensors are calibrated automatically as soon as the SENSOAIR is connected to the power
supply (and also following a power failure).
• The LED makes 1x long green flash during the calibration.
• The calibration is completed after approx. 30 min. The LED is then permanently illuminated in green.
Requirements for a faultless calibration
• The room must be well aired before the calibration.
• The room temperature must be between 5°C and 40°C.
• There should be no persons or animals in the room.
9. Care and maintenance
Electrically operated unit.
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock or fire.
To prevent personal injury or damage to property, always comply with the
following instructions:
›Pull the mains plug out of the socket prior to every cleaning process or maintenance work.
Never pull at the cable to disconnect the device from the power supply.
›For all devices with a fixed connection to the 230 V AC mains power supply, switch off all poles
of the feeder. The fuses may need to be removed.
9.1 Cleaning
Important: When cleaning the SENSOAIR, do not allow liquids to get inside the unit.
• Never use cleaning agents that are aggressive or contain solvents, or sharp-edged objects, as these
may damage the surfaces of the casing.
• Never clean the unit with a high-pressure cleaner or steam-jet cleaner.
• Clean the SENSOAIR with a cloth moistened with a mild soap solution or cleaning agent.

11. Technical specifications
• The concentration of CO2and VOCs in the air is measured in parts per million (ppm). The CO2
concentration outdoors is approx. 350 ppm. A level of above approx. 800 ppm negatively impacts
our well-being.
• If the CO2content or the VOC concentration exceeds the following values, SENSOAIR indicates this
using the LED traffic light and connected devices are activated.
• The concentration of CO2in a room depends on the number of people in the room, the length of time
that they spend in that room, the volume of the room and the air change rate.
• For example, a 60 m³ room that contains two people and has an air change rate of 1 will reach a
CO2concentration of 900 ppm.
• Without ventilation, the concentration in the room would increase to 1,500 ppm after two hours and
2,500 ppm after five hours.
• The VOC sensor has a high level of cross sensitivity. For example, it reacts to ethanol, carbon monoxi-
de, methane, butane and cigarette smoke. The concentrations of the individual gases are measured
in the range from 1 - 100 ppm and combined with the CO2values to produce the reference value for
the ventilator control.
