Installation and commissioning
Commissioning is the process of setting up a new monitor to work correctly on site. It is important that
the correct procedure for commissioning the monitors is followed to ensure reliable monitor operation
and to meet or exceed your data quality objectives. All monitors are supplied with a traceable factory
calibration. This calibration is applicable to the commissioning phase and accordingly Aeroqual does
not recommend an initial calibration as part of monitor commissioning.
Aeroqual provides a commissioning procedure which should be completed during this period. This
report details the tasks carried out during commissioning, and can be used to demonstrate correct
commissioning to end customers.
The commissioning procedure is available from:
https://www.aeroqual.com/support/resources/aqm-65
NOTE:
Please allow at least 30 min for the monitor to warm up to counter the effects of humidity.
Complete the Commissioning report and provide to customer
This report details the settings of the monitor at the time of commissioning. The completed report
should be provided to the customer, along with the factory logbook which is provided with every
monitor.
