2.2 Pre-planning
The monitors require only basic assembly out of the box.
Wire a mains AC power cable
Attach Particle Monitor inlet
Attach gas inlet (AQS only)
Attach third party sensors (where supplied)
Configure MOXA modem (where supplied)
Aeroqual recommends these steps be performed in an office or laboratory as part of a quality control
check of the monitor to make sure the monitor has arrived undamaged and the flow system, electrical
system and communication system are working as expected.
Some of the steps described here will be repeated in the field as part of the installation and
commissioning process.
After these steps have been carried out, the Monitor can be safely transported to the monitoring site
for installation and commissioning.
Key points to consider for assembly and first power up:
The monitors run on single phase mains AC power 100 - 260 VAC (standard): 21W / 30W, or
if required a regulated 12 VDC: 21W / 30W. For more details see section 2.4.
Configuration used for power calculations: base unit, nephelometer, PM10 sharp cut, O
3
module, modem, heater off / heater on.
You need to supply a mains power cable and local plug, Aeroqual recommends a residual
current device (RCD) be used to protect against power spikes.
You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, and if you have an external sensor you will also
need a small flat blade screwdriver.
There is no software to download and install, and no cables are required for communication.
Communication to the monitor is through your web browser on your laptop, tablet or smart
phone using WIFI.
If you have purchased a MOXA modem, this needs a local SIM (dynamic IP) same as you
would have in your smart phone, but you must know the APN of your chosen
telecommunications provider, you can look this up:
