Inspect all system components for obvious shipping damage (Refer to
“Important Notice: Shipping Damage” in case of damage).
NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing material in case the unit
needs to be returned to the factory. If the system does not operate
properly, see
Maintenance and Troubleshooting sections, for further
instructions.
Installing the Orion Air Quality Monitor (AQM)
Site Selection:
Finding a suitable site for the monitor is important in obtaining
representative ambient measurements. The site should represent the
general area of interest.
Protect the AQM from direct sunlight in high temperatures. Fast
temperature changes can temporarily decrease the performance and
direct sunlight can raise the operating temperature over the allowed limit.
Avoid direct sunlight in high temperatures for long periods of time.
For example, exposure to +50°C (+122°F) may damage the air
quality transmitter.
Installing the Mast
There are three acceptable methods for mounting the mast to a roof or
building structure: Sloped roof mounting, flat roof mounting or wall
mounting. See
Optional Sensor Mounting Hardware for more
information.
Location
Select a mounting location that will allow the sensor cable to be routed
away from other data cables to avoid interference. Do not mount sensors
close to power lines. For normal roof mounting, the recommended
minimum distance from power lines is 25 ft. (8 m). Use extreme caution
when working close to power lines.
Mounting Method
Choose the appropriate mounting method for the installation and obtain
any necessary mounting hardware. Refer to Optional Sensor Mounting
Hardware section for information on optional sensor mounting hardware
and accessories which are available from the factory.
If the mounting hardware is not obtained from the factory, be certain to
use metal parts which are plated or galvanized to assure maximum
longevity.
