When thinking about where to place your indoor air quality sensors there are a few things to consider:
Where do you want to measure the air quality? The device itself is recommended to cover (but not limited to) less than 50 square meters (539 square feet)
Where is the Space Hub (formerly known as “Hub”)? The sensor needs to be within range of the Space Hub. SmartLink protocol can easily penetrate 3 thick concrete walls/floors or 10 drywalls in an office building. Old industrial constructions or deep underground areas may be challenging and should be evaluated first.
At a height of 1.1 - 1.70m (3.6 - 5.6 feet) (Breathing Zone)
With a screw (if necessary) or the included 3M adhesive (flat surface)
Avoid placement in proximity to
Large metal objects/cabinets
Doors or Windows
Fresh air supply
Sources of heat (i.e radiators) or humidity (i.e. Showers)
Outer Walls
This indicator should make it easier for you to find an optimum placement.
