  • Page 3: Introduction

    To evaluate the performance of the filtration and HVAC systems  This guide will assist you in determining the best place to install your Kaiterra Sensedge air quality monitors for individual rooms, large open spaces, and entire building projects. This guide will also cover power considerations, network considerations, and device configuration so you are best prepared to handle your upcoming installation project.

  • Page 4: Layout Considerations

    Locker Rooms Not recommended For any of Kaiterra’s enterprise air quality monitors, we recommend an area coverage of 3,500ft² (325m²) with the area of each enclosed space calculated individually*. *Our guidelines follow the standards outlined in RESET and WELL v2 for sensor area coverage.
  • Page 5 IAQ monitoring and the budget available for the project. Feel free to contact your account representative at Kaiterra to discuss this further. The following is a sample floor plan that demonstrates how our air quality monitors should be distributed throughout a typical building floor plan.

  • Page 7: Placement Guidelines

    Placement Guidelines Image 2. A room demonstrating proper air quality monitor placement. For placement, we recommend the guidelines required for RESET Air certification, which requires RESET Air Accredited Monitors to be installed according to the following requirements: A. Wall-mounted and centrally-located within monitored spaces. B.

  • Page 8: Enclosed Spaces

    E. Hard-wired to a permanent power source (recommended but not mandatory). Other things to consider: Air is drawn into the Sensedge from both the sensor modules on the bottom and the  air intake on the top. It is vital that neither side of the device is covered as any changes in the airflow may affect the readings and accuracy of our devices.
  • Page 9 Enclosed Spaces Definition: A room enclosed by four walls and a door, which is smaller than 3,500ft². Image 3. A 2,500ft² (232m²) room with three (3) suggested AQM installation locations. Page 8...
  • Page 10 -- but for this example, location one (1) is acceptable. Kaiterra air quality monitors should be as central to the room as possible. Because of  this, location two (2) is not ideal. However, since the door on the right is 40 feet (12 meters) away, the installer could shift location two (2) toward the center of the room to become a better option.
  • Page 11 As a comparison, the same example now has a diffuser and a window added to the layout. Given the RESET placement requirements and Kaiterra’s best practices, the only acceptable air quality monitor placement for this scenario is position three (3): It is centrally located -- especially for the regularly occupied space in the room ...

  • Page 12: Open Spaces

    Open Spaces Definition: An open space, uninterrupted by walls for more than 3,500ft². For open spaces, the best way to approach this is to take a look at the entire space as a whole and determine two key things: 1. How big is the space you are trying to collect data from? 2.
  • Page 13 Image 5. A 10,000ft² (929m²) open space with three (3) AQMs installed for optimal air data coverage. For the example above (Image 5), we have a 10,000ft² (929m²) open space. In order to achieve optimal coverage for this space, you will want three (3) air quality monitors installed -- which would meet both WELL and RESET certification requirements.
  • Page 14 For non-certification projects with a similar scenario as above, you will still want to prioritize the regularly occupied spaces. However, you could reduce the number of monitors in the space from three (3) to two (2) by removing the bottom monitor as this would still provide great coverage of the regularly occupied areas.

     amount of power for the device. *Note: using third-party power adapters have not been regulated or tested for long term use. Page 14 Please use caution when deciding on using any type of power converter with a Kaiterra product.

  • Page 16: Network And Data Considerations

     Secondary MQTT via Wi-Fi or Ethernet  Open API via Wi-Fi or Ethernet via the Kaiterra Cloud  Some network connections may require additional wiring, such as a recommended Ethernet cable connection. We do not provide any additional wiring with our devices, so if you wish to use any of the communication protocols above, please make sure you are able to properly connect to them and provide any necessary wiring.
  • Page 17 Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to the Internet. This will allow your data to be uploaded to the Kaiterra Cloud and Dashboard for ease of access via Primary MQTT and also enables many other communications and features that require the Internet, such as our Open API and the Kaiterra Dashboard.
  • Page 18 If desired, data from the Sensedge can also be locally retrieved via microSD card, allowing the device to be used completely offline with no communication protocols. Insert your microSD card and navigate to Settings →...

  • Page 19: Dashboard Setup

    Dashboard Setup The Kaiterra Dashboard allows you to view the data from your Kaiterra air quality monitors. Go to dashboard.kaiterra.com and create an account. Then, click “Add Device” and use the Unique Identifier (UDID) of each device to add them to the dashboard.
  • Page 20 Kaiterra Dashboard can be difficult. As a workaround, you can make use of the Kaiterra Live Air Phone App, which enables you to add each Sensedge device to the phone app via QR code and, when you are ready to add all of your devices to the Kaiterra Dashboard, you can scan the QR code on the dashboard with the phone app and they will add each device simultaneously.
  • Page 21 On the app, navigate to Options → Settings → Devices → Link to Cloud and scan the  QR code on the dashboard to add all of the devices on the Live Air app to the Kaiterra Dashboard. Once all of the devices are added to the Kaiterra Dashboard, there are plenty of things you can do with it, such as creating alerts to notify you when a pollutant reading has gone too high or you can put your air quality readings on display using our Kiosk View.
