Combining Sensirion’s market-leading environmental and air quality sensing expertise with our expertise in high- volume scaling solutions, the Nubo Sphere system offers high performance at a low total cost of ownership. The robust system design enables the acquisition of reliable and highly accurate data at any time. It is rapidly deployed and easy to use, and the two sensor cartridges ensure low maintenance expenses and provide a future-proof, sustainable setup.
2 System description 2.1 System operation overview The Nubo Sphere monitoring system consists of multiple Nubo sensor nodes, a cloud-based data analytics system and a user- and smartphone-friendly web interface. The node has two slots for sensing cartridges. The cartridges can be easily exchanged for maintenance or upgrading.
Nubo sensor nodes are to be operated only with compatible sensor cartridges provided by Sensirion Connected Solutions AG. Do not modify the cartridge or install components not supplied by Sensirion Connected Solutions AG or components not explicitly marketed to be used with Nubo sensor nodes.
3.2.1 Node placement For the entire system to operate correctly, it is important to ensure that the Nubo Sphere sensor nodes are placed at the correct positions on your site. Please check with your sales representative before installation to determine exactly where the Nubo Sphere units and the wind meter should be placed and how the wind meter should be oriented.
There are two installation variants to choose from, depending on the actual location. All sensor nodes are installed in conjunction with a solar panel. The necessary components are included in the Nubo Sphere sensor node package. In most situations, one node per site is equipped with an additional wind meter, which requires a Nubo Sphere wind meter package.

6. Connect the other end of the wind meter cable to the connector on the cartridge at the bottom of the Nubo Sphere sensor node. 7. Carefully align the wind meter (for correct alignment, the arrow and the red mark on the wind meter must point exactly toward another sensor node on the site).
