User Manual: IAQEye (10/24/22)
Quick Overview
The IAQ EYE is a wall mounted, WiFi communicating, air quality transmitter that is designed to monitor
air quality and/or interface to building control equipment. It is available with configuration options for:
•
Battery or 24 VAC/VDC: Option of a battery powered (2 AA 3.6V Lithium), or 24VAC/VDC
operation. Battery life of 1 to 1.5 -years at 15-minute sample and send interval.
•
E-Ink Display: Option of a bright white, E-ink display or no display versions.
•
Visual/Audible Alarm: Ability to set visual and audible alarms for targeted values.
•
Add Analog Inputs: Ability to add 3 analog inputs (two 4-20 mA or 0-10V and one 10K2 or 0-5 V
input).
•
RTU Interface for CO2 DCV: Ability to add the AirTest RTUiLINK WiFi gateway which connects
the IAQEye™ to a rooftop air handling unit (RTU) with an economizer to provide CO2 based,
demand-controlled ventilation. This connection can either be by a peer-to-peer WiFi connection
or via a local WiFi network.
•
Interface to BACnet Control Systems: Ability to use the BB3-7301-AT Babel Buster WiFi-to-
BACnet gateway to connect the transmitter to a BACnet control system. One gateway supports
up to 100 Transmitters. Measurement data appears as BACnet objects in the Babel Buster
interface.
•
Cloud Data Monitoring: A cloud portal is available to allow for monitoring, profiling and storage
of data measured. This option is a factory setting and must be ordered at time of sale.
•
IAQEye Reporter: Connect to the IAQEye™ with a phone using the QR code on the bottom
label. A summary of the last week of data is visible on the phone. Feature enabled in late of
2022 if the device is connected to the internet.

- Page 3 The IAQEye™ communicates over WiFi and the internet using a UDP protocol. This information can be sent to any internet or network connected device to capable of translating the UDP packets . The UDP communication protocol can https://www.AirTest.com/man/IAQEyeUDP.com be downloaded at this link: RTUiLINK™ :Adds CO2 DCV To Rooftop HVAC Systems The RTUiLink (TR4201) is a WiFi receiver that is placed in a RTU to provide a CO2 DCV signal to the economizer from the IAQEye™...
- Page 4 Connecting and Configuring The IAQEye™ The IAQEye™ has a built-in web server that allows local access and adjustment of the transmitter settings. To access the server, you must be withing 30 feet of the IAQEye with a WiFi enabled smartphone, tablet or computer. This section describes how to set up the units and adjust its operational settings.
- Page 5 Note: The WiFi interface will disconnect after a period of 15 minutes. To re-activate the interface, hold the button to the right of the Airtest Logo for 10 seconds or until the LEDs on the front cover blink along with an audible sound.
- Page 6 Shown below on this page are four sequential captures of the Network Selection process for the IAQEye™. To set up the network you will have to know the SSID and password of the network you will be joining. Note: the IAQEye™ is designed to connect only to 2.4 gHz networks. •...

- Page 8 7. CO2 Commissioning This section facilitates the adjustment of a number of factors that affect the behavior of the IAQEye™. It is important to note that CO2 adjustments in this section affect the CO2 output on the IAQEye™ Sets the ppm Low/High range to control the damper position for demand-controlled ventilation.
- Page 9 8. RTUiLINK™ The RTUiLINK™ is an accessory for the IAQEye™ that allows the CO2 signal from IAQEye in the space to be broadcast to a receiver inside a nearby Rooftop Air Handling Unit (RTU). The RTUiLINK™ provides a 0- 10VDC signal to a CO2 capable economizer in the RTU. The RTUiLINK has a similar WiFi interface to the IAQEye™...
- Page 10 AirTest Engineer. Set Filter for CO2 Data Output These values relate to the response characteristics of the CO2 signal. Please contact AirTest if you feel you need to adjust these parameters. Actuator Control In some cases, a user may want to directly drive an actuator or VFD rather than input the CO2 signal into a Economizer.
- Page 11 11. Alarm Configuration Alarms can be set for all of the measurement parameters of the IAQEye™. When alarm conditions as defined in the interface are enabled met two things will occur: • On IAQEye™ units with display the lower portion of the display will display the measured parameter in alarm with an exclamation mark such as CO2!.
- Page 12 RTUiLINK™ Installation The RTUiLINK™ is designed to be mounted in an RTU and receive a WiFi signal from one to four IAQEye™ transmitters in the space below, via an antenna inserted into the return air which acts as a wave guide to propagate the signal. The graphic below shows the installation methodology. The IAQEye™...
- Page 13 RTUiLINK™ Setup: • Like the IAQEye™ the RTUiLINK™ has a built-in webserver that allows access to the adjustment interface for the device when in close proximity. • Using the wiring instructions above power up the RTUiLINK™. • Open your WiFi communicating device such as a phone, tablet or computer and go to select WiFi networks.
- Page 14 System Setup: Paring IAQEye™ units to the RTUiLINK™ • In most application one IAQEye™ will be installed to communicate to one RTUiLINK™ in an RTU. However, it is possible to pair up to four IAQEye™ units to one RTUiLINK™. To create an IAQEye™ link, input the 12- character MAC address (With dashes) into the Transmitters location MAC field (the IAQEye™...
- Page 15 RTUiLINK™. Connecting to an internet connected network is necessary if you are utilizing the CloudiLINK™, the Babel Buster BACnet Gateway or if you want to ensure a stronger communication signal for all AirTest units being utilized. A RTUiLINK™ should be set up prior to configuring the IAQEye™ units.
- Page 16 • The second part of this section allows for customization of aspects of how the CO2 signal responds. It is highly recommended that users do not adjust these variables themselves. Contact AirTest if you feel you need to adjust any of these factors.

- Page 18 Link to Quickstart: https://csimn.com/CSI_docs/BB3-7301-MQ-QuickStart.pdf The special sensor features For the AirTest IAQEye are found at the Sensors tab under System. The first page that will appear is the Sensor Data page. The parameter data that has been received from a sensor is displayed here.
- Page 19 Sensors are referenced by device number, or simply device name from the drop-down list, in the parameter maps. The sensor's MAC address is only entered one time here on the device page. This makes it far easier to replace a sensor - you only need to enter the new MAC address one time even if a dozen data points are mapped.
- Page 20 The parameter maps are displayed in summary form on the Parameter Maps page when first arriving at this page. To view the full detail of any one map, click on the Map # in the first column. The full detail is illustrated on the following page.
- Page 21 This Parameter Maps detail page creates a map entry that processes data received from an IAQEye Sensor and places that data into a BACnet object. Map number simply tells you where you're at on the list of maps. Click "Next" and "Prev"...
- Page 22 If no bit mask is given (mask is zero), then the entire data value will be processed as received. The raw data will be multiplied by the scale factor. The offset is then added and this final result is written to the local object number given. The BACnet object to which the sensor data will be written must be given.
