Page 4: Ss3-901 Indoor Air Quality Sensor Overview
2. SS3-901 Indoor Air Quality Sensor Overview System Overview The SS3-901 Indoor Air Quality sensor system is made up of four primary components: 1. Sensors USB-C, PoE, or DC-Powered SS3-901 sensors (and any other existing Series 3 sensors) 2. Gateways... - Page 5 Please read this manual fully before deployment of your Swift Sensors SS3-901 Indoor Air Quality sensor. This manual and linked supplemental media should be used to gain a deep understanding of the proper use of the SS3-901.

Page 6: Intended Use
95%RH can be tolerated for short periods of time, but also risks condensation which may damage the device. The SS3-901 may be mounted on a ceiling, wall, tripod mount, or rest on its side. Ideal mounting height varies based on application: ●... -
Page 7: Hazards And Care
Ports have proper chassis grounding. PoE 802.3af, PoE+, PoE 802.3at and even passive PoE may be used (as long as voltage is 44-52VDC). PoE is very simple with the SS3-901 as long as proper cables are used (cables which have PoE handling). Note: Do NOT Exceed 100m between PoE nodes, and ideally keep the cables 50m or less between nodes. -
Page 8: Device Cleaning & Maintenance
● Operational Lifetime: The SS3-901 is designed to operate for 3-5yrs without any interaction. The SS3-901 should be cleaned at least once every 3-5yrs. The total lifetime of the SS3-901 is estimated to be 7-10yrs, with the necessary replacement of certain items after 10yrs Please contact Swift Sensors for replacement of your sensor. -
Page 9: Mounting And Deployment
The screw size for any mount is M4 or a similar imperial size. Without the mounting plate, the SS3-901 can be screwed onto a standard ¼” tripod mount. The SS3-901 has a female ¼” brass insert for this mounting configuration. -
Page 10: Powering
SS3-901. Regardless of power-mode, backup battery charging will always engage if the battery is not fully charged. The SS3-901 consumes 0.9-1W of power in battery charging mode (which lasts for at most 3 hours), and consumes 0.4W-0.5W in steady-state mode. -
Page 11: Powering Configurations
SS3-901 power consumption. For example, if the DC power supply can provide 2A @ 12VDC, 24 devices theoretically can be connected in parallel (Assuming 1W for highest power operation). However, it is recommended to have less than 20 SS3-901 sensors. Using a power supply at 80% at most is the recommended guideline. - Page 12 Series 3 Gateway as the endpoint. As long as the PoE switch/port has a data uplink, this uplink will forward data to the Gateway. This configuration will allow up to 10 SS3-901 sensors on a single 802.3af port, and as many as 12 SS3-901 sensors on a higher-power port like 802.3at or PoE+.

For electrical specification data, please refer to the SS3-901 Data Sheet. 5.2 More Information Additional information is available via the following resources: ● SS3-901 Product Page ● SS3-901 Data Sheet ● SS3-901 Mounting Guide ● Swift Sensors Console Help Section... -
Page 14: Console Configuration
This table lists the SS3-901 sensor's indoor air quality (IAQ) measurements and highlights some important properties that are explained in the following subsections. The indented measurements marked "Score Component"... -
Page 15: Calculated Iaq Measurements
6.1.1 Calculated IAQ Measurements The three high-level IAQ measurements, Comfort Score, Health Score, and Vape Index, are calculated based on multiple component measurements. Scores are analogous to school grades where a grade above 70 is passing. The Vape Index is the calculated probability that vaping is taking place. The Console also displays a rating and a description to explain what the current calculated score or index means, as shown below. -
Page 16: Visible Iaq Measurements
Measurement List and Hardware List to keep the list views manageable when using many SS3-901 sensors on the same account. Hidden measurements, indicated by a ghosted icon, can be temporarily shown in all lists by checking “Show Hidden Items”... -
Page 17: Instant Measurements
Alerts triggered by instant measurements are delivered in less than 5 seconds of detection to minimize response time. Instant measurements unique to the SS3-901 sensor are focused on detection features: ● Vape Index is normally reported every 5 minutes, but the sensor will generate an instant reading if the vape index rises above 65 indicating a high likelihood of vaping. -
Page 18: Custom Iaq Thresholds
Modifying the thresholds of component measurements will affect high-level scores. SS3-901 sensors added later will also inherit these changes by default. ● Replacing thresholds: If there is a need for some IAQ measurements to have different thresholds, you can create and assign custom thresholds to your IAQ measurements as appropriate. -
Page 19: Iaq Alerts
6.3 IAQ Alerts Since thresholds are automatically assigned to all measurements of a new SS3-901 sensor, the remaining steps for setting up an IAQ alert are: 1. Add a measurement alert (on the Add Alert page) 2. Attach measurements to trigger the alert (in the Measurements panel) 3. -
Page 20: Console Monitoring
7. Console Monitoring 7.1 IAQ Scoreboards As a console feature unique to the SS3-901 Indoor Air Quality sensor, IAQ Scoreboards are specially optimized dashboards for monitoring air quality in a kiosk-style presentation. Use cases for IAQ Scoreboards include: ● Smart TV in the lobby showing overall air quality of the building. -
Page 21: Iaq Scoreboard Types
7.1.2 IAQ Scoreboard Types IAQ Scoreboards come in two types: Aggregated and Single. 1. Aggregated IAQ Scoreboards: These scoreboards are opened from the detail page of a container such as an account, a custom hardware group, or a custom tag. They display aggregated indoor air quality status collected from all IAQ sensors in the container. -
Page 22: Iaq Scoreboard Customization
7.1.3 IAQ Scoreboard Customization You can customize IAQ scoreboards to display a level of detail that is most appropriate for various use cases. The icons at the bottom left corner are toggle switches to show or hide various rows or columns. Score Components Toggles the second row of component measurement values and measurement score indicators that contribute to the comfort and health scores. -
Page 23: Dashboards With Iaq Panels
7.2 Dashboards with IAQ Panels Indoor Air quality information can also be monitored side-by-side with any other sensor data, such as measurement charts, critical measurement lists, and analytics, in highly-customizable dashboards. Please visit Swift Sensors Console for more information about configuring and using dashboards. 7.2.1 IAQ Dashboard Panel Options When adding a new panel while editing a dashboard, IAQ Dashboard Panel Options... -
Page 24: Iaq Root Cause Analysis
7.3 IAQ Root Cause Analysis While monitoring indoor air quality, you may notice that a comfort or health score was unusually poor and want to know which component measurement was responsible. To help identify the cause, each comfort or health score detail page has a Comfort or Health IAQ summary panel that shows the component measurement values at the present time or any selected time in the past. -
