Page 11: General Description
General description The Environmental Sensor is a wireless sensor that can measure a variety of para- meters such as particulate matter, environmental noise, and a wide range of wea- ther-related parameters for an all-round understanding of the environment around it. Air agent Wind agent Particulate matter...
Page 12 The sensor offers a variety of working modes to accommodate different scenarios, all manageable through the MyMove IoT Platform. To operate, the sensor requires a Move Solutions Gateway installed nearby. AGENTS The Environmental Sensor is made up of three Agents that behave as three inde- pendent sensors.
Page 13 parameters the agent collects data on atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature and relative humidity, and an external tipping bucket rain probe can be connected to measure instantaneous and cumulative rainfall. A threshold can be set to trigger an ac- quisition when the total rainfall over a specified time exceeds a user defined threshold. The Wind agent takes measurements from two external Wind speed and Wind direction probes.

Page 26: Pole Mounting
To optimize the wind monitoring performance, place the wind probes free from any obstacle. When mounting the rain sensor to a pole, make sure it’s not directly over the Environmental Sensor to avoid channeling water on the unit. Avoid placing the rain sensor directly under the wind sensors to avoid “shadow effect”...
Page 27 IMPORTANT • DO NOT unscrew the nuts that secure the bolts to the V-clamp Pole diameter from 90mm to 50mm The Pole mounting kit can be used for poles of diameters less than 90mm and more than 40mm. Pole diameter from 50mm to 40mm In case of poles with diameter between 50mm and 40mm, the two V clamp needs to be stacked like the picture below.

Page 39: Wall Mounting
5.3 Wall mounting IMPORTANT • Wall mounting may alter the reading of the noise agent by creating unwanted reflections. It can also affect the air agent by restricting the air flow to the ports, and can lead to false positive if the wall is in itself a source of dust.
Page 40 INSTALLING PROBES ON WALL MOUNTING CONFIGURATION When using the wall mounting configuration, the installation of external probes is under the sole responsibility of the user. The probes supplied by Move Solutions are designed and tested for pole mounting only. Installing the probes in a wall-mounted setup may require custom solutions, which are not covered by this manual.

Page 43 Acquired data The Environmental Sensor is divided in three “agents” which essentially behave as three independent sensors. Each agent is also divided in “channels” that act as a group of outputs that can be thought as linked together. • Noise agent: handles all measurements from the microphone. This agent is made of a single channel.
Page 44 Finally, average data is measured continuously, and the data’s moving average is conti- nuously calculated and used as output. For example, when the noise agent’s average time is set to 1h the L output is the average A-weighted sound pressure level over the last hour at the time of transmission.
Page 45 A and C in the name of the outputs stand respectively for A-weighted and C-weighted sound pressure level, which are two different frequency weightings specified in the standard and used in most applications. The letters F and S in the name of the outputs stand respectively for fast and slow time-weighting and affect how much the parameter is sensitive to sudden changes in noise level;...

Page 47 Air agent The air agent is made up of two separate channels: the air quality channel and the rain channel. The two channels share the cadence, and each one has its own settings as well. AIR QUALITY CHANNEL The air quality channel has two working modes. In low power mode the particulate matter sensor is turned on only at the time of transmission to measure instantaneous particular matter concentrations, and is then turned back off to ensure a much longer battery life.

Page 49 RAIN CHANNEL The rain channel has an enable option in the MyMove IoT Platform that allows the user to turn it on or off, but this doesn’t affect the battery life of the product. The evaluation window setting decides what period of time is considered when computing the cumulative rainfall output.
Page 50: Maintenance
If upon visual inspection the microphone’s windscreen looks damaged, worn out or is missing, a spare part can be requested to Move Solutions. To replace it, simply pull it off the microphone and gently insert the new windscreen. When doing this make sure the microphone and the new windscreen are both dry to avoid trapping droplets of water between the windscreen and the microphone capsule.
Page 51: Replacing The Batteries
The two filters come off easily. Clean them with pressurized air or clean water, or take new ones if they need replacement (spare parts can be ordered from Move Solutions). Before mounting the filters, make sure they are dry. Reassemble the air sensor, making sure the filters are correctly aligned to the holes.
