Page 9: Case
Case a. Traffic congestion <- Mounting > holes b. Fixation The ACW-THAQ is attached to a wall by two screws that fit into the two mounting holes on the back of the case. The lid vents must be on the right, in the same direction as the photo opposite. -
Page 10: Installation
c. Installation For optimal results, it is recommended to install the box without environmental obstructions and to place it at a height of about 1m50. For information, the antenna is integrated into the box. It should be mounted on a vertical stand, or attached to a wall. -
Page 11: Operation
How it works The 2020 new generation ACW (Atim Cloud Wireless®) products are all based on the same internal software (Firmware) and bring exciting new features such as selecting and visualizing their mode of operation. To find out the state of the product, simply run a magnet briefly (<2 sec) against the QRCODE label, which causes the LED indicator... -
Page 12: Product Commissioning
b. Product Commissioning Unless otherwise requested, ACW products are delivered with connected batteries and put into "deep sleep" mode. To place the product in its operating mode, hold a magnet against the QRCODE label for 6 seconds. During these six seconds, the product's LED should flash WHITE and then... -

Page 14: Passivation Of Batteries
WARNING Once the manipulations are complete, press the button twice again simultaneously so that it returns to its main function. A white flash indicates that the manipulation was successful. h. Passivation of batteries All new generation ACW products incorporate a battery depassivation feature, preventing battery oxidation during prolonged deep sleep phases. -

Activation/deactivation as well as configuration of start and end times can be done via the ACW Configurator desktop application or via Downlink. ACW Configurator a.

Page 16: Configuring The Acw-Thaq
b. Configuring the ACW-THAQ Emission period and samples in the frame The transmission period corresponds to the time interval between each sending of a measurement frame. The minimum emission period is 1min. The maximum emission period depends on the number of samples in the frame. It is equal to the number of hours corresponding to the number of samples per frame. -
Page 17: Period Of The Life Frame
NOTE The sampling period is set at a maximum of 1 hour for reasons of overall autonomy of the product. Since the product needs 48 consecutive measurements without a power cut at the CO2 sensor, in order to be able to perform a CO2 self-calibration, the longer the 48 measurements, the shorter the service life of the product. - Page 18 1. LoRAWAN Class A : The modulation of the product is done in LoRa and uses the LoRAWAN Class A protocol. This mode requires a LoRAWAN (Private Gateway) private network, or an operated network in order to view the data sent by the product. 2.

Product Clock Each time the configurator is connected, the product's clock is updated (based on the computer's clock) and displayed . In addition, a second offset can be applied if needed. Product versions Upon connection with the product, the configurator retrieves all the software versions of the product (product software and radio module software) as well as the network identifier Sensor Configuration Temperature and humidity... -
Page 20: Air Quality (Vocs And Co2)
Air quality (VOCs and CO2) Two sensors are present for air quality measurement: one for the measurement of CO2 concentration, the second for the measurement of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). For each one, you will find the following configuration items: Sensor Activation/Deactivation. -
Page 21: Co2 Sensor Calibration
It is also possible to see in real time the value measured by each of the sensors. In addition, for the CO2 sensor, it is possible to configure the altitude at which the sensor will be installed to improve the accuracy of the CO2 measurement, as well as to activate/deactivate the air quality indication via the LED on the front. -
Page 22: Advanced Configuration
Advanced Configuration A final tab provides access to the advanced configuration setting of the product. For the "Period" field, it is advisable to leave the default value. Otherwise, there is a checkbox to enable or not the night mode (checkbox = night mode activated). For the moment the time slot for activating this mode is only configurable by Downlink, the configuration from the application will be possible very soon. - Page 23 c.
