      S-Series Ambient Temperature, Humidity, and CO2 Sensor Installation Guide

      The S-Series Ambient Temperature, Humidity & CO2 Sensor is only compatible with the SoniLink Hub.  If your Hub has not already been activated, please refer to the SoniLink Hub Quick-Start/Installation Guide before proceeding. 

      The S-Series Ambient Temperature, Humidity & CO2 Sensor is a compact indoor monitoring device for a wireless LoRaWAN network.  It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and is easily installed via a smartphone.

      Below are the screen icon descriptions if you have the optional screen.  

       CO2 Level Indicator Light Levels

      When the CO2 concentration exceeds the threshold:

      Excellent:  Light blinks Green
      Polluted:  Light blinks Yellow
      Bad:  Light blinks Red

      Physical Installation

      Fixed by 3M Tape:
      1.  Fix the bottom of the device to the rear cover with the theft-deterring screw.

      2.  Paste the included 3M double-sided tape to the back of the device, then tear the other side and place it on a flat surface. 

      Fixed by Screws:

      1.  Remove the rear cover of the device, screw the wall plugs into the wall, and fix the rear cover with screws on it, then install the back device.

      2.  Fix the bottom of the device to the rear cover with the theft-deterring screw.

      Note: To ensure the best detection and LoRaWAN communication, it is recommended to install the device as follows:  

      • Do not mount the device where the temperature is below/above the operating range or where the temperature varies greatly. 
      • Stay away from any heat source or cold source like an over or refrigerator. 
      • Do not mount the device close to where airflow varies greatly like windows, vent, fan, or air conditioner. 
      • Do not mount the device upside down. 
      • Do not place the device right next to the window or door.  
      • It is recommended to install the device at least 5 feet from the floor.

      Additional Notes:

      • A full-screen refresh will occur as needed to remove ghosting.
      • If the device detects the temperature outside the range from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), the screen will close automatically. 
      • For CO2 threshold ranges, the device supports defining Excellent, Polluted, and Bad thresholds for LED lights and screen alarms. 

      Power Supply

      Remove the rear cover of the device to install the batteries, do not reverse the direction of the batteries when installing.

      Note: Do not replace with alkaline batteries.  Use ER14505 Li-SOCI2 AA 3.6V Lithium Non-Rechargeable batteries only.  They can be purchased through Sonicu.

          Note: Phone cases may reduce connectivity scanning and may be necessary to remove the phone case from the smartphone for the NFC chip to connect fully.

        6. You can now complete the Implementation Wizard through the app.
        7. Select “Get Started!”


        8. You will be prompted to take pictures of the S-Series meter. 


        9. Once you have taken a picture of the meter select “Complete Installation!”
        1. You will see a pop-up to move on to the next step.
        2. At the top of the page, you will see that your S-Series Meter is now connected.
        3. Select “Next Step!”
        4. Name the point and use the drop-down to place the point of monitoring in the correct zone.
                 
        5. Once the point setup is complete, your implementation wizard is complete for this S-Series meter and you will be rewarded with some confetti.

      Now that your hardware has been installed and can now be seen on the SoniCloud platform, the below checklist has been provided as a reminder of the next steps the Admin needs to take to protect your assets, maintain regulatory compliance, and improve operational efficiency:

      Login to www.sonicumonitoring.com to complete the following steps:
