Is your favourite shopping centre just relying on their contracted Air Conditioning company to monitor the IAQ in the space – maybe once a month? or is Shopping Centre Management taking a proactive roll in reviewing the air quality for the benefit of all customers? Parasti ir iespējams vēdināt telpas, kurās uzturas, taču, neskatoties uz to, mēs vienkārši aizmirstam par ventilāciju. Pastāv arī maldīgi priekšstati par to, kas tiek uzskatīts par “saspiestu” istabu un cik kaitīga tā patiesībā ir. Vai zināji, ka spēja uztvert informāciju augstā CO2 koncentrācijā samazinās līdz pat 50%!!

Although cheaper monitors may use different types of sensors, none of these is as accurate as an NDIR sensor – many aren’t accurate at all. Most other sensors are electrochemical and are known to be less accurate. Unfortunately, some manufacturers have begun to label their devices as NDIR when they are not. This has caused a lot of mistrust within the space. I used the Aranet iOS app on an iPhone 12 and iPhone 14 Pro. Experiences may differ on other operating systems/smartphones. Thanks in large part to COVID-19 related studies on virus transmission 3, growing numbers of people have become aware that poor air quality directly affects their respiratory health, productivity, cognitive function, and wellness. However, it’s difficult to understand the cleanliness of one’s surroundings without a specialized monitoring device. Battery life: This device contains a quality e-ink display and the device itself can function for up to 10 years after activation, depending on how often the device updates measurement data. Readings can be set to one, two, five, or 10-minute intervals between updates in the mobile app. Perhaps the best way to display the capabilities of the Aranet4 Home is to show the device in use. As mentioned earlier, I’ve taken the device into various settings over the past year and had some fascinating findings. Let’s dive into some of them!Recently, carbon dioxide monitors have been gaining a lot of attention. With findings showing how detrimental CO2 is to our cognitive performance and drowsiness levels, it’s no wonder that more people are interested in monitoring the carbon dioxide concentrations in their local environment.

Measurement intervals: Within the application, you can change how often your Aranet4 displays updated information. This can be set to one, two, five, or 10-minute intervals. Some drift can be found over time in the temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure sensors. However, the drift is generally minimal and shouldn’t impact your device usage – even after five or more years. This process will take about half an hour, allowing the Aranet4 Home to take a new baseline reading. From now on, the device will use that calibrated concentration as its baseline, and all future readings will be taken, assuming that 420 ppm reading is accurate. It is worth mentioning that once you calibrate the device, you can never return it to factory calibration. Relative humidity: A representation of how much moisture there is in the surrounding air, this reading is in the upper right corner. Understandable graphs: Data gathered by the Aranet is compiled in a colored graph that makes representation simple.Muurbevestiging: er is een speciale veiligheidsbevestiging verkrijgbaar in onze webshop (zie 'accessoires') Recalibration: All Aranet4 CO 2 monitors are calibrated before being shipped out. But please be aware, they should be recalibrated roughly once per year. This is possible through the app. To do so, go to the settings menu and select CO 2 calibration.
