General Setup

  1. Using screws or double-sided tape, mount the base to the wall 3-5 feet high in the "breathing zone", and attach the Aethair IAQ to the base.
    ​

  2. Connect USB cable to the port underneath the Aethair IAQ, and plug the other end into the power adapter and power source. For hardwiring, use the port on the back of the device.

  3. Register your account by following the link sent to you in the welcome email. Download the Aethair app or visit aethair.io and click on "Console", to access your data.

Placement Considerations

  1. Away from direct influences

    • Avoid placing it right next to windows, doors, vents, fans, or HVAC returns, since these create drafts and may not represent room conditions.

    • Keep it away from walls or corners, where airflow is restricted.

  2. Not too close to pollution sources (unless intentional)

    • If the goal is general indoor air quality, avoid mounting directly above a printer, stove, candle, etc.

    • If the goal is source monitoring (e.g., emissions from equipment), closer placement may be useful.

  3. Room type matters

    • Homes/offices/schools: Breathing zone placement (3–6 ft).

    • Industrial settings: Sometimes multiple monitors are placed at worker height and also near sources.
