How to use the Loopshore measuring device

Getting started with the device is easy.

Loop One measuring device mounted on a wall next to shelves.

The Loopshore device works on its own, without connecting it to a system or any other setup or installation.

• Turn the device on with the switch on its back. You will hear a beep.

• The device starts measuring right away. You will see the data in the air quality service within a few hours.

Things to consider when placing the device.

Place the device in a central spot in the room at a height of about 1.5 m. Make sure there are no windows, doors, ventilation vents or heat sources close by.

You can mount the device on a wall or place it on a surface, such as on top of a shelf.

The devices are intended for indoor use. The recommended operating range is 0°C – +40°C for Loop One and -20°C – +40°C for the other devices. You can install a device outdoors when it is protected from rain and snow in a way that still lets air flow freely. Outdoor installation and protecting the device are the user's responsibility. In freezing temperatures the devices work, but some Loop One measurements are limited to the operating ranges stated by the sensor manufacturers, and the battery does not charge. The limits are in the device manual.

The device calibrates itself automatically where possible, and otherwise its drift is statistically small. Measurement accuracy can be verified with a manual calibration if needed. About every five years, the device can be sent to us for a general service.
