Frequently Asked Questions - NWS01EC NETATMO

How to install the Netatmo NWS01EC weather station?

Connect the indoor module to the mains adapter via the USB cable. Insert 4 AAA batteries into the outdoor module. Connect your iPhone or computer to the indoor module using the supplied cable for initial setup via the Netatmo app or the my.netatmo.com website.

Why are outdoor measurements not appearing?

Check that the outdoor module batteries are charged and that it flashes green when inserted. Ensure the distance between the two modules is not too large and that no thick obstacle (concrete wall) blocks the radio signal.

What do the colors on the indoor module mean?

During a measurement on demand, the module briefly lights up in green (good air quality), yellow (could be better) or red (air needs renewal) to indicate the CO2 level.

How to reset the station's Wi-Fi connection?

If the Wi-Fi password has changed, the station loses connection. To fix it, follow the link provided in the app or consult the online manual to restart the Wi-Fi configuration.

How does the station measure CO2 concentration?

The CO2 sensor uses an optical method: an infrared bulb emits light, partially absorbed by CO2. A receiver measures the received light and deduces the concentration. This measurement is independent of ambient light.

What are the conditions for accurate temperature measurement?

Avoid direct sunlight on the modules and heat sources (like frequent lighting of the indoor module). The displayed feels-like temperature combines the wind chill effect and humidity (Humidex).

How to read atmospheric pressure on the station?

The station displays pressure at mean sea level (corrected for altitude). Altitude is determined by GPS during setup with an iPhone, or can be entered manually in settings.

What to do if the station shows no measurements?

Check the power supply of the indoor module (it should blink blue), the Wi-Fi signal strength, and Internet access. If the Wi-Fi password has changed, reconfigure the connection.

What are the station notifications for?

Notifications alert you in case of high CO2 (>1000 ppm), frost risk (outdoor temperature ≤3°C), pressure drop (>2 mbar/h), low indoor temperature (<10°C) or humidity rise (>20% in a short time).

How to display measurement curves?

From the dashboard, turn your iPhone to landscape mode to access the curves. Use a pinch gesture to zoom in/out and swipe to explore past data.

USER MANUAL NWS01EC NETATMO

Version 1 / September 2012

Outdoor air quality index

The outdoor Australian Air Quality index AQI is displayed on the outdoor dashboard.

This index is available through air quality monitoring stations in New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria.

Complementary information

By touching on the "... button in the air quality gauge, you can display complementary information such as the main pollutant.

Australian AQI Colors

This color code scale makes it easier to understand air quality at a glance.

Understanding the Australian AQI

The Australian AQI is divided into six categories:

"Very good" AQI is 0 - 33.

"Good" AQI is 34 - 66.

"Fair" AQI is 67 - 99.

"Poor" AQI is 100 - 149.

"Very poor" AQI is 150 - 199.

"Hazardous" AQI higher than 200.

Details about AQL calculation are provided by the official authorities for New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.

Where does the Australian AQI come from?

The Australian air quality index is provided in New South Wales by the Office of Environment and Heritage NSW, in South Australia by the Environment Protection Authority SA, in Victoria by the Environment Protection Authority VIC and in Queensland by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection QLD.

Air Quality (China US embassy)

Outdoor air quality index

The outdoor Air Quality Index AQI is displayed on the outdoor dashboard.

This index is made available by the US embassy's air quality monitoring stations.

Complementary information

By touching on the "... button in the air quality gauge, you can display complementary information (when available): main pollutant, hour and location of the report.

AQI colors

This color code scale makes it easier for anyone to understand quickly whether air pollution is reaching unhealthy levels in their communities. For example, the orange color means that conditions are "unhealthy for sensitive groups," while the red color means that conditions may be "unhealthy for everyone," and so on.

Understanding the AQI

The AQI is divided into six categories:

"Good" AQI is 0 - 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.

"Moderate" AQI is 51 - 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms.

"Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" AQI is 101 - 150. Although general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range, people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone, whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air.

"Unhealthy" AQI is 151 - 200. Everyone may begin to experience some adverse health effects, and members of the sensitive groups may experience more serious effects.

"Very Unhealthy" AQI is 201 - 300. This would trigger a health alert signifying that everyone may experience more serious health effects.

"Hazardous" AQI higher than 300. This would trigger a health warning of emergency condition. The entire population is then more likely to be affected.

Where does the outdoor AQI come from?

The AQI in China is provided by the United States Embassy in Beijing. More information can be found here.

Air pollution colors

This color code scale makes it easier for anyone to understand quickly whether the air is polluted.

Understanding the Air Pollution Index

The Air Pollution Index is divided into seven categories:

"Excellent" Air Pollution Index is 0 - 50. No health implications.

"Good" Air Pollution Index is 51 - 100. No health implications.

"Slowly Polluted" Air Pollution Index is 101 - 150. Slight irritations may occur, individuals with breathing or heart problems should reduce outdoor activities.

"Lightly Polluted" Air Pollution Index is 151 - 200. Slight irritations may occur, individuals with breathing or heart problems should reduce outdoor activities.

"Moderately Polluted" Air Pollution Index is 201 - 250. Healthy people will be noticeably affected. People with breathing or heart problems will experience reduced endurance in activities. These individuals and elders should remain indoor and restrict activities.

"Heavily Polluted" Air Pollution Index is 251 - 300. Healthy people will be noticeably affected. People with breathing or heart problems will experience reduced endurance in activities. These individuals and elders should remain indoor and restrict activities.

"Severely Polluted" Air Pollution Index higher than 300. Healthy people will experience reduced endurance in activities. There may be strong irritations and symptoms and this may trigger other illnesses. Elders and the sick should remain indoor and avoid exercise. Healthy individuals should avoid outdoor activities.

Where does the outdoor Air Pollution Index come from?
