Setup and configuration

Power the device

The AirVisual Outdoor uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the monitor. Power is supplied with the provided 48V PoE power adapter and either of the two included Ethernet power cables.

When used in outdoor areas, the supplied PoE power adapter is to be installed in a dry spot where no water can reach the power adapter or use a power outlet with a weatherproof enclosure. When the PoE power adapter is connected indoors, the Ethernet cable should be routed through a wall or window feed-through.

LAN PoE PoE

Plug the power adapter into a power outlet and the status LED will turn red. Connect the Ethernet cable to the AirVisual Outdoor Ethernet port and to the PoE marked port of the power adapter. The status LED of the PoE power adapter will turn green.

The LAN marked port will not power the monitor. The LAN port on the power adapter can be used to connect the device to the Internet. Refer to "Connecting to the IQAir cloud platform."

Instead of the supplied PoE power adapter you can use a PoE Ethernet switch (IEEE-802.3af capable). If you need a longer cable, PoE can power the AirVisual Outdoor up to a distance up of 80m / 262ft. Use a shielded CAT7 UV resistant Ethernet cable.

When initially connected to power, the AirVisual Outdoor will turn on and display a red status LED — indicating the device is not connected to a network.

Data connectivity options

The AirVisual Outdoor can be networked to the IQAir data cloud where current and historic air quality data may be viewed on the IQAir AirVisual mobile app or on the IQAir web dashboard. Three network connectivity options are available. The device features Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity. A 4G cellular connection is possible with an optional 4G USB modem stick and SIM card with an active data plan.

The most suitable choice of cloud connection will depend on the following:

- Do you have a reliable Wi-Fi signal at the installation location? This would make a Wi-Fi connection suitable.

- Do you have access to an Ethernet outlet? This would make an Ethernet connection suitable.

- If neither Ethernet nor Wi-Fi connection is available, then a mobile 4G cellular network connection may be the best way to connect your AirVisual Outdoor to the IQAir cloud. Please note that the AirVisual Outdoor generates about 35 MB in monthly data.

Connection with Ethernet or cellular 4G USB modem establishes the connection automatically. Wi-Fi setup requires a few steps. Simply follow the instructions from the IQAir AirVisual app.
