Introduction

This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Arpuro PM01V00LTE Indoor Industrial Dust Monitor. Following this guide will ensure optimal functionality and reliable data collection to maintain a safe and monitored environment.

Requirements

Before starting the installation, ensure you have the following items:

• Arpuro PM01V00LTE Sensor: The primary device to be installed.

• Standard DIN Rail: For mounting the sensor, it is compatible with the sensor's size and weight.

• Mounting Brackets: Signal Analysis Lab provides mounting brackets if required for securely attaching the DIN rail to the wall at an appropriate distance.

• Power Supply:

Safety precautions

• Electrical Safety: Ensure all power sources are disconnected before installation to prevent electric shock.

• Proper Handling: Handle all equipment with care to avoid damage.

• Compliance: Follow all local regulations and safety standards related to electrical installations.

Installation steps

Step 1: Choose the Installation Location

• Select a Suitable Location: Close to dust formation sources or in areas with significant personnel traffic.

• Optimal Height: Approximately 160 cm (5.25 feet) above the floor to capture particulate matter at inhalation height.

Step 2: Install the DIN rail

1. Position the DIN Rail: Place the DIN rail at the selected height and location.

2. Attach Mounting Brackets: Use mounting brackets to secure the DIN rail at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from the wall. Ensure brackets are firmly attached to the wall.

3. Secure the DIN Rail: Tighten all screws and confirm the rail is stable and level.

Step 3: Mount the meter

1. Align the Sensor: Position the Arpuro sensor onto the DIN rail.

2. Secure the Sensor:Ensure it clicks into place and is firmly attached without wobbling.

Step 4: Connect the power supply

The sensor requires a 12 V DC power supply, consuming up to 100W.

Option A: Using a 3rd party 12V DC power supply (not standard)

1. Prepare the Power Supply: Obtain a 12 V DC power supply with a 4-pin XLR connector.

2. Connect to the Sensor: Plug the 4-pin XLR connector into the corresponding port on the sensor.

3. Connect to Power Source: Plug the power supply into a suitable mains outlet.

Option B: Using a SAL provided 230V AC/DC power adapter (Standard)

1. Mount the Converter: Secure the provided 230V to 12V DC converter to the wall near the sensor.

2. Connect Converter to Sensor: Use the output from the converter to connect to the sensor's 4-pin XLR port.

3. Connect Converter to Power Source: Plug the converter into a standard 230V AC outlet (Schuko CEE 7/4).

Step 5: Establish network connectivity

• Primary Connectivity (LTE-M): The sensor uses cellular communication, i.e., LTE-M, requiring no additional configuration in most cases.

• Alternative Options: If LTE-M reception is poor or unavailable, the sensor can be configured to use LoRaWAN or Wi-Fi. Contact Signal Analysis Lab before order support for assistance with alternative network configurations. Extra cost will apply.

Step 6: Final checks and testing

1. Verify Installation: Ensure all components are securely mounted and connections are tight.

2. Power On the Sensor: Check for indicator lights or display messages that confirm the sensor is operational.

3. Test Network Connectivity: Verify that the sensor is connecting to the network and transmitting data accurately. See below on how to access the Arpuro platform.

4. Document the Installation: Record installation details, including location, date, and any configurations made.

Accessing the data
