Nuvap ProSystem N1 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Nuvap N1 air quality monitor and I am ready to answer your questions. This device monitors 24 different parameters including electromagnetic fields, radon gas and more, using voice and light alerts and sends data to the Nuvap App. I can explain its setup, operating modes, warnings and more.
  • What parameters does the N1 monitor?
    How does the N1 alert users about pollutants?
    What are the light signals on the N1?
    How long does the battery last?
    Can the N1 be used outdoors?
Nuvap N1 is an innovative device for monitoring the air
quality in the environments where we live.

GETTING TO KNOW N1
The contents of the box that you have just opened are the following:
N1
Kit for water analysis
Power adapter 5V
User manual
N1 is the first device specifically designed for monitoring the main
sources of indoor pollution that over time can harm the health of your
family.
Thanks to its sensors, Nuvap N1 is able to detect up to 24 different
paameters:
High and low frequency electromagnetic fields
Radon gas
Ionizing adiation
Wi-Fi
Methane (CH4)
Smoke/fire
Air quaity (H2, LPG, Alcohol, NH3, Ethanol, Toluene, CO)
Paticulate Matter
Water quaity (Chlorine, Hardness, Akainity, Ph, Nitrite and Nitate)
Noise pollution
Tempeature
Humidity

All data recorded by N1 can be viewed, at any time and wherever you
are, through Nuvap App and Nuvap Web platform.
This manual provides instructions for N1 setup and proper use.
6
In order to use N1 you need the following:
a Wi-Fi connection,
a smatphone or Android or iOS tablet,
a Nuvap account to view the measurements of your N1.
NOTE: In the absence of a Wi-Fi connection only N1 local alarm
functions can be available.

Warning: This device is designed for indoor use, like single residential
units / offices. It is not a measuring instrument and therefore cannot
be used to establish compliance according to the paameters set by
law with respect to the presence of environmental pollutants.
It does not replace professional measuring and technical suveys.

N1 must be placed in rooms where you spend most of your time (living
room, kitchen, bedroom, office), away from electromagnetic sources
such as smat phones and cordless phones, TV, appliances and away from
sources of pollution produced locally, not to impair proper opeation.
It is also not recommended the positioning of N1 in environments with a
moisture content above 80% or in the presence of a lot of dust.
N1 does not need installation or hardware. It is designed to be easily
moved around, allowing you to monitor the levels of pollutants in your
home or working environment.
N1 is equipped with a battey that allows up to 3 hours of use, so as to
be placed tempoarily for specific measures in remote areas without
power supply or in areas other than your house.
Depending on the chaacteristics of the environment that you would
like to monitor (such as, for example, ceiling height, dwelling on seveal
loors, wall thickness, etc.). N1 may not detect a significant presence of
some paameters.
For more information about the optimal placement of N1 please visit
www.nuvap.com.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
N1 is a smat device, able to communicate with you with voice
messages, light signals and NUVAP App.
N1 is progammed to give two types of voice alarm, CAUTION and
DANGER, and five types of light signals through its LEDs: green, yellow,
red, blue and violet.
In the event that N1 detects the presence of pollutants at WARNING
or DANGER levels, in addition to sound an alarm locally, the device will
send you a notification through NUVAP App and Platform at the address
http://my.nuvap.com.
Wherever you are you will be so informed in real time about the quality
of the environment that you have chosen to monitor with N1.
Types of Voice Alarm: CAUTION and DANGER
N1 emits two types of voice alarm to repot increased levels of
pollutants monitored (see § GETTING TO KNOW N1): “WARNING” alarm
and “DANGER” alarm.
The “CAUTION” alarm is intended to warn about the aising of the
levels of one or more of the pollutants monitored before they reach the
danger threshold.
In this case, N1 emits the voice message: “Presence of (name of
pollutant)”.
N1 simultaneously emits a lashing yellow light
(see § below TYPES OF LIGHT SIGNALS).
11
3
The “DANGER” alarm occurs when the level of one or more pollutants
reaches the threshold of danger. N1 will sound an alarm and the voice
message: “Danger, high level of (name of pollutant)”
N1 will simultaneously emit a lashing red light
(see § below TYPES OF LIGHT SIGNALS).
In both cases, N1 will keep repeating the voice signal alarm and the light
signal until it is deactivated by pressing the touch key on top of the
device.
You can always access NUVAP App to see all details of the
measurements made.
We suggest that you check the enty regarding the pollutant on
www.nuvap.com/en/solutions

Types of Light Signal
N1 can send out four types of light signal:
Green signal: occurs periodically, it means that the device is
functioning properly and there are no anomalies or pollutants
detected (see Ch. 3, § AUTO-TEST).
Yellow signal: occurs in case of detection of higher levels of one
or more of the pollutants monitored before they reach the danger
threshold (“CAUTION”) Simultaneously N1 emits the voice message:
“Presence of (name of pollutant)” (see § above TYPES OF VOICE ALARM:
CAUTION AND DANGER).
Red signal: occurs when the level of one or more pollutants reaches
the threshold of danger, in case of “DANGER”. N1 simultaneously
sounds the alarm and the voice message: “Danger, high presence of
(name of pollutant)” (see § above TYPES OF VOICE ALARM: CAUTION
AND DANGER).
Blue signal: warns about malfunctions, for example, problems with
Wi-Fi connection, battey, sensors.
Violet signal: indicates that punctual measurement has stated (see
ch.3 § Opeating Modes).

Environmental conditions may change over time. A reliable quality
assessment of the monitored environment requires the use of N1 in
continuous mode for a period of at least 30 consecutive days. You
will know about NUVAP QUALITY INDEX of the environment where
you live at any time through NUVAP App and Platform at
http://my.nuvap.com.
Opeating modes
N1 has three modes of opeation: continuous mode, punctual mode 1
and punctual mode 2.
After the initial Setup N1 is on continuous mode of opeation: the
device constantly analyzes the paameters and daily provides an oveall
assessment of the quality of the environment monitored, based on an
algorithm (“NUVAP QUALITY INDEX“), available through NUVAP App and
Platform at http://my.nuvap.com.
Locally, anytime, pressing N1 touch key, you will know the oveall quality
of the monitored area in the last 24 hours.
19
To switch to punctual mode of opeation, just hold down the touch
button for a few seconds until the violet led light.
On punctual modes N1 provides real-time results regarding the analysis
of the environmental quality paameters of the monitored area.
While opeating on punctual mode 1, N1 will provide you with the
current result of the analysis of the environmental quality paameters
of the monitored area: through the App, you will know the levels of all
monitored paameters «here and now», anytime and anywhere you
feel like. This mode is recommended whenever you want to monitor a
specific environment. If, for example, you placed N1 in your living room,
you can check the environmental quality of your bedroom by simply
placing the device there.
When opeating on punctual mode 2, N1 provides you, with the reading
of one sensor at a time on «live» mode, updating the data evey two
seconds and dawing a real-time gaph.
3
20
Auto-test
N1 peforms an automatic test of correct opeation at predetermined
time intevals, emitting a green light signal if there are no opeating
anomalies or presence of pollutants.
If desired, you can turn off the green light signaling through the App. In
case of detection of pollutants in the monitored area, N1 will however
emit the WARNING or DANGER alarm signal, depending on the level
found. For your safety, it is not possible to disable them via the App.
Moreover, if the test results indicate opeating anomalies such as, for
example, problems with Wi-Fi connection, battey, sensors, etc., N1 will
emit a light blue lashing signal.
