Ajax LifeQuality Wireless Smart Air Quality Monitor

Guarding your productivity

Poor air quality threatens health and reduces productivity. It has been proven that high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) causes apathy and drowsiness and reduces the ability to make important decisions by more than 50%.

LifeQuality is a smart air quality monitor with temperature, humidity, and CO2 sensors that helps evaluate air quality dynamics at home, in the office, workplace, or in any other space. Users get medical-grade measurement accuracy, comprehensive in-app information, and automation scenarios. An Ajax system with LifeQuality and automation devices turns on the ventilation or humidifier if the air quality indicators are differing comfortable.

Installation

• On ceiling
• On wall
• On table

Room for manoeuvre

LifeQuality is easy to carry around, so you can monitor air quality in a hotel room, a friend’s house, or even a moving car. LED indication will inform of dangerous air quality wherever you take the detector. Built-in memory allows saving measurements for up to 72 hours without communication with the hub or range extender. And when the connection is restored, all the data is sent to Ajax apps and synchronized with the charts.

• LED indication
• 72 h of the backup memory
• Detailed in-app history

Wheeze, dry throat, difficulty concentrating. Increased risks for health expected by prolonged exposure3 2500+ ppm The substantial reductions in decision-making performance

Medical-grade accuracy inside

LED indicator

There is no need to open Ajax apps to determine indoor air quality status. The LED lights up green, yellow, red, or purple depending on the CO2 level. All you need is one tap on the detector’s logo.

Enclosure

Thought–out to the smallest detail, the enclosure reflects the placement of sensors inside and has an optimal system of openings for air ventilation. Available in white or black.

Temperature and humidity sensor

SHT40 from Sensirion is a digital sensor from Swiss developers. The sensitive element is designed to work in difficult conditions, such as industrial facilities with a high condensation risk. SHT40 has a self-diagnosis mechanism and provides an accuracy of ±0.2°C for temperature and ±2% for humidity.

CO2 sensor

Sunrise by Senseair is an optical NDIR sensor designed by Swedish developers. It measures carbon dioxide in the air directly without using mathematical models. With an average consumption of 45 μA, the sensor is energy effective and guarantees a minimum of 15 years of measurements with an accuracy of ±(30 + 3%) ppm.

Batteries

Two pre-installed replaceable CR123A batteries provide up to 3 years of battery life without recharging the detector or connecting it to the mains.

SmartBracket

The mounting panel is designed to easily fix the device on a flat surface without disassembling the enclosure. The detector can be removed from the panel with one move to take it with you. A built-in accelerometer notifies if the detector has been removed from the mounting panel or changed its position.

All data at a glance

Charts

Сharts show the trend of indicators over the last hour, day, week, month, or year. Ajax Cloud server encrypts and securely stores the air quality history for up to 2 years. The data is accessible at any moment to view, track, and analyze.

Push notifications

Push notifications can be configured individually and notify only about selected microclimate indicators. The Ajax Cloud server instantly transmits the data from LifeQuality to apps, so users receive a notification once the specified microclimate threshold is exceeded.

Remote configuration

LifeQuality can be configured at any time from anywhere, as long as there is an Internet connection. It takes seconds to change the indicator threshold, configure the LED or turn on notifications.

Automation scenarios

It takes only 2 minutes to create and set up a scenario. Remotely or on-site. An automated chain of actions will work even if the system does not have access to the Internet.

Full monitoring for the building

With PRO Desktop, building admin staff can observe not only security but Ajax devices for automation and comfort. Device statuses, event log, and microclimate data — the operator has a complete picture in one intuitive interface, all informative and centralized. The installer can remotely change the settings and provide additional services according to the object specifics.

All-around installation with no wires

LifeQuality does not need recharging or plugging into a power outlet. With a 3-year battery life and no wires, the detector can be installed at any location on the wall or ceiling. Or even used inside a moving car. The batteries are replaceable, so after three years of operation the installer pops the new ones, and LifeQuality continues to operate as usual.

Advanced microclimate automation

LifeQuality is a part of the Ajax ecosystem and can interact with automation devices, users, and installers through Ajax apps. Scenarios based on LifeQuality indicators can control the microclimate in any room, giving a wide range of appliances to integrate. For example, WallSwitch will turn on heating or ventilation when the specified indicator has reached the limit, and Socket will turn off the humidifier when high humidity becomes uncomfortable.

Unique wireless technologies

• The Ajax system uses two-way secure radio communication based on Jeweller and Wings proprietary protocols. Radio protocols work in parallel and focus on their own function, guaranteeing instant data and delivery even with communication interruptions and a weak signal.
• Ajax wireless technology has up to 1,700 meters of radio signal communication range in an open space, making it on average longer than competing solutions from different manufacturers. Automatic power adjustment makes it energy efficient by not using the maximum power of radio transmitters in system devices on a regular basis. It is also more stable, using less noisy radio frequencies.

Scaled and comprehensive

The ReX 2 range extender connects to the hub via radio and Ethernet using the wire as the additional communication channel. This allows covering the most complex objects like a multi-floor office with underground parking or a warehouse with several buildings. ReX 2 avoids obstacles and interference, doubling the radio communication range. Up to 5 range extenders can operate within one Ajax system to expand the network coverage to the stadium size.

Intuitive installation and connection

LifeQuality is ready to operate straight out of the box. There is no need to disassemble the enclosure. SmartBracket mounting panel allows you to securely install the detector on any flat surface. Ajax apps help quickly make the device a part of the automated system. No need to visit the object to disable the device or change the settings.
