Quick Start Quide
Follow these easy steps to start using your Ruuvi Sensor.
1. Placement
Place Ruuvi Air on a flat, stable surface such as a shelf or table (0,5-1,5 meters high). Ensure it is away from walls, corners, and tight spaces to allow proper airflow around the device. Keep vents unobstructed for accurate readings.
Avoid Disturbances
Avoid placing the device in direct airflow from AC/heat vents, fans, open windows, or doors, as well as near heat sources like radiators, ovens, or humidifiers. These can cause spikes that do not accurately reflect room air conditions.
2. Power On
Connect the USB cable to the device and to the USB power adapter, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. The sensor powers on and starts measuring automatically.
3. Adaptation
After starting up, the device begins to adapt to its surroundings. Measurements can be interpreted right away, but the values become more reliable over a longer period of time. If you move the device to a new location, give it some time to readjust.*
* Temperature, humidity, air pressure, COz, and PM measurements stabilise within minutes. The VOC sensor reaches its specified accuracy within 1 hour, and the NOx sensor within 6 hours.
4. Install the free Ruuvi Station mobile app
Download the free Ruuvi Station app for Android or iOS and follow the setup instructions. Grant Bluetooth® and location access or Nearby access if prompted. Manual Bluetooth pairing is not needed.
