Step 3 - Placement
Your View device can be placed
wherever you want to measure
your air quality, such as your
night stand, on the wall in the
baby room, or on a shelf in the
living room. It should be kept
away from very dusty
environments, and performs
best if cleaned with a dry or
damp cloth once in a while. View
Plus and View Radon should be
kept out of damp environments
above 85% humidity to avoid
damage to the radon sensor.
To mount your View on a wall: Fix
the mounting bracket to the wall.
Make sure you use appropriate
screws for your wall type. Do not
place it close to vents or
windows. Minimum 1 meter / 3
feet distance.
Step 4 - Calibration
Some sensors will need time,
usually around a week, to
calibrate after power-up. See
more details in the product sheet
for your device.
The various sensors have
dierent sample rates (how
often it records a data point) and
accuracy. The radon sensor in
particular is built for long-term
monitoring. Although you can
read the early data samples, they
are likely to be inaccurate. Radon
will often vary signicantly from
day to day, and even month to
month. Buildings can be
diagnosed for radon by
measuring all living areas - e.g.,
living rooms and bedrooms - for
at least one week. For a more
accurate value, this should be
followed by a long-term
measurement (for at least 2
months) in the room with the
highest radon value.
