FAQ: HAQ Series Air Quality Monitor
Overview:
Q. Q Is indoor air quality a problem?
Q. A Yes. Indoor air quality impacts us all regardless where
we live. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates
indoor air can have two to five times as many pollutants
as outdoor air,* meaning we spend a majority of our time
being bombarded by contaminants.
Q. Q What do you measure, and why do you
measure it?
Q. A We measure the following pollutants and allergens
because they are common, and can be drastic in their
health effects in concentrations left unchecked**:
• Particulate Matter (PM2.5) - Can cause asthma, respiratory inflammation, aggravated allergies, llung and heart
conditions, carcinogenic after long-term exposure.
• Formaldehyde (HCHO) - May cause watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing;
nausea; skin irritation.
• Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) -May cause eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; loss of coordination and
nausea; damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system.
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - May cause lack of concentration; dizziness; headache; visual and hearing dysfunction;
unconsciousness..
• Humidity - May cause skin problems; breathing issues; itchy eyes and agrivated allergic reactions.
• IQ% - Indicates the percentage of your total IQ available for use in your environment. Indicates the potential for poor
performance of advanced cognitive functions related to one or more of the other measurements. Good indication that one
of the other measurements are less than optimal.
Q. Q Who is this device designed for?
Q. A Everyone who cares about the air they breathe.
• The device is designed for all consumers who value understanding their surrounding environment. The device can be
used to provide information on various environmental factors, allergens and pollutants, along with their effect on the
consumers' cognitive abilities.
• Whether you are a busy professional who likes to be in control of your environment, a parent with children preparing for
exams or the SATs, or a manager who cares about the productivity of your top employees – the HAQ can help you make
sense of your surroundings.

- Page 1 FAQ: HAQ Series Air Quality Monitor Overview: Q. Q Is indoor air quality a problem? Q. A Yes. Indoor air quality impacts us all regardless where we live. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates indoor air can have two to five times as many pollutants as outdoor air,* meaning we spend a majority of our time being bombarded by contaminants.
- Page 2 Q. Q What is the IQ%? Q. A Honeywell developed a proprietary algorithm that can determine the percentage of IQ being used, depending on the quality of the air the person breathes. This does not refer to individual IQ, just to a percentage of total cognitive ability. It varies depending on environmental factors directly impacted by CO2, TVOC, and PM2.5 levels.
- Page 3 Q. Q When and why do I calibrate the HAQQ. Q. A The HAQ CO2 sensor is calibrated at the factory, but may drift over time. To combat this, the HAQ should be calibrated on occasion to account for the drift. Calibration involves exposing the sensor to a known gas source (outdoor air, or indoor air in an unoccupied room - both should equal approximately 400 ppm CO2).
- Page 4 Q. Q Can I use this outdoors in my balcony/ garden/ patio/ yard? Q. A Yes, again, as long as you have a sufficiently charge battery and/or a socket – the device is useable outdoors. Note though, the readings outdoors will be remarkably different from those indoors. Connectivity: Q.
- Page 5 Connect Device to Wi-Fi with smartphone app There are two ways to connect to the network: SmartLink, and AP mode. The Smartlink connection method is shown in the the following "Part 1." The duration is 50 seconds. If the connection fails, it will enter the AP mode network, as shown in the Part 2. Part 1- SmartLink 5.
- Page 6 Q. Q Where is the data collected and stored? Q. A Device data is stored securely in the Honeywell cloud. The app shows trending data for one day, or one month.. Q. Q In case of a network disturbance or once the device loses connectivity, does the device store the data? Q.
- Page 7 Q. Q How often is the device data uploaded to the cloud? Q. A The device checks in with the cloud once every minute. In energy saving mode this frequency drops to once an hour. Q. Q How long does the device’s data stay in the cloud? / What is the maximum history that can be viewed in the app? Q.
