However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. | |
Ordering and shipping was good, unfortunately due to what I assume is my insufficient internet I am not able to use the unit. I would like to return it and get my money back but there is NO information about how to do this. My fault for not checking before I purchased. Very disappointed and hoping to receive a reply from customer service soon.
Hello,
We're very sorry you had a bad experience with our product. To return the device please send an email to contact@purpleair.com and we'll get the process started for you.
(EDIT: I see you have sent an email in, we'll respond to you shortly)
My sensor is working well - no complaints about the sensor itself. On the other hand, you are selling a $300 sensor with a power connector that is the least common USB plug there is. If you can't afford a 39 cent power cable, then raise the price to $301. Bozo Engineers.
Why no solar option? My weather station is going on two years with solar only. This requires much larger about of power?
I mounted the device on my shed facing north and under the eve fascia boards to protect from rain and sun exposure. Air flow around the device is good and AQI is similar to another Purple Air device quarter mile up my street. WiFi signal is strong to my router, life could not be happier. Customer support is first rate.
I modify registration from public to private and I cannot see them on the map unless I used the registration mail and only shows one by one. Nor associated email or owners email could see them as the sensors we owned.
