Cellular Data Connectivity
If you plan to connect your Awair Omni devices to a cellular network, set up your Cellular Gateway Router before you begin the installation and onboarding process.
WiFi Data Connectivity
If you plan to connect your Awair Omni devices to a corporate or high-security WiFi network, use this guide to prepare your WiFi network to connect to Awair’s servers before you begin the installation and onboarding process.

Take the Awair Omni Backpack from your In-Wall Mount Kit and attach it to the back of the Surface Mount as shown.

|
|
|
When determining where to mount your device, choose a wall location between 3 to 6 feet from the ground (90 centimeters to 1.8 meters high) and at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from operable windows, air filters, and fresh air diffusers.*
*In areas where this is impossible, center your device between windows and place your monitor closer to air returns than air diffusers.

|
|
Your In-Wall Mount can be installed into drywall or over top of an existing electrical box. Follow the instructions below that correspond with your chosen installation method.
|
|
|
1. Locate the metal Gang Plate provided in the In-Wall Mount Kit. Hold the Gang Plate up to the wall where you’d like to mount your device to serve as a stencil. Use your pencil to mark the location of the four “E” screw holes and trace along the inside edge of the 43mm by 55mm rectangular cut out.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create an incision along the penciled line using your drywall cutting tool. There should be 2 inches of clearance behind the incision for your mount to extend back into the wall.
3. Use your power drill and 2mm drill bit to create four holes at the marked screw hole locations.
4. Gently hammer the drywall anchors into the holes with your mallet.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Line up the Gang Plate with your Drywall anchors and mount it to the wall using provided Drywall Screws.
6. Place the Gang Plate Cover over the Gang Plate.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Run a Cat 5e (or greater) Ethernet cable from your PoE Switch, through the drywall incision, and into the Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector) on the Awair Omni Backpack.
|
|
|
Low-Voltage Wiring
To power your device via low-voltage wiring, run electrical wires (16-gauge or smaller) from your low voltage transformer, through the drywall incision, and into the corresponding terminals on the Awair Omni Backpack.
*If you do not have expertise in this area, please do not handle live wires and consult an electrician before attempting installation.

|
|
1. Align the screw holes on your In-Wall Mount with the four cylindrical Gang Plate pegs that extend out from the wall. Fit your In-Wall Mount over top so that the Awair Omni Backpack disappears behind the wall and the back of the In-Wall Mount is flush with the Gang Plate Cover.
2. Use the Gang Plate Screws provided in your In-Wall Mount Kit to secure the In-Wall Mount to the Gang Plate and Gang Plate Cover.

|
|
With the inside (concave surface) facing you, for cellular data connectivity, make sure that the Mode Selection Switch is pointing at 1 (LoRa/Gateway). For WiFi, use your 2mm Flathead Screwdriver to rotate the Mode Selection Switch toward 0 (Power Only).
|
|
|
1. Attach your Awair Omni Air Quality Monitor to your In-Wall Mount. Press and hold the power button on the right side of the device until the Awair logo appears on the display. Your Data Mode selection will appear momentarily, and the status light will continue to blink until the device is connected to Awair’s servers.
2. If you’d like to lock your Awair Omni device into the In-Wall Mount, use your 2mm Hex Screwdriver to screw the Security Screws (found in the Surface Mount Kit) into the holes on the right and left side of the In-Wall Mount, as pictured.
