Hello, I am Koh Sasaki. I live in Tokyo, 250 km from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
My A3 model is the first in Japan, and a total of three stations are installed.
I thought that I would like to join the network in April and finally installed A3 in July.
I started test operation on July 12th and have just started operation on outdoor on July 16th.
A3 is placed in a weatherproof plastic box.

Hi Terje,

Please see the diagram attached for the A3 enclosure sizes.

The unit comes with a 9V 1A adapter. The device, depending on connectivity model, uses about 1W, so at 9V the current is +/- 110mA.
A3 can be powered with any voltage between 6V and 28V thanks to its internal high efficiency converter.

I thought I would brag a little!

I got my Model D yesterday in the mail (Seattle WA). Things have been great with it. I have taken it around my office (Microsoft) to see how the VOC and PM 2.5 as well as show off to a few people. The Radiation sensors align with other devices I have as well.

I am glad that the team decided to wait a little longer to ship a great product. It is amazing to see the progress that has been made to get it to us early backers. I am excited for the future as these devices become more popular and mainstream.

Maybe someone should try to get a HoloLens and Model D to work together! I would love to see current environmental readings while using AR.

Thanks Radu and team!

The script looks great.

Would it be possible to adapt it to the A3 model?

Also – as I suppose the script does download the data locally. Is it possible to download those data from the uradmonitor server including the credentials in the script?

Hi,

Mike from Auckland, NZ. I’m the now proud owner of unit 8200006E (model A3) that has just come online. Background is software dev and in spare time anything to do with gadgets and home automation. I’ve been having fun recently building up as many sensors as I can from the standard weather and home automation ones to lightning, earthquake, pool ph/tds/orp/temp, ADS-B for flight tracking and now the collection of sensors now online from the A3. Not sure what I’ll go for next.

cheers

Hi Guys, sorry for the slow reply.

A new hardware revision of the A3 model (v105) comes with a noise pollution sensor. This cannot be used to record voice, as it is limited to just a few samples per minute (Voice goes in the kHz range, that means a few thousands of samples per second).

The noise pollution is a critical issue in cities, affecting life quality directly, this is why we need to address it as well.

as for the other questions:
“The Homepage shows Voice as Chooseable Sensor but no Data.”
The option is called “Noise”, not voice.
The selector is generic and it applies to the entire network, regardless of the those that don’t have a particular parameter (those will appear as black squares).

“Wy is the Option shown if there is no such Sensor in my Device?”
Later A3 devices will all have the noise pollution sensor. The option was added in software, however older A3 units won’t be able to serve this data.

Hi Jan-Peter,

I have the Model A and it does not have the VOC (Volatile Organic Compound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_organic_compound) option, but other models do (shown in colorful circles on the map in screen shot below). My take is that while some of us do not have all the available sensors, the map choices reflect all of them so we can all see the data of those who do have multiple sensors in their units.
