Deployment
Now that your air pollution monitor is fully configured, you should be ready to deploy the device!
Case advice
The case we selected for our devices can be found on the 'Case' page of the hardware overview.
However, feel free to purchase a different case or design your own. SolidWorks files for most of the hardware we used are provided in the Extra Info section, to help with designing custom cases.
Just remember that your case should:
Protect the electronics from water and dust
Allow mounting of the device on-site
Allow air to reach the PM sensor(s)
Prevent the electronics from overheating
Hold the electronics securely inside the case
Location selection
An ideal deployment location will fulfill the following criteria:
In a region of interest for air pollution
Out of direct sunlight
Within range of a LoRa gateway
Within range of WiFi
Close to a power source
Secure mounting points
Able to receive GPS signals
