INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
N1 is a smat device, able to communicate with you with voice
messages, light signals and NUVAP App.
N1 is progammed to give two types of voice alarm, CAUTION and
DANGER, and five types of light signals through its LEDs: green, yellow,
red, blue and violet.
In the event that N1 detects the presence of pollutants at WARNING
or DANGER levels, in addition to sound an alarm locally, the device will
send you a notification through NUVAP App and Platform at the address
http://my.nuvap.com.
Wherever you are you will be so informed in real time about the quality
of the environment that you have chosen to monitor with N1.
Types of Voice Alarm: CAUTION and DANGER
N1 emits two types of voice alarm to repot increased levels of
pollutants monitored (see § GETTING TO KNOW N1): “WARNING” alarm
and “DANGER” alarm.
The “CAUTION” alarm is intended to warn about the aising of the
levels of one or more of the pollutants monitored before they reach the
danger threshold.
In this case, N1 emits the voice message: “Presence of (name of
pollutant)”.
N1 simultaneously emits a lashing yellow light
(see § below TYPES OF LIGHT SIGNALS).
11
3
The “DANGER” alarm occurs when the level of one or more pollutants
reaches the threshold of danger. N1 will sound an alarm and the voice
message: “Danger, high level of (name of pollutant)”
N1 will simultaneously emit a lashing red light
(see § below TYPES OF LIGHT SIGNALS).
In both cases, N1 will keep repeating the voice signal alarm and the light
signal until it is deactivated by pressing the touch key on top of the
device.
You can always access NUVAP App to see all details of the
measurements made.
We suggest that you check the enty regarding the pollutant on
www.nuvap.com/en/solutions

Types of Light Signal
N1 can send out four types of light signal:
• Green signal: occurs periodically, it means that the device is
functioning properly and there are no anomalies or pollutants
detected (see Ch. 3, § AUTO-TEST).
• Yellow signal: occurs in case of detection of higher levels of one
or more of the pollutants monitored before they reach the danger
threshold (“CAUTION”) Simultaneously N1 emits the voice message:
“Presence of (name of pollutant)” (see § above TYPES OF VOICE ALARM:
CAUTION AND DANGER).
• Red signal: occurs when the level of one or more pollutants reaches
the threshold of danger, in case of “DANGER”. N1 simultaneously
sounds the alarm and the voice message: “Danger, high presence of
(name of pollutant)” (see § above TYPES OF VOICE ALARM: CAUTION
AND DANGER).
• Blue signal: warns about malfunctions, for example, problems with
Wi-Fi connection, battey, sensors.
• Violet signal: indicates that punctual measurement has stated (see
ch.3 § Opeating Modes).

Environmental conditions may change over time. A reliable quality
assessment of the monitored environment requires the use of N1 in
continuous mode for a period of at least 30 consecutive days. You
will know about NUVAP QUALITY INDEX of the environment where
you live at any time through NUVAP App and Platform at
http://my.nuvap.com.
Opeating modes
N1 has three modes of opeation: continuous mode, punctual mode 1
and punctual mode 2.
After the initial Setup N1 is on continuous mode of opeation: the
device constantly analyzes the paameters and daily provides an oveall
assessment of the quality of the environment monitored, based on an
algorithm (“NUVAP QUALITY INDEX“), available through NUVAP App and
Platform at http://my.nuvap.com.
Locally, anytime, pressing N1 touch key, you will know the oveall quality
of the monitored area in the last 24 hours.
19
To switch to punctual mode of opeation, just hold down the touch
button for a few seconds until the violet led light.
On punctual modes N1 provides real-time results regarding the analysis
of the environmental quality paameters of the monitored area.
While opeating on punctual mode 1, N1 will provide you with the
current result of the analysis of the environmental quality paameters
of the monitored area: through the App, you will know the levels of all
monitored paameters «here and now», anytime and anywhere you
feel like. This mode is recommended whenever you want to monitor a
specific environment. If, for example, you placed N1 in your living room,
you can check the environmental quality of your bedroom by simply
placing the device there.
When opeating on punctual mode 2, N1 provides you, with the reading
of one sensor at a time on «live» mode, updating the data evey two
seconds and dawing a real-time gaph.
3
20
Auto-test
N1 peforms an automatic test of correct opeation at predetermined
time intevals, emitting a green light signal if there are no opeating
anomalies or presence of pollutants.
If desired, you can turn off the green light signaling through the App. In
case of detection of pollutants in the monitored area, N1 will however
emit the WARNING or DANGER alarm signal, depending on the level
found. For your safety, it is not possible to disable them via the App.
Moreover, if the test results indicate opeating anomalies such as, for
example, problems with Wi-Fi connection, battey, sensors, etc., N1 will
emit a light blue lashing signal.
3
21
3
Manual Opeating Test
Under normal functioning, N1 periodically emits a green light signal.
If you turned off the green light signal via the App, we suggest you to
run a weekly test of the proper functioning of your N1.
Press the touch button and N1 will respond with a voice message “No
pollutants detected in the monitored area” and a green light signal will
appear.
Reset
You can reset N1 by easing all settings.
This opeation may be necessay, for example, in case of changes in
your Wi-Fi network (network name and/or password change, modem
replacement) or when moving into a new home or office.
You cannot reset through NUVAP App. To reset and ease all data and
settings of your N1, you must peform the following steps:
• Press and hold down the touch button until N1 will emit a sound and
a blue light signal (about 20 seconds). Then release the button.
• After a few seconds N1 will stat working again, ready for a new
configuation.
• After resetting you must repeat the initial setup
(as detailed in Ch.3 § SETUP - Getting Stated).

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
When cleaning the product, do not spay water or detergent directly
on its suface. The direct spaying of water or detergent can cause fire,
electric shock, damage to the product suface or removal of warning
labels.
Do not apply chemicals containing alcohol, solvents or sufactants such
as wax, benzene, thinners, pesticides, air freshener, lubricant or soap.
These chemicals can cause discoloation or cacking of the fame or
label removal.
Clean the product with a soft cloth, such as microfiber or cotton lannel,
to avoid damaging the suface. Shake the cloth before using it to clean
the product as residues may scatch its sufaces.
Use a clean sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of
nonabasive detergent and a few drops of warm water; then wipe with a
soft, dy cloth.
23

Life of N1
N1 has a limited life as any device equipped with sensors. N1 is designed
to opeate for a period of about 4 years, in conditions of normal use and
properly kept. At the expiy of this period, some of the sensors may no
longer work properly. Get in touch with Nuvap Suppot to continue to
have a complete and reliable control of the quality of the place where
you live.
You can check the date of first use of your N1 at any time through
NUVAP App or the Platform.
Backup Battey
In case of electric power interruption, N1 will continue to function for a
maximum of 8 hours thanks to its backup battey. The included battey
is a rechargeable lithium battey with autonomy up to 3 hours without
power and in conditions of normal use. It cannot be replaced and its
life is the same as N1 (see following § “LIFE OF N1”). In case of battey
malfunctioning, N1 will emit a blue signal.
24
Unauthorized repair work may invalidate your product waranty.
After the first 24 hours of opeation in continuous mode, NUVAP N1 will
release the first repot on the quality of the monitored environment,
available through NUVAP App and Platform.
The activation of sevices in the Web platform and the use of data for
longer than 24 hours, such as to allow N1 to release at least a first repot
on Environmental Quality, will determine an initial wear of the device, as
sensors will have to be calibated for that specific environment.

Opeating imits
• N1 was designed to be used in an indoor environment, home or
office. It is not suitable for monitoring vey large areas. Please note
that, in case of installation of N1 in common areas, any voice warning
signals may not be heard inside individual apatment units and/or
offices.
• N1 is NOT a measuring instrument and therefore cannot be used to
establish compliance with the paameters of the law with respect to
the presence of environmental pollutants. It is not a substitute for
professional measuring and technical suveys.
• N1 should not be considered a substitute for a complete alarm
detection of pollutants in places that are home to large numbers of
people, such as residential hotels and dormitories. In these situations
it is advisable to equip each area to be monitored with a N1 device.
• DO NOT use N1 inside warehouses, industrial or commercial sites,
non-residential buildings in geneal. N1 was designed specifically
for use in homes or working environments and may not ensure the
reliability of detection for applications in other fields.
• Should you need to tanspot N1 by plane, please check with the
vector the existence of specific rules.
• The alarm signal may not be heard by all the people in the home.
29
5
• People with impaired hearing may not hear the alarms emitted by N1
even if near the device. For these people specific alarm devices are
suggested.
• N1 may not detect the presence of pollutants if it was not removed
from its packaging.
• N1 might not detect the presence of pollutants if these do not reach
its detection ange. N1 therefore may not indicate the presence of
pollutants in all areas of the home or office monitored.
• • N1 is not able to intevene in any way on the presence of pollutants
in the environment being monitored. ALWAYS verify the existence of
potential problems in your home or in your office after an alarm sent
out by N1. Othewise, you may run into health problems.
• • SAFE TEMPERATURE: N1 should be used in tempeatures between
-5 ° C (25 ° F) and 40 ° C (105 ° F).
• • NOTIFICATION through NUVAP App: a Wi-Fi connection is required
in order to receive notifications from N1 through NUVAP App on
smat phones or PC/tablet. Therefore timeliness and reliability
of notifications depend on the quality of your Wi-Fi network and
they cannot in any circumstances be construed as a substitute for
emergency monitoring sevice provided by third paties.
• • N1 can in no way guaantee to save the lives of those who are in the
monitored area. This depends on factors beyond the adoption of N1.
