Compatibility
Before installing PositiV®, it’s important to verify its compatibility with your site. Because
PositiV is a wireless, self-powered device, there are certain parameters that must be met
for it to be considered a good fit for your facility. Please review the compatibility criteria
prior to installation:
•A relatively clear line of sight and distance must be maintained between the indoor
and outdoor PositiV devices. This means minimizing the quantity of materials
between the two devices; the less material between the devices, the stronger the
signal will be. Similarly, depending on the type of material between the devices, the
distance between the indoor and outdoor devices should be less than 75 ft.
•Light levels at the indoor unit installation location should be >400 Lux and the
outdoor unit should be south facing, receiving direct sunlight.
•An Android or Apple device is required to download the PositiV Cx app from
Google Play or the App store. The app is required for configuration and calibration
of the PositiV system. The app is free to download.
•To access building health data tracked by the PositiV system, user log-in
credentials will be provided by Melink Corp to grant access to the Melink Portal.
Google Chrome is the recommended browser to access the Melink Portal.
Installation Preparation
Before beginning installation and setup, please review the Compatibility section. This will
help the installer understand what to look for when installing PositiV.
During the setup and preparation of PositiV, the installer will be unboxing, powering on
the units, and scouting installation locations. This step is expected to take about 10
minutes. The installer should become familiar with both the indoor and outdoor PositiV
units and the criteria for analyzing potential installation locations.
