-The Weatherduino - Air Quality Monitor its a very simple to build device, suited to measure PM2.5 and PM10 air dust particles.\\
-Based on the PM2.5 readings, and in accordance with EPA standards the Air Quality Index is computed by using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NowCast_(air_quality_index)|Nowcast]] functions implemented on the software.\\
-Currently, two models of dust particles sensors are supported:
-  * [[http://aqicn.org/sensor/pms5003-7003/|PMS7003]], from the well reputed brand [[http://www.plantower.com/en/content/?110.html|Plantower]].<sup>1)</sup>

+**NOTE: This device was replaced by the [[:air_quality_monitor_iii|]]**
+The WeatherDuino Air Quality Monitor it very simple to build, and enables the user to measure PM2.5 and PM10 dust particles which are important measures of air pollution.\\
+Based on the PM2.5 readings, and in accordance with EPA standards the Air Quality Index is computed by using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NowCast_(air_quality_index)|Nowcast]] functions implemented in the WeatherDuino software.\\
+Currently, two models of dust particle sensors are supported:
+  * [[http://aqicn.org/sensor/pms5003-7003/|PMS7003]], from the well known brand [[http://www.plantower.com/en/content/?110.html|Plantower]].<sup>1)</sup>
   * [[http://aqicn.org/sensor/sds011|Nova SDS011]] made by [[http://www.inovafitness.com/en/a/chanpinzhongxin/95.html|Inovafitness]].
-Through the use of an optional [[http://www.winsen-sensor.com/d/files/infrared-gas-sensor/mh-z19b-co2-ver1_0.pdf|MH-Z19]] sensor, the Air Quality Monitor can also be used to monitor CO2 levels in a room, greenhouse or outside.<sup>3)</sup>\\

-The AQM (Air Quality Monitor) device can work in two different modes. Both modes can work simultaneously.
-  * Work like a transmitter unit, providing WeatherDuino weather stations<sup>2)</sup>   with Air Quality data, which by turn can be uploaded to WU, Thingspeak or even to your own server for SQL storage.
+  * First, as a transmitter to a WeatherDuino weather station<sup>2)</sup>   with Air Quality data, which can, in turn, be uploaded to WU, [[http://www.meteocercal.info/forum/Thread-Air-Quality-Monitor-How-to-upload-data-to-ThingSpeak|ThingSpeak]] or even to your own server for storage in a SQL database.
-  * Work as an independent device, that could be used by anyone, no matter have or not an WeatherDuino weather station.
+  * Second, as an independent device that could be used by anyone, whether they have a WeatherDuino weather station or not.
+In the Assembly Guide / Hints section below, we will explain how to set-up the AQM for each mode of use.

+  * Always buy the PMS7003 sensor with the adapter cable included.
+  * There are two versions of the MH-Z19 sensor, preferably choose the MH-Z19B version.
+The Air Quality Monitor should be installed in a well-ventilated area outside the house, not exposed directly to elements such as rain, or direct sunlight.\\
+A  porch or a balcony is a good place to install it.\\
+Choose an enclosure suitable for the environmental conditions where the AQM will be installed. If exposed to rain, the enclosure should be waterproof but allow air circulation.\\
