CFLOAT BENEFITS

The cFloat Home takes indoor measurements. It monitors the air temperature, humidity, and air pressure. This data will help you maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home and assist you in saving energy and money. The cFloat Home monitors indoor air quality to assist you in preserving a healthy and safe environment.

WIRELESS CHARGING

The cFloat Home charges devices by induction. You just need to place your Qi enabled smartphone or other device on top of the cFloat Home – no need for charging cables.

MEET YOUR CFLOAT HOME

CFLOAT HOME MONITORING SYSTEM

The cFloat Home System provides the following measurements:

  • Air Quality
  • Humidity
  • Atmospheric Pressure
  • Air Temperature

MEET YOUR CFLOAT HOME

THE CFLOAT APP

The cFloat App is a modern and easy-to-use application that displays the data collected by the cFloat Home. The information is accessible in real-time on your connected devices. With the cFloat App you can monitor your home environment and manage settings. You can use the cFloat App on iOS and Android devices.

CFLOAT HOME SYSTEM SETUP

STEP 1 - PLUG IN THE CFLOAT HOME

Place the cFloat Home in a room with reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. Connect the USB cable provided to the cFloat Home; then connect the cable into the power adapter provided. Plug the power adapter into an electrical wall outlet.
NOTE: To avoid variations in system performance, it is recommended that you use the cFloat Home USB cable and power adapter that were provided to you.

STEP 2 - DOWNLOAD THE CFLOAT APP AND INSTALL THE SYSTEM

The free cFloat App is available in the Apple Store and on Google Play. Download it onto your smartphone or tablet, create an account and set up the system following the cFloat App instructions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MONITORING

Selecting the ‘Monitoring’ menu option allows you to see the measurements recorded by the cFloat Home. The Charts option at the bottom of the screen will allow you to see daily, weekly, or monthly historical data. When there is a firmware upgrade available an update flag will appear in the upper right corner. Click to activate the firmware update process.

SETTINGS

Selecting the ‘Settings’ menu option allows you to make changes to your cFloat Home System configuration settings:

  • Network: View or change your network connection.
  • Units: Select either metric or imperial units.
  • Manage Systems: View, Rename or Delete your system.
  • Notifications: Manage your notifications settings.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR CFLOAT

To clean the exterior of the cFloat Home, first unplug the cord and then wipe the surface with a soft cloth. If necessary, and the surface is particularly dirty, after cleaning up the dust, you can use rubbing alcohol. Do not spray the rubbing alcohol directly onto the cFloat Home. Clean the cFloat Home with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

RESETTING YOUR CFLOAT

There are some situations where you might want to restart or reset your cFloat. Manually restarting cFloat is similar to turning off a computer instead of shutting it down. If you manually turn off and restart your cFloat System, you could lose some unsaved information. Consequently, we only recommend a manual restart if the cFloat system has become unresponsive.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

The cFloat System can be monitored with several different devices. The cFloat App can be installed on your smartphone, tablet, and AppleTV.

SERVICE AND SUPPORT

The cFloat System contains no parts that the user can repair. If your cFloat needs servicing, contact the cFloat Support Team by sending an email to: support@cfloat.info

RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL

Dispose of your cFloat in accordance with all applicable local regulations. cFloat must be disposed of separately from general household waste. When cFloat reaches its end of life, take it to a designated waste collection center in your area for safe disposal and recycling. This action will help conserve natural resources and protect human health and the environment. By properly disposing of the cFloat System, you are helping to prevent harmful consequences for the environment and human health that could result from inappropriate treatment of the product.

ABOUT CFLOAT MEASUREMENTS

INDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE

Home temperature monitoring ensures the comfort and safety of families, and the protection of home and valuables from damage, no matter how extreme the season is. Whether for health and allergen benefits, preventing burst water pipes, or protecting fine wines, a home temperature monitor eliminates unnecessary concerns by giving homeowners control of thermostats and temperature levels.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

The air has weight, and it presses against everything it has contact with. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of measurement equal to the average air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). One atmosphere is 1,013 millibars, or 29.92 inches (760 millimeters) of mercury.

As altitude increases air pressure drops. In Denali, Alaska, the air pressure is about half of air pressure on Honolulu, Hawai'i. Denali is the highest peak in North America, and Honolulu is a city at sea level.

HUMIDITY

Knowing your home’s humidity level is essential to improving indoor air quality and the overall health and comfort of your home. To ensure your home’s air quality, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests maintaining proper indoor relative humidity (RH) levels to reduce the effects of many unwanted conditions associated with poor indoor air quality. Relative humidity is the ratio of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a particular temperature.

AIR QUALITY (TVOC AND ECO2)

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality inside and around houses, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of residents. Monitoring common indoor pollutants can help reduce the risk of indoor health concerns. Health effects from poor indoor air quality may be experienced immediately after exposure or years later.

  • ‘Second-hand smoke’ from tobacco smoking containing noxious substances
  • CO, CO₂, and methane from combustion appliances, cookers, boilers, open fires, and portable heaters

The cFloat Air Quality Sensor monitors the presence of VOCs in the room where the cFloat Home is installed and will alert the user to the presence of a high level of toxic elements in the air that could be reduced by providing more ventilation to that room.
