Enter your 16 digit registration code into the provided box then click , AirQ will
ask you to confirm your serial number is correct click YES if the
information is correct.
Topas & Osiris Environmental Monitor 12
There are three types of methods of communicating with your dust monitors to the
AirQ software, they are as follows:-
• Direct connection via a PC link
• GSM modem connection
• Webserver connection
http://www.turnkey-instruments.com/images/
documents/USB-Driver-Install.pdf
Once the drivers have been successfully installed the com port that the usb link lead
has been assigned to should be determined. Hold the windows key and pause key
simultaneously, this will then display “system properties” click the “hardware tab”
then “device manager tab”, then double click “ports (COM & LPT)”.
13 Training Manual
If the drivers have been successfully installed the usb serial port(com #) should be
seen i.e. if for example the usb lead has been installed to com6, this number should
match the set up screen in AirQ.
5.1 AirQ Set up screen: With your PC link connected to the local interface, launch
AirQ, this will automatically detect the correct communication port and
show the serial number of your dust monitor. Select the serial number i.e.
TNO2183 in this case.
Topas & Osiris Environmental Monitor 14
To up-load any result from the units memory click the upload button, AirQ will
display getting sample #n and count down until all samples have been uploaded.

Press REMOVE to disconnect the instrument once finished in the COMMS window.
Questions:
6. TRAINING EXERCISE
A good training exercise before site installation is to run the Topas or Osiris in
an office or laboratory, a preferable period is a week. On downloading data and
creating real time graphs movements in the room can be mapped, sampling while
the monitor is close can also be advantageous for ensuring the correct functionality
of all settings.
Questions:
23 Training Manual
7.1 Inlet Assembly: Insert the heated inlet pipe into the metal inlet shroud from
inside the LPB.
The inlet pipe will self-locate to intrude into the gauze head, you can remove this
head if it makes it easier.
7.2 Osiris Assembly: Looking at the Osiris the correct way up you will find silver
allen key grub screws in each top corner (shown left), TWO GRUB
SCREWS are in each hole, remove these using the allen key supplied in the
yellow Turnkey case (keep safe).
The image below shows how to connect the heated inlet to an Osiris and GSM modem.
Topas & Osiris Environmental Monitor 24
7.3 Lamp Post Box Installation: The LPB is designed to be strapped to any post,
preferably using a banding tool and straps, if using straps please remove
the inlet pipe while banding box. Please read instructions provided with
the banding tool. You can also bolt or screw the LPB to a wall or wooden
post.
7.4 Removing & Repositioning Osiris after calibration: When removing the
Osiris from the LPB, first stop the monitor from sampling then disconnect
the connectors to the Osiris, please note sequence. Turn the monitor off by
pressing the START / STOP and the [] buttons together.
Once the inlet has cooled down carefully remove the inlet from the Osiris air inlet (on
the face of the unit), this could be very tight, sometimes twisting the air inlet frees
the two.
The air inlet does detach from the Osiris, this is a good time to check the air inlet for
blockages.
Remove the Osiris by unscrewing each torque knob a bit at a time. Holding the Osiris
while removing the knobs helps slightly.
Once you have repositioned the Osiris please check all connectors are replaced
correctly and the inlet is secure into the air inlet on the Osiris.
If not already done so start the monitor sampling, wait for 5 minutes and check inlet
heater is warming.
If using a GSM modem you can phone the modem via a mobile phone, if you get a
message saying modem is not switched on you have not re-connected correctly, if
your phone goes through to call/digital sound you have connected correctly. You can
also phone technical support to test the line.
Note: (Telemetry mode should be set to “NO” on all the above connections).
Questions:
8. Monitor Installations
We recommend that a Turnkey engineer, using only specified Turnkey parts, install all
Turnkey’s products.
The Osiris can be installed on street light columns; the Topas and Osiris can be
installed on buildings or stands.
9. Minor Maintenance
Filters can be replaced in the holder either way up, please make sure only one filter is
relocated into the holder.
27 Training Manual
Minor servicing.
If there is a suspected blockage it is possible the blockage could be either in the small
silver nozzle or the heated inlet:-
• To remove pull and twist the nozzle and check for any
ingress/blockages.
• Now remove the filter base from the rear of the Osiris and replace the old
contaminated GFA filter for a new one and refit.
• Start the unit sampling and observe the latest readings on screen.
• Remove the heated inlet and using a can of compressed air blow the inlet tube
through to clear any build-up of deposits.
