PositiV Installation Manual
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.

PositiV Installation Manual
Installation Overview
Installation of PositiV is typically completed within one hour and consists of four main
steps in two parts.
Part 1: Setup & Preparation
Step 1: Unboxing and Powering On
First, both the indoor and outdoor PositiV units will need to be unboxed and powered on.
Step 2: Location Identification
Next, the installer should attempt to identify installation locations for the indoor units. It
is best to use the determined installation location of the outdoor unit to identify the best
installation location of the indoor unit; the closer the units are to each other, the better.
Part 2: Configuration, Installation & Calibration
Step 3: PositiV Cx App Configuration & Device Installation
This step consists of configuring the indoor and outdoor PositiV devices and ultimately
installing them at the identified locations from Step 2. For this step, the PositiV Cx app will
need to be downloaded from the Google Play or App Store, respectively using an Android
or Apple device.
Step 4: Calibration
Lastly, the PositiV system will need to be calibrated by following the appropriate steps as
outlined on the PositiV Cx app.

Step 2: Location Identification
2.1 Identify a suitable installation location for the indoor unit.
Key compatibility attributes:
•Minimal airflow interference
•Limited impact from nearby equipment
(Radio frequencies, IoT, metal fixtures and equipment, etc.)

could occur
•Sufficient ambient light (400 Lux)
•Centrally located within the facility, if possible
2.2 Identify a suitable installation location for the outdoor unit.
Key compatibility attributes:
•South facing with direct sunlight (ideally)
•Available space on (a.) exhaust vent / permanent pipe, (b.) RTU, or (c.) masonry
•As clear as possible line of sight from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit
Note: Approx. 75 ft. max distance depending on building materials and line of sight clarity.
•Do not install the outdoor unit on a gas pipe.
•Do not install the outdoor unit in a shaded area.

Step 3: PositiV Cx App and Configuration
During this step, the installer will be using his or her phone to configure the PositiV
system. During configuration, the installer will enable Bluetooth communication between
the devices; sync the devices; range test the connectivity strength between the indoor
and outdoor PositiV units; and, ultimately, install the units at their tested locations.
3.1 Download Melink Corporation’s PositiV Cx app from the Google Play Store or App
Store.
3.2 With the indoor and outdoor units next to each other, press the Bluetooth button on
the circuit board of the outdoor unit.

3.3 Screw the cover onto the back of the outdoor unit.
Note: Ensure (a.) the rubber gasket is flush with the cover, (b.) there are no twists in the gasket, and (c.) no wires
are being clamped between the base and cover of the outdoor unit. Without overtightening, ensure there is no
gap between the base and cover. The cover is tight enough when there is no longer a gap between the base and
cover. Do not overtighten.
3.4 With the units still next to each other, press and release the Bluetooth button on the
indoor unit.
3.5 On your phone, turn Bluetooth “On”and open the PositiV Cx app.
