Pyure Insight Edge Application Operating Guide
Pyure Insight® Edge Application Operating Guide
This guide provides a simple, user-friendly overview of the Pyure Insight Edge application interface. It outlines each screen and describes how users interact with individual fields to monitor, configure, and maintain the purification system. Designed to support system setup and ongoing operation, the guide helps users understand the application's core functions and how each feature contributes to effective air and surface purification management.
The Insight Edge application is part of the Insight Edge system complete air and surface purification solution. The system includes these main parts:
Insight Edge Application
This is the software that powers the controller. It is used to configure the system, monitor performance, and manage how each purification device responds to sensor data. The user can access multiple system-level menus through this application, which facilitates device management, configuration, UV optic and sensor alarms, performance monitoring, and system maintenance.
Insight Edge Controller
This is the hardware device that connects to sensors and Pyure equipment. It collects real-time sensor data and tells the purification device how to operate based on that data. The controller may include an optional touchscreen (HMI) for user interaction. It runs the Insight Edge application.
Insight Edge System
This refers to the entire setup when a Pyure air purification device (or multiple devices), one or more sensors, and an Insight Edge controller are connected and working together. The system monitors air quality and automatically adjusts purification levels for optimal performance.
Insight Settings Screen
