The PM10 / PM2.5 Portable Particulate Monitor is a truly handheld portable monitor that measures PM10 and PM2.5 in real-time. Compatible with Aeroqual’s Series 200/300/500 air quality monitors, the PM sensor head uses a laser and optical sensor to measure light scattered from particles passing through the laser beam. The optical sensor transforms scattered light into electrical signals which are processed to provide mass measurements – in this case PM2.5 and PM10.
The PM sensor head is supplied factory-calibrated and ready to use. An electrical signal is passed from the sensor head to the Aeroqual Series 200/300/500 base unit which displays the measurements on the screen in milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3). In the case of the Series 300 and 500 base units, a gain (or K factor) can be applied to the sensor output. This allows users to adjust the readings relative to a trusted source such as EPA-approved reference monitor.
In the Series 500 model, measurements can be stored on the device and downloaded later to a computer via the USB cable and bundled software. The Series 500 is also featured in our new Outdoor Air Quality Test Kit and Indoor Air Quality Test Kit, a convenient way to test multiple gases and particulates in the air around you.
