AQ Guard Smart 1000 | Air quality analyer for monitoring fine particulate matter

AQ Guard Smart 1000

AQ Guard Smart 1000 is suitable for outdoor use under extreme conditions. It has proven its performance under a wide range of meteorological conditions.

For better utilization of its heat, the heated inlet is located inside the housing and is dynamically switched on depending on the humidity and temperature. The AQ Guard Smart System has Ethernet, WLAN, and cellular connectivity and supports ASCII and MODBUS protocols for communication. All data is continuously recorded and can be retrieved retrospectively and in real-time.

The AQ Guard Smart 1000 supports model calculations of the current fine dust pollution and forecasts. These will be based on stricter limit values in the future, requiring lower uncertainties for local measurements.

The device offers manufacturers and users of low-resolution sensors a comparison option and, thus, a plausibility check before the measured values are made available for further processing in formation and dispersion studies.

Sensors that measure temperature, humidity, and pressure are integrated as standard.

AQ Guard Smart System has a pole or tripod mount and can be extended with a sunshade and LoRa modem if required.
