Aeroqual AQS1 Air Quality Monitor
Aeroqual AQS1 Air Quality Monitor
COMING SOON! Please call 866-736-8347 to coordinate rental and confirm lead times.
The Aeroqual AQS 1 is a compact, near-reference, real-time air quality monitor for outdoor particulate and gas monitoring projects. Housed in a rugged, weatherproof enclosure with a modular design, it can measure multiple PM size fractions and up to three gas pollutants simultaneously while sending remote, real-time data to Aeroqual monitoring software.
Use the AQS 1 for construction and remediation air monitoring, fenceline and fugitive dust monitoring, industrial site monitoring, landfill monitoring, quarry and mining operations, urban air quality networks, and community air quality studies where defensible real-time data is needed.
What it measures:
- Particulate matter: PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, and TSP
- Gas pollutants: VOCs, O3, NO2, CO, H2S, SO2, and CH4
- Environmental factors: temperature, humidity, noise, barometric pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, and wind direction depending on configuration
Key technology:
- Pumped sampling system provides reliable flow to sensor modules and uses built-in filters to help protect gas sensors from airborne dust.
- Automatic Baseline Correction auto-corrects the zero baseline for gas measurement to reduce drift and cross-interference.
- The NO2 module uses an integrated O3 filter to reduce ozone interference.
- The PCX module measures multiple PM size fractions with automatic flow control and an efficient inlet heater to reduce humidity interference.
- PCX Smart Heater and Aeroqual Cloud Power Scheduler features can reduce energy use for off-grid or cold-weather deployments.
- The AQS 1 is factory calibrated using NIST-traceable reference materials.
Common applications include Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP), Remediation Community Air Monitoring Plans (CAMP), fenceline and fugitive dust emissions monitoring, landfill monitoring, industrial and occupational hygiene monitoring, HSE monitoring, and urban/community air monitoring networks.
Calibration and service planning: The AQS 1 is delivered with NIST-traceable factory calibration. Aeroqual states that most users can depend on 12-month factory calibration for gas modules. PM engine service intervals depend on the particle module: the AQS 1 Particle Monitor is recommended at 24 months, while the AQS 1 Particle Profiler is recommended at 12 months. Confirm the exact PM and gas module configuration before quoting.
Availability note: RAECO Rents is evaluating customer interest in this product. Request availability and project requirements so our team can confirm configuration, lead time, and whether the AQS 1 is the right fit for your monitoring objective.
