Air Quality Sensor
- Sensitive to over 30 different airborne contaminants
- Early detection of potential air-quality problems
- Wall-mountable unit, smoke detector size
- Easy to install and use
- Solid-state detector for reliability and long life
The sensors can be wall or ceiling mounted. A separate power supply (not shown) connects to wall power. Pick a location with good air flow such as an air conditioner return air vent.
Indoor air quality is often a concern, particularly when it comes to the supposedly clean environment of a server room. By continuously sampling the air passing over its internal sensor, the AQS provides IT operators another valuable tool to help monitor the health of their equipment by giving early warning of the presence of potentially damaging contaminants in the air, such as:
Combustibles
Methane, Ethane, Iso-butane, Propane, Ethylene, Hydrogen, Methyl Ether
Volatile Organic Compounds
Acetone, Methanol n-Pentane, n-Hexane, Benzene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Dimethyl Amine Ethanol, Methyl Acetate
Hydrocarbons
Vinyl Chloride, Methyl Chloride, Methylene Chloride, Ethylene Oxide Acryonitrite
Other Gases and Contaminants
Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, Chlorine, Ammonia, Various Freons, Formaldehyde, Tobacco Smoke
