FAQs

Aeroqual S Series

 

Can the Aeroqual S Series be used for both indoor and outdoor air monitoring?

Yes, the S Series includes models suited for both indoor and outdoor environments.

How often should the S Series be calibrated?

For yearly maintenance, we run a ‘hot swap- sensor scheme’. Where ‘hot swap sensors’ are ordered through Shawcity at a discount (15%), freeing up the return of the old sensors for recalibration, ready to be sent out in twelve months’ time.

By using this method, you will not see any downtime on your instrument

How does the swappable head system work for the Ranger?

Users can switch sensor heads to measure different pollutants without needing multiple devices.

Can I connect multiple sensor heads to the Aeroqual S Series at the same time?

You can only connect one gas or particulate sensor head at a time to monitor.

How long do the senor heads last?

It is recommended that sensor heads need to be replaced after two years, however higher exposure levels or harsh environments can lead to a significant reduction in life expectancy. Your monitor display is likely to indicate sensor failure or ageing if the sensor is nearing the end of its useful life.

The WARMING UP sign on my S Series won’t disappear.

If the sensor is new (or has been unused for a long period of time), it can take up to 24hrs for the words ‘WARMING UP’ to disappear. In this situation, try running the sensor in a clean air environment. If they message remains up to 48hrs after startup, a sensor failure may have occurred, and you should contact customer support.

Do I need to wait for the monitor to warm up before performing a bump test?

No, it’s not necessary to wait for the monitor to warm up or for readings to stabilise before performing a bump test.

How do you speed up the warmup cycle for the S Series?

Taking the monitor with ozone sensor head outside or opening a window and having the sensor sample outdoor air should speed up the warmup cycle.

What is the max current rating for the transistor outputs when wiring an external alarm to an Aeroqual monitor?

The transistor outputs typically have a maximum current rating of 200mA. Exceeding this limit may damage the monitors circuitry.

How do I change the location ID on my Aeroqual monitor?

To change the location ID:

  • Navigate to the SETUP
  • Select LOCATION ID and enter the new ID number.
  • Save the changes before exiting the menu.
What should I do if my Aeroqual monitor unexpectedly stops working?

If your monitor stops working unexpectedly, the battery may have become disconnected from the socket at the base of the monitor. In this case, check the connection to ensure the battery is properly seated and reattach it if necessary.

How to disable the alarm on the S Series?

Use the UP/DOWN buttons to disable the alarm. Once the alarm is disabled a P shows to the right of the alarm mute symbol on the main display.

AEROQUAL RANGER
Can I attach or detach the sensor head while the Aeroqual Ranger monitor is turned on?

Yes, the sensor head can be attached or detached whether the Ranger monitor is turned on or off.

How do I attach a sensor head to the Aeroqual Ranger monitor?

To attach a sensor head, firstly you need to align the sensor head with the monitor base and then press the sensor head into the monitor base until you hear a click, indicating its securely connected.

How can I access the data logged on to the Ranger?

The data is accessible via Ranger Cloud or by downloading it with a USB cable. With Wi-Fi enabled, all logged data is immediately synchronised to the Cloud. You can log into the Cloud & click on ‘Manage Data’ to access your information.

Does the Aeroqual Rangers monitor base need to be calibrated?

No, the monitor base does not require calibration.

How do I connect the Ranger monitor to a Wi-Fi network?

In the settings menu, navigate to Wi-FI > Networks, select your network, enter password and select submit.

Press and hold the LEFT ARROW to return to the Main Screen.

TROLEX
What particle size can the Air XD detect?

The Air XD simultaneously monitors dust particles ranging from 0.38 µm to 40 µm in real time.

What communication interfaces does the XD support?

The Air XD supports RS485 with MODBUS RTU protocol and Ethernet for data communication.

What maintenance is required for the AIR XD?

The Air XD is designed for minimal maintenance, with typical service intervals ranging from 6 to 12 months, depending on operating conditions.

What software is compatible with the AIR XS Silica Monitor?

The AIR XS is compatible with BreatheXS software, which facilitates quick and simple storage, access, and analysis of data.

What types of dust can the XD1+ monitor?

The XD1+ is capable of monitoring multiple dust particle sizes, including PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25, and PM10, providing a detailed view of airborne contaminants in real time.

How do I know when dust levels exceed safe limits?

The XD1+ features real-time alarms that alert users when dust levels exceed pre-set Short-Term Exposure Limit and Time-Weighted Average thresholds.

How does the XD1+ store and manage data?

The XD1+ connects to the BreatheLite PC app or BreatheMOBILE app via Bluetooth, allowing users to access live dust exposure data and manage device allocations.

Sensidyne
What does the fault light indicator do?

The fault light indicator on the GilAir-3 activates when the pump flow control is outside the specified range.

What is the flow rate for the Gil Air Sampling Pump?

The Gil Air Sampling Pump Plus offers flow rates between 20 and 5,100 cc/min.

Does the Gil Air Plus support both constant flow and constant pressure modes?

Yes, the pump features QuadMode™ technology, allowing it to operate in both constant flow and constant pressure modes across its entire flow range.

How do I verify that my air sampling pump is properly calibrated?

The Go-Cal Pro provides a digital calibration verification process, storing event logs with sample details, flow rates, and instrument settings to ensure accurate calibration.
