An air system monitoring kit typically includes the following components:
1. **Sensors**: These are crucial for detecting various air quality parameters. Common sensors include:
- **Particulate Matter (PM) Sensors**: Measure the concentration of particles like PM2.5 and PM10.
- **Gas Sensors**: Detect gases such as CO2, CO, NO2, O3, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
- **Temperature and Humidity Sensors**: Monitor ambient temperature and relative humidity levels.
2. **Data Logger**: This device records the data collected by the sensors over time. It often includes storage capabilities and may have options for data export.
3. **Display Unit**: Provides real-time readings of air quality parameters. It can be a digital screen on the device or a connected app on a smartphone or computer.
4. **Power Supply**: Includes batteries or an AC adapter to power the monitoring kit. Some kits may have solar panels for outdoor use.
5. **Communication Module**: Enables data transmission to external devices or cloud services. Common technologies include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular connectivity.
6. **Calibration Tools**: Ensure the accuracy of sensors. These may include calibration gases or software for recalibrating the sensors.
7. **Mounting Accessories**: Brackets, stands, or enclosures for installing the sensors in various environments, whether indoors or outdoors.
8. **Software**: Provides data analysis, visualization, and reporting capabilities. It may include mobile apps or desktop applications for monitoring and managing air quality data.
9. **User Manual**: Offers instructions for setup, operation, and maintenance of the monitoring kit.
10. **Alerts and Notifications System**: Sends alerts via email, SMS, or app notifications when air quality parameters exceed predefined thresholds.
These components work together to provide comprehensive monitoring and analysis of air quality in various environments.
