10000 Ambient Air Monitor
1.2 LPM
The Airy Technology® 10000 Ambient Air Quality Monitor is engineered for reliable, continuous measurement of ambient particulate matter in outdoor environments. Housed in a NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure, this unit measures particle sizes from 0.3 to 25.0 μm, and can display up to six user-selectable size channels, ideal for regulatory, research, and public health applications. The 1.2 LPM flow rate is optimized for high-concentration environments providing improved accuracy, reduced coincidence loss, and extended instrument lifespan in comparison to higher-flow models.
The 10000 delivers reliable performance in applications ranging from roadside monitoring and urban air studies to industrial fence-line surveillance and environmental research. Its durable design withstands harsh weather conditions while maintaining high accuracy and sensitivity across a wide range of particle concentrations.
A touchscreen interface inside the enclosures allows for real-time data, feedback and setting adjustment. Optional CO2, TVOC, temperature and humidity sensors further support comprehensive air quality analysis. Data can be simultaneously communicated and logged locally, exported as .CSV, or analyzed via the free Airy Technology® software. The system supports remote internet based diagnostics and offers multiple communication protocols for seamless integration with environmental monitoring networks, smart city platforms, and government air quality systems. Whether deployed as a standalone or as part of a larger distributed sensor network, the 10000 delivers dependable, field-ready performance for long-term outdoor particulate monitoring.
