Models 8301-AQM1 and 8301-AQM2

The Particles Plus® 8301-AQM1 and 8301-AQM2 Series portable particle counter and environmental monitor measures particles from 0.3 to 25 µm in mass concentration and stores indoor air quality measurements of temperature, relative humidity, CO2, and TVOC in the 8301-AQM2. This instrument is the most versatile portable air monitor available, featuring advanced power management and the industry's first sleep mode, enabling battery operation for periods exceeding a month on a single charge. The AQM Series can be used as a standalone battery-powered instrument or easily integrated into a building automation and facility monitoring system via Ethernet, USB, or (optional) Wireless 802.11 b/g, RS485, or RS232 connections. The AQM reports and displays 6 user-selectable particle size channels, as well as carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and relative humidity. The 8301-AQM2 includes a PID sensor for TVOC. The instrument monitors PM1, PM2.5, PM5, PM10, and TPM (and any other user-specified PM size values) with an easy-to-use Channel Management control panel. The instrument also monitors flow, sensor status, last calibration data, serial number, laser on time, and manufacturing data for easy maintenance and warranty management. Intuitive field calibration for integrated environmental sensors allows for single- or double-point compensation and ensures accuracy for air quality surveys. View data and generate real-time environmental reports on-screen, via printer or USB stick, or export them to Particles Plus® instrument management software. Particles Plus® instruments can be controlled and monitored remotely via a web browser from any PC, tablet, or smartphone, supporting 20 concurrent user sessions. The 8301-AQM1 and 8301-AQM2 store up to 45,000 time-stamped particle counts and environmental data records, providing data redundancy on each instrument. The AQM's mass concentration mode approximates density to µg/m³ and allows for density and refractive index corrections to ensure accuracy. All Particles Plus® counters meet ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921 standards. The 8301-AQM1 and 8301-AQM2 ensure compliance and accuracy with a built-in pulse height analyzer.
