The CS-AQMS1 is a cloud-based air quality monitoring system that records and displays real-time data for a wide range of parameters, such as particulate matter, pollutant gases, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. If you have an active internet connection, you can monitor this data live from your computer or phone, regardless of your location. This real-time information is valuable for assessing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) or calculating the Air Quality Index (AQI).

Our air quality monitoring system is available in four versions, each equipped with four fundamental sensors: Particulate Matter, temperature, relative humidity (RH), and barometric pressure (BMP). Additionally, it provides the flexibility to choose three gas sensors from the available options (refer to the specifications), allowing users to tailor the system to meet specific requirements.

The CS-AQMS1 is designed to withstand extreme conditions, operating reliably in temperatures as low as -20°C and humidity levels up to 99%. However, readings may be affected, as the system is not calibrated for such extremes. Nonetheless, the system ensures data protection even under extreme conditions. During winter, snow accumulation might block the air inlet pathway; therefore, we have integrated a heater to mitigate potential issues arising from snow accumulation.
