Just in time for Air Quality Awareness Week... A new self-guided presentation provides an overview of the new Orion AQM Air Quality Monitoring System with details on sensor components and features. Compactly designed to help make our environment a healthier and safer place by measuring, analyzing, and understanding the data of air pollution, the Orion AQM is easily deployable in air quality monitoring networks for urban areas, industrial sites, and transportation hubs. Orion AQM measures the most common gaseous pollutants nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone, with near-reference measurement performance. Incorporating temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, algorithms compensate for the impact of ambient conditions on the sensor elements. Additionally, Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in the ambient air is measured with the AQM Plus. Proprietary algorithms enable ppb measurements at an affordable price using electrochemical sensors. Link to...

Recent feedback from an industrial customer: “So far the Orion 420 is a big hit. Operators are using the barometric pressure, wind direction, and temp to predict when the big deer bucks will be moving. The analog interface to our controls system worked out very well. You guys did a good job putting it all together for an easy ‘top of the buildings’ install.”   —Engineering Consultant, Kinston, NC Inset: Screen shot of MicroServer Realtime Display For more information: Orion 420™ Weather Station
