MONNIT Wireless Particulate Matter Air Quality Sensor
MONNIT Wireless Particulate Matter Air Quality Sensor is a wireless air quality PM meter designed to monitor airborne particulate matter across PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 size ranges. It uses a 433 MHz ALTA wireless connection and line power with battery backup. The sensor is suited to applications where particulate levels need to be monitored remotely, including buildings, production facilities, commercial kitchens and other environments where airborne dust and particles are important to track.
The MONNIT Wireless Particulate Matter Air Quality Sensor provides remote monitoring of airborne particulate matter. The sensor measures particles in three size categories - PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 - giving users a way to track different particle fractions within an indoor or industrial environment.
This version operates on the ALTA 433 MHz wireless platform and uses line power with battery backup. The Monnit product page identifies the enclosure as the Standard AA enclosure and states that mounting hardware and a USB cable are included.
How it works
- The sensor samples ambient air and measures particulate matter within the specified particle-size ranges.
- PM1 covers particles from 0.3 to 1.0 µm, PM2.5 covers 1.0 to 2.5 µm, and PM10 covers 2.5 to 10 µm.
- The measured information is transmitted using Monnit's ALTA wireless protocol.
- The sensor can retain readings when gateway connectivity is unavailable, using its internal non-volatile memory.
Why choose this product
- Provides monitoring of three particulate size classifications in one sensor.
- The 433 MHz ALTA wireless connection supports remote sensor deployment without requiring a wired data connection to the monitoring point.
- Line power with battery backup is useful where continuous operation is required while retaining backup power capability.
- The sensor is designed for integration with the ALTA wireless monitoring ecosystem.
Benefits
The sensor provides a practical way to monitor airborne particulate conditions at locations where regular manual measurements may be less convenient. Its wireless architecture allows the monitoring point to be positioned separately from the receiving equipment, while the particulate measurements provide useful information for environmental and facility monitoring.
