1. Summery
Air Particle Monitor (hereinafter called “Product”) is the device to measure floating particle (diameter over
0.3µm) in the air using light diffusion feature.
Through analog output according to an amount of floating particles in the air, contact output is on when an
amount of particles exceeds a threshold.
And, mounting the cable communication module, display of measurement and modification of parameter can
be available by using PCs and cable communication.
2. Measurement Principle
This is the sensor to detect the particulate matters (PM) in the air optically and simply.
The laser diode (LD) as a light emitting device and the photo diode as a light receiving device can be used.
Irradiating incident light by the light emitting device in the air to be detected, and the scattering light
according to an amount of floating particles can be detected by the light receiving device.
A signal value of mass concentration ((µg/m3) can be output with calculation by counting PM in the
environment.

# The power supply must be connected to only one of DC jack or terminal block.
# Removing wire: Insert a slotted screwdriver and pull out a wire. Use a blade edge about 3mm.
7. Wi-Fi communication
Measuring data display and modification of parameter on the web browser of Product will be performed by
Wi-Fi communication.
# Communication has 2 modes of “Access point mode: AP” and “Station mode: ST”.
7-1. Access point mode (AP)
This is the one by one mode, one sensor to one PC or one tablet.
# Not available to access more than one terminal to a Product in the same time.
7-2. Station mode (ST)
This is the mode using a wireless LAN (router), measuring display and modifying on Product can be
available on a PC or a tablet connected to the wireless LAN of Product.
# If ST accessing to Product, please access from only one terminal.
In case of accessing from more than one terminal, communication may not work well.
