General Description
The Trolex Air XD particulate monitor is designed to provide detailed, accurate, real-time data on
airborne particulates so that users can take appropriate actions to stay safe and ensure personnel are
fully protected from particulate-related health hazards. The Air XD allows users to simultaneously
monitor multiple Particulate Matter (PM) sizes (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.25, PM10, as well as custom) and
can report on Total Suspended Particulates (TSP). Precise data is collected for measurable
particulates, enabling detailed size profiling and analysis using the application software.
The Air XD uses an innovative Optical Particle Counter (OPC) that combines adaptive particle flowrate
with advanced sensing technology to ensure a high level of measurement accuracy. The size of each
particle is instantaneously measured and classified at up to 10,000 samples a second to allow detailed
real-time reporting in high dust environments.
As the Air XD records data on all particulates between 0.35μm and 40μm, users can easily access and
view detailed information about a wide range of PM sizes. Measurement information can be viewed via
the instrument display or as a live or historical readings using the application software.

Intended Use
The Air XD is a particulate monitor designed for use in range of applications and environments. The
instrument issuitable for monitoring in either indoor or outdoor ambient airconditions andcancope with
both high and low particulate concentration levels (up to 1500 mg/m3). The instrument is designed to
be low maintenance and does not use pumps or filters. The sensing element has an adaptive flowrate
to increase accuracy in environments with varying airflow.
Limits of Use
To ensure the optimum performance and safe operation, the Air XD must be operated as per the limits
detailed in the technical data section of this user manual. Operation outside these limits may result in
damage to the equipment or failure to achieve the performance specification.
Continual operation of the Air XD at extremes of the specified temperature limits may reduce the
operating lifetime of the product.
Trolex will not be liable for any injury or damage caused by incorrect installation, setup, operation or
maintenance resulting in a failure to follow the procedures and safety instructions provided in this user
manual.

The following symbols are used in this manual or on the instrument to indicate procedures that, if not
followed correctly, may result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
WARNING!
Alerts the user to a potentially hazardous procedure or
practice which, if not followed correctly can result in serious
personal injury or injury of others.
CAUTION!
Alerts the user to a procedure or practice which, if not
followed correctly, can result in damage to the system or
ancillary equipment.
In addition, the following symbols are used on the instrument:
WARNING! –ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK

9 P5628.1600 Rev A
Danger from Process
It is possible that the Air XD could be installed in environments that contain process particulates which
can be hazardous to health.
Unless process conditions are known to be entirely safe, suitable precautions such as the use of
breathing apparatus or environmental purging/detoxifying should be employed before entry is made
into the installation or maintenance environment.
Note: This product variant is not designed for use with Flammable or Explosive dust.
Safety Procedures
Always observe the safety precautions detailed in this user manual. Personnel installing, operating or
maintaining the equipment are responsible for their personal safety and correct handling of the
equipment in accordance with all safety instructions detailed.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the instrument. Warning labels are situated on the
instrument, indicating a hazard at or near the location of the warning label.
Retain these instructions in a safe and known place for future use.
The Air XD has been designed to be as simple to install and commission as possible. Nevertheless,
installation in working environments can be challenging and correct set up is critical to the function of
the instrument. It is important that you carefully read the entire User Manual before using and installing
the Air XD for the first time and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Peripheral components such as the power supply and communications module/peripheral or interface
must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the installation location’s prevailing
statutory regulations.
The installation of the instrument must only be carried out by competent personnel. Each installation
needs to be considered with reference to the local safety regulations and authorities.
Refer to the Certification and Conformity section of this User Manual and to the relevant certificates
for any installation parameters and special conditions of safe use.
Observe the national safety regulations issued, for example, by the employers’ liability insurance
association, social security institutions, occupational safety and health authorities or other safety
organisations.

Laser Safety Precautions
The Air XD is rated via the Class 1 Laser safety guideline under all conditions of normal use.
Class 1 laser products may contain laser systems of a higher class but there are adequate engineering
control measures to ensure that access to the beam is not permitted during normal use.
WARNING - Class 3B laser radiation when the laser housing is
open, do not open the laser housing. Eye damage may result from
the direct viewing of the laser beam.
The Air XD complies with:
-
IEC 60825-1 2014
- 21 CFR-1040.10 and 1040.11
Sensor Housing
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside the Air XD laser
housing. Servicing should only be carried out by Trolex or an approved service
technician.

System Components
The Air XD is typically installed as a stand-alone instrument for general purpose applications.
The instrument is supplied with peripherals fitted to allow for the plug and play installation to
universal mains power supplies and data outputs.
The Air XD instrument and Air X software are specifically designed to work in conjunction with
each other using proprietary protocols and design features. The system has however been
designed to support 3rd party power supplies and communication protocols where required.

TX8005 Air XD Particulate Monitor
The Air XD Particulate Monitor uses an Optical Particle Counter (OPC) that is located inside a
robust stainless-steel housing. This provides isolation and ingress protection between the
particle flow path and the main control circuits. Control circuits are housed in a lockable, IP66
rated coated steel enclosure. Information and settings can be accessed using the keypad and
display located on the front of the instrument.
The Air XD can be configured to report on PM size concentrations or TSP based on user
requirement, with the option of two configurable setpoint relay outputs. Detailed information can
be transmitted via an RS485 or Ethernet connection to a computer running the application
software or downloaded directly from the internal memory module using a USB storage device.
The figure below shows the location of the navigation buttons, display screen and status LEDs.
Power and network connections enter the main housing via cable entry glands located on the
bottom of the instrument. The Air XD can be wall or stand mounted via mounting brackets.

Particulate Flow Path
The Air XD has been designed with the ability to restrict ingress through the particulate flow path during
routine maintenance and cleaning periods. A rotational top cap is used to open or close the particle
flow path to provide increased ingress protection during cleaning.
It is recommended that the top cap is set to the closed position during instrument maintenance and
cleaning to ensure the dust sensor is not exposed to unnecessary ingress. When the top cap is rotated
into the closed position, the Air XD conforms to IPX6.
The Air XD can detect whether the flow path is open or closed and will record top cap positions to aid
with instrument maintenance schedules.
