Operating Manual
1. Introduction
The ObservAir is an air quality sensing platform that provides accurate
pollutant concentration measurements in real time. Key features include:
Modular: The ObservAir is centered around a black carbon (BC)
sensor, and can optionally monitor up to two of the following seven
gaseous pollutants: CO, NO, NO
2
, SO
2
, O
3
, H
2
S, and VOC.
Portable: The lightweight (600g) and compact (120x80x45 mm)
ObservAir is easily deployed in both stationary and mobile monitoring
applications.
Connected: All ObservAir units support WiFi and USB communication
protocols, and include a 16GB removable SD card for onboard data
storage. Units may also be supplemented with an LTE communication
module and a GPS unit for location logging. An integrated mobile app
and optional data backend services enable real-time air quality
monitoring, sensor diagnostics, and data collection.
Accuracy anywhere: Using DSTech’s proprietary environmental
compensation algorithms, each ObservAir is individually ‘trained’ to
maintain measurement accuracy even in harsh operating
environments (e.g. outdoors) where existing air quality instruments
typically suffer.
Network-ready: With up to 24 hours of battery life, flexible wireless
communication options, and environmental compensation, the
ObservAir is ready for networked deployments at a moment’s notice.
Flexible: Accessories are available to enable a wide range of
monitoring applications. Environmentally controlled outdoor
enclosures and solar panels are available for extended stationary
measurements in harsh conditions. Optional sensors can be outfitted
to measure particulate matter pollution, ambient meteorological
conditions, and other environmental factors. Custom mounting and
packaging solutions for mobile and airborne platforms are also
available on request.
The ObservAir is designed to be easily deployed anywhere, and trusted to
deliver accurate air quality measurements reliably and conveniently. If you
