In most public space or office buildings, the air ventilation and air quality is poor. The AVC-M series can detect several important parameters of indoor air quality and environment, such as CO2, CO, HCHO, O2, NH3, TVOC, PM2.5, PM10, temperature and humidity. Easy installation and the recommended height of installation is 1~2M above the floor level. It uses good quality sensors; such as the NDIR CO2 sensor; electro-chemical sensor for HCHO, CO, O2 and NH3; laser scattering principle sensor for PM2.5 and PM10; CMOS sensor for TVOC, temperature and humidity. AVC-M can be used with a monitoring system, which can activate ventilation system to keep a better indoor air quality or for energy saving. It is perfect for school, library, offices, meeting room, commercial building, shopping center, train/subway station or exhibition hall and etc.

Note 1: In normal IAQ applications. Accuracy is defined after minimum 3 weeks of continuous operation with ABC. However, some industrial applications do require maintenance.
Note 2: Accuracy is specified at room temperature +25°C and at normal pressure 101.3 kPa. Specification is referenced to certified calibration mixtures. Uncertainty of calibration gas mixtures (+-1% currently) is to be added to the specified accuracy for absolute measurements.
(1) The frequency channels will be differed by country and this frequency can be configured accordingly from 862 to 932Hz
(2) It is recommended to perform calibration at least every 6 months. Meanwhile, for the device installed in the environment with extreme condition, quarterly calibration would be necessary. When sensor is aging (lifespan of sensor is usually 12 months), it might cause sensor drift.
(3) VOC index points: The value 100 refers to the typical indoor gas composition over the past 24 h. While values between 100 and 500 indicate a deterioration, values between 0 and 100 inform about improvement of the air quality.
