AIR-AIDE Product Data Bulletin (PDF)
The portable AIR-AIDE™ Airborne Particulate Monitor is a fixed-point
monitor to survey dust levels. AIR-AIDE is ideal
for indoor air quality investigations and as a tool for compliance
monitoring. With the 10-hour
NiMH battery, AIR-AIDE can sample for a full day. For extended monitoring,
run AIR-AIDE from AC power using the supplied charger/adapter. Results
are displayed immediately or can be stored in memory. At the end of
monitoring, download data to a PC. Supplied DustComm Pro Software
allows for graphical
and statistical representation of the total dust generating process.
AIR-AIDE Applications
AIR-AIDE can be used for both indoor and ambient monitoring. It is an excellent assistant tool for OSHA/EPA/ASHRAE compliance methods.
