- Place the monitor in the desired location.
- Press the RUN / STOP key if the measurement is not already active. The display will show real-time readings for HCHO, TVOC, PM2.5, and PM10.
- Allow a few minutes for the readings to stabilize, especially when moving the device to a new environment.
5.2 Interpreting Readings
Image: Reference table for air quality pollution levels (PM2.5, HCHO, TVOC, PM10) and common sources of HCHO, TVOC, and PM2.5/1.0/10.
The monitor displays concentrations of various pollutants. Refer to the table below for general guidance on air quality levels:
| Parameter | Good | Moderate | Unhealthy | Unhealthy+ | Hazardous | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PM2.5 (µg/m³) | 0-35 | 36-75 | 76-115 | 116-150 | 151-250 | >250 |
| HCHO (mg/m³) | 0-0.08 | 0.081-0.1 | 0.101-0.2 | 0.201-0.5 | 0.501-1.0 | >1 |
| TVOC (mg/m³) | 0-0.5 | 0.5-0.6 | 0.6-1.5 | 1.5-3.0 | 3.0-6.0 | >6.0 |
