Air Quality Parameters and Meanings
ParameterDescription
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)A gas produced by human respiration and combustion. High levels can cause drowsiness and headaches.
PM2.5, PM1.0, PM10 (Particulate Matter)Microscopic solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. PM2.5 and PM1.0 are fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs.
HCHO (Formaldehyde)A volatile organic compound (VOC) commonly found in building materials and household products. Can cause respiratory irritation.
TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds)A group of organic chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air. Sources include paints, cleaning supplies, and furnishings.
TemperatureAmbient air temperature.
HumidityThe amount of water vapor in the air.
AQI (Air Quality Index)A standardized index that indicates the overall air quality based on multiple pollutants.

4.6 Real-Time AQI Alert Buzzers

The monitor is equipped with 7 distinct alert functions that provide real-time notifications when pollutant levels exceed safe thresholds. The display will also show a color-coded bar (Good, OK, Poor) to visually indicate air quality status.

  • When an alert is triggered, an audible buzzer will sound.
  • To silence the alarm, press the “Alarm button” (mute button).
