Key Parameters:
- PM2.5, PM10, PM1.0: Fine particulate matter that can penetrate deep into the lungs. Lower values indicate cleaner air.
- CO2 (Carbon Dioxide): High levels can cause drowsiness, headaches, and reduced cognitive function. Ventilation is recommended when levels exceed 1000 ppm.
- HCHO (Formaldehyde): A common indoor air pollutant from building materials and furniture. High levels can cause respiratory irritation.
- TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds): A group of chemicals that can cause various health effects.
- AQI (Air Quality Index): A general indicator of air quality, with higher numbers indicating greater pollution.
- Temperature & Humidity: Essential for comfort and preventing mold growth.
8. Alarm Function
The monitor is equipped with an alarm function to alert you when air quality parameters exceed safe levels. This feature helps you take timely action, such as opening windows for ventilation.

Alarm Thresholds:
- AQI: Alarm sounds if AQI value exceeds 100.
- CO2: Alarm sounds if CO2 concentration exceeds 1500 ppm.
- PM1.0: Alarm sounds if PM1.0 concentration exceeds 75 µg/m³.
- PM2.5: Alarm sounds if PM2.5 concentration exceeds 75 µg/m³.
- PM10: Alarm sounds if PM10 concentration exceeds 150 µg/m³.
- HCHO: Alarm sounds if HCHO concentration exceeds 0.1 mg/m³.
- TVOC: Alarm sounds if TVOC concentration exceeds 0.5 mg/m³.
When an alarm is triggered, the device will emit an audible alert and display a visual warning. This allows you to quickly identify and address air quality issues without constantly monitoring the screen.
