OptimaTM System Features

Optima Monitor

Air Sensors

  • Air sensors include temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, airborne particles at PM2.5 and PM10, radon, ozone, and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC).
  • The monitor can internally store fifteen days of data or the data can be uploaded to the Knowledge Center automatically using built-in local wireless capabilities. Automatic uploading of data allows user to see trended indoor air data in a graphical format as the data is being collected on site.
  • Automatic upload times are programmable from 1 hour to 24 hours.
  • Sensor data sampled by monitor at 1 minute intervals.

Mold Sampling

  • Automatic sampling of outside and inside air.
  • Monitor houses 4 replaceable spore trap sample cartridges.
  • Mold sample cartridges are sent to one of Aircuity's affiliated laboratories for microscopic analysis. Laboratory results are provided via the Internet to the Aircuity Knowledge Center for further analysis and reporting typically within 24 hours to 48 hours.

Communication between Monitor and Knowledge Center

  • The sensor data is wirelessly transferred from the monitor to a provided base unit modem. The modem then uses a local Aircuity Internet Service Provider (ISP) to transfer the data to the Arcuity Knowledge Center.
  • 900 MHz spread spectrum local wireless communication between the monitor and a modem base unit.
