Smart alarm for cigarette smoke

Cigarette smoke detection, alarm triggering and documentation

Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of gases. It mainly consists of particulates particles, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and various chemicals such as nicotine and other VOCs. People react differently to cigarette smoke. They can be individually warned if smoking is unauthorized or undesirable. The air-Q also records the progression of all measured variables so that they can be referred to later. Please also read our technical article on the effects of cigarette smoke on air quality.

There are no fixed limit values for cigarette smoke . The air-Q allows you to set your own limit values for the detection of disturbing cigarette smoke. The following measured variables are components of cigarette smoke and can be measured by the air-Q.

Carbon monoxide (CO)

particulates (PM₁ - PM₂,₅ - PM₁₀)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

Formaldehyde Pollutant Air component air-Q

Formaldehyde (CH₂O)

Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)

Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)

Fire alarm and smoke alarm with push / mail messages

The air-Q has an integrated fire alarm (or smoke alarm), which triggers an acoustic and visual alarm on the device. Through the connection of several high-quality sensors, the air-Q acts as a very fine and precise smoke detector that triggers decisively earlier.
Optionally, the fire / smoke alarm can also be configured as a push message and mail notification.

Depending on the presence of the corresponding sensors, the fire alarm is triggered at the following thresholds:

‍Note: The air-Q cannot be used as a legal smoke detector, as requirements for installation location and independence from mains power are not met for this. The air-Q is powered by a power cable and not by batteries. However, the air-Q can complement the existing smoke detector, already to potentially dangerous situations through more sensors more accurately detect and notify and thus also - possibly decisively - earlier alarm.
