We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about indoor air or the air-Q. We are also open to sales partnerships and collaborations and look forward to hearing from you.
Yes, depending on the version, the air-Q has one or more free slots for additional sensors. For example, it is conceivable to add another particulates sensor for ultra-particulate matter or a sensor for methane. All additional sensors available so far can be found at https://shop.air-q.com/.
In principle, the air-Q is intended as a stationary measuring system, as it constantly adapts to its environment by means of automatic calibration. However, by using a mobile power source (e.g. power bank), it can also be used on the move. Here are two sample calculations for the capacity required for a certain period of time. The figures refer to power banks that indicate the capacity in mAh at 5V:
The power source is to supply the air-Q for 24 hours. How much capacity is required?
Calculation: 0.26 A * 24 h = 6.24 Ah = 6240 mAh.
The power source has 25000 mAh, how long does it last?
Calculation: 25 Ah/0.26 A = ~ 96 h.
The air-Q is designed for indoor use. Outside, splash water or rain can penetrate and damage the electronics. However, if the device is protected from direct water, it can also be used for outdoor measurements for short periods. Condensing moisture must be avoided at all costs, otherwise the air-Q may be irreparably damaged. The air-Q can be used under a roof, for example, within the scope of the specifications (data sheet) .
Caution: When measuring outdoors, however, the electrochemical sensors (such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide) may provide inconsistent measured values in places, as the strong temperature and humidity fluctuations outside affect the sensors due to the measuring principle and the calibration must be improved (--> automatic calibration of the air-Q).
