Product Description
The Ace Instruments duct mounted indoor air quality (IAQ) sensor is designed for installation in green buildings where air is sampled from the HVAC ducts (return air/supply air duct) to enable total IAQ insight. The device is designed to give an overview of the critical IAQ parameters: Particulate Matter PM2.5, Particulate Matter PM10, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Temperature and Humidity.
The device comes equipped with RS-485 Modbus communication, allowing for full visbility over building management systems. The AI-IAQ-D duct mounted indoor air quality series is designed to solve the critical problem of demand controlled ventilation by providing insights into filter clogging status (particulate matter readings), prevailing thermal comfort (temperature & humidity readings) and alerts regarding high VOC content. Facility managers in commercial buildings can proactively manage air quality through early identification of issues, harnessing the power of strategically placed duct mounted indoor air quality sensors.
With placement in return air ducts, the AI-IAQ-D represents the quality of the air being supplied to the occupants in real time. Through insight into a wide variety of IAQ parameters, the duct mounted air quality monitor enables the implementation of a demand controlled ventilation system that takes into account a more comprehensive picture of air quality. The DCV can introduce fresh air based on inputs for fine particulates/dust in the air, VOCs from chemicals/fragrances/smells, and humidity control. This enhances energy savings while optimizing air flow in areas that have reasons other than high occupancy to have fresh air introduced.
The AI-IAQ series is designed to support users in meeting a range of regulatory requirements, including: LEED, WELL, ASHRAE 62.1, Estidima, Mostadam, GRIHA, BREEAM, NABERS, Green Star, CASBEE, Green Mark.
Features
- Multi-parameter IAQ monitoring: The duct mounted indoor air quality transmitter consolidates key indoor air quality parameters in one device (PM2.5, PM10, VOC, Temperature, Humidity) providing well-rounded IAQ insight to users and replacing the need for multiple sensors for individual parameters.
- RS-485 Modbus communication: To offer ease of connectivity and powerful insights, the AI-IAQ-D connects to your BMS system over RS485 Modbus communication. Data is available 24x7 on BMS systems and can be processed for proactive IAQ maintenance.
- Reliable on-device air sampling: To ensure precise readings, this device employs a probe inserted directly into the HVAC duct that leverages the Venturi effect to circulate air samples. Air is forced through intake vents, directed internally across the IAQ sensor for analysis, and then expelled through exhaust vents on the opposite side, creating a continuous and accurate sampling loop.
- Durable ABS plastic duct mounting enclosure: The sensor is suited to withstand the working conditions in HVAC ducts with durable ABS material used for the enclosure and the probe attachment. A duct mounting bracket is provided for reliable and secure mounting onto HVAC duct systems.

FAQs
- Which Air Quality Parameters Does The 6-in-1 Indoor Air Quality Monitor Detect?
The AI-IAQ6-PH detects 6 critical parameters of indoor air quality:
- Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
- Larger Airborne Particles (PM10)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Can an indoor air quality monitor help me identify specific sources of indoor air pollution?
While an indoor air quality monitor can indicate elevated levels of pollutants, it may not directly identify the exact sources. However, by monitoring the data over time and correlating it with activities or events in the indoor environment, you may be able to pinpoint potential sources or triggers.
- Can an indoor air quality monitor be used in commercial buildings?
Yes, indoor air quality monitors are suitable for use in various settings, including commercial buildings, offices, schools, hospitals, and other indoor environments where air quality is important. They can help maintain a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for occupants.
- Does the Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor provide real-time data or is it based on periodic measurements?
The Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor empowers users with real-time data. The monitor additionally transmits information either by Modbus communication or via Wi-Fi to our web-based dashboard at user defined time intervals. - Can the Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor be integrated with existing building management systems or control systems?
Yes, the Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing building management systems or control systems. It is equipped with RS-485 Modbus communication capabilities, allowing for efficient and reliable data exchange between the IAQ monitor and other connected devices or systems. The AI-IAQ6-PH can easily interface with building automation systems, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) controls, or other compatible systems. This integration enables centralized monitoring and control of the indoor air quality parameters measured by the Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor, providing a comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing indoor air quality in various environments.
- Does the Ace Instruments IAQ Monitor offer any alerts or notifications when air quality exceeds predefined thresholds?
Yes, the monitor is equipped with buzzer and visual alerts. In case the threshold is violated, an audible buzzer alarm alerts users to the change and enables them to take corrective action. Additionally, a visual alarm turns the parameter in violation to red in colour to attract the attention of the users. The alarms are configurable and can be disabled by the users.
