3 METROSONICS INDOOR AIR QUALITY MONITORS THE PROFESSIONAL CHOICE INTEGRATED Metrosonics aq Series monitors are the result of over 26 years of experience in the design and development of hand-held and portable data acquisition systems. The aq Series monitors deliver unmatched convenience, versatility and value. They simultaneously display and record levels of CO2, temperature, %RH, and any one of ten gas hazards. They also interface with third-party instruments sensing pollutants such as VOC s, respirable dusts, air velocity, etc. SIMPLE TO USE aq Series monitors incorporate advanced hardware and firmware design, making them the easiest to use indoor air quality instruments available today. The combination of straight-forward operator controls, large back-lit displays, and intuitive display prompts give you a tool that is ready for use with a moments notice. DURABLE AND DEPENDABLE aq Series monitors are best prepared to withstand the rigors of heavy use. Hand-held aq Series monitors are packaged in tough, watertight, dust-tight, anodized extruded aluminum enclosures. Portable aq Series monitors are packaged in rugged, crush-proof enclosure systems. Metrosonics aq Series monitors are known for their durability and long life. RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON Metrosonics is an ISO 9001 registered company, committed to delivering the highest quality instruments available today. Our newest aq-series monitors are a hallmark for reliability. EXPANDABLE CAPABILITIES At Metrosonics, you will be advised to buy only the features you need, not ones you may never require but might otherwise pay for just in case. All aq Series monitors begin in a base configuration with sensors for monitoring CO2, temperature and relative humidity. aq Series users enjoy the confidence of knowing that a host of additional sensors may be added to the existing monitor as the need arises. AFFORDABLE QUALITY Through continuous improvements in engineering design and methods of manufacture, Metrosonics delivers the features you want, when you want them, at an affordable price. 3

5 aq-5000 HAND-HELD IAQ MONITOR A SNAP-SHOT SURVEY TOOL AND CONTINUOUS DATALOGGER IN ONE The aq-5000 is an economical solution for users seeking a compact survey/trend analysis tool. When you set the aq-5000 to survey mode it immediately begins capturing snap-shots of all IAQ data at discrete points, during the course of a building walk-through. Revert to datalogging mode and the aq-5000 becomes a continuous profiling recorder, permitting trend analysis of all monitored IAQ parameters. A COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR IAQ MONITORING The aq-5000 simultaneously displays and records: Carbon Dioxide (Selectable: 0 to 5,000 or 0 to 20,000 ppm) Temperature ( C or F) Relative Humidity Gas Levels - using any of the following interchangeable electrochemical sensors: - Carbon Monoxide - Oxygen - Sulfur Dioxide - Hydrogen Sulfide - Chlorine - Nitrogen Dioxide - Nitric Oxide - Hydrogen Cyanide - Ammonia Third-Party Sensors/Analyzers: - VOC s - Air Velocity - Respirable Dusts - Pressure - Other sensors/analyzers with a linear output GENERATES REPORTS AND GRAPHS The aq-5000 prints formatted reports of overall summary data and time history profiles directly to a serial printer. ms-5000w Metrosoft for Windows Applications Software lets you upload aq-5000 data to your computer for storage, retrieval, graphing, reporting and analysis. Metrosoft even calculates air exchange rates for you. (See page 7 for more details on Metrosoft ). CONVENIENT POWER OPTIONS The aq-5000 can operate on any of the following power sources: AA alkaline batteries Rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries AC power (AC power adapter comes with the instrument) Batteries are ideal for survey monitoring, while AC power may be more convenient for long-term datalogging. Use the power source that best suits your needs. RUGGED & SIMPLE TO USE The aq-5000 is constructed of industrial-grade anodized extruded aluminum. Compact and lightweight, it is convenient to carry to each survey point. With only four operator controls and a large display with intuitive messages, the aq-5000 is incredibly easy-to-use. 5

6 aq-5001 PORTABLE IAQ MONITOR aq-5001 The aq-5001 includes ALL of the performance features and benefits of the aq-5000 PLUS: SECURE UNATTENDED MONITORING The aq-5001 monitor is housed in a very tough, lockable enclosure which best serves the need for secure, unattended long-term monitoring. Accommodations on the outside of the enclosure allow securing the aq-5001 at the monitoring site to help prevent tampering, theft and vandalism. CONVENIENT STORAGE, TRANSIT AND SHIPPING The aq-5001 can be checked as baggage or shipped via ground or airfreight service as is. All sampling accessories are safely and conveniently stored inside the custom enclosure system. Overall dimensions are a mere 15 x 10.5 x 6 inches (38.1 x 26.7 x 15.2 cm) and the total weight is less than 11 pounds (4.9 kg). CONVERTIBLE SYSTEM STRETCHES YOUR INVESTMENT The aq-5001 is ideal as a portable monitor for continuous datalogging. Whenever the need arises, you can transform your aq-5001 into a hand-held survey monitor. This smart design affords you the functionality of two separate instruments at a fraction of the cost. 6

7 ms-5000w METROSOFT SOFTWARE Metrosonics aq Series monitors are complemented with our powerful Metrosoft for Windows applications software. This comprehensive data management and reporting system offers the benefits of electronically capturing, storing, analyzing, manipulating and reporting indoor air quality survey results. Metrosoft takes the value, integrity and defensibility of your IAQ data to another level. EASILY RETRIEVE & STORE TEST DATA Once the air quality survey is complete, Metrosoft retrieves the data and stores it on your computer. Metrosoft s database searching features make it easy to find the files you want to evaluate. POWERFUL GRAPHING FUNCTIONS With Metrosoft you can create full-color graphs of your recorded data. A powerful feature is the ability to zoom in and enlarge plotted time history periods for more detailed examination of survey results at specific points in time. A scan line may be moved across the graphs to view the exact numeric data values represented by the graphs. Metrosoft will also calculate and display air exchange rate information for the graphed data, which is useful for determining how effectively the ventilation system is working in the area being analyzed. DETAILED REPORTS Metrosoft produces detailed reports and graphs of the data, which can be viewed and printed. The summary report identifies the average value, minimum value with time of occurrence, and the maximum value with time of occurrence for each parameter recorded. The time history report details all stored values with date and time stamp for each interval recorded. Sample Graph showing CO2, temperature and humidity Sample Graph of CO2 with Air Exchange Rate Information QUICK INSTRUMENT SETUP With Metrosoft the aq Series monitors can be set up for different test conditions in a matter of seconds. By simply filling in a form, you choose which channels will be recorded, whether you want survey mode or continuous datalogging, how often data will be stored, etc. Set up configurations can be stored for easy retrieval and reuse.
