uRADMonitor model A4, in its latest hardware version 5, uses a MEMs sensor to measure air temperature and humidity. A MOX VOC sensor measures
volatile organic compounds.
A high quality laser scattering sensor is used to detect the
Particulate Matter PM1 / PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentration in air. There are four electrochemical sensors, one for
formaldehyde (CH2O), another one for Ozone (O3), one for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and a fourth one for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). A nondispersive infrared sensor for CO2.
Everything is encapsulated under a high quality Stevenson Shield ready for outdoor use.
Picture: uRADMonitor A4 has a modular design with sensors on a separate board that can be replaced all together easily
| Sensor | Parameter | Minimum value | Maximum value |
| MEMs | Temperature | -20 °C | +65 °C |
| Humidity | 0% RH | 100% RH |
| Laser scattering | PM1.0 | 0 μg/m³ | 1000 μg/m³ |
| PM2.5 | 0 μg/m³ | 1000 μg/m³ |
| PM10 | 0 μg/m³ | 1000 μg/m³ |
| Electrochemical | Formaldehyde | 0 ppm | 5 ppm |
| Electrochemical | Ozone | 0 ppm | 10 ppm |
| Electrochemical | Carbon Monoxide | 0 ppm | 500 ppm |
| Electrochemical | Nitrogen Dioxide | 0 ppm | 20 ppm |
| NDIR | Carbon Dioxide | 400 ppm | 5000 ppm |
| MOX | VOC | 0 | 10mg/m3 |
On MODEL A4 pre HW5, VOC concentration is provided as a simple score 0 - 3 to reflect air quality
Model A4 is a cost-effective, automated multiparameter monitor equipped with eight high-quality digital sensors that measure a total of 11 air quality parameters. While it is not as sensitive as the larger
model CITY (meaning some readings can come as flat lines when under the detection threshold), it offers an excellent balance between performance and affordability, making it a practical choice for many applications. It is capable of contributing to ambient air quality characterization by monitoring the major pollutants that have the greatest impact on human health.
Your uRADMonitor unit can be mounted both indoors and outdoors. Its enclosure offers protection to the elements, including sun, rain and snow. A covered spot with some shadow if installed in the free air, is ideal. The stevenson shield enclosure has large air vents, make sure that nothing is blocking them and air can circulate freely. The enclosure has pole / wall-mounting brackets, making installation easy.
Connect the uRADMonitor to the power source using the USB-C cable and the provided USB 5V Adaper.
uRADMonitor Model A4 Works via WIFI
Use a smartphone or a computer with WLAN capabilities to connect to the local hotspot spawned by your A4 unit. The SSID is uRADMonitor-XX, where XX are the last two digits of the Device ID number. The key is the "uradmonitor", in lowercase and without the quotes. You can change this default password later on. Open 192.168.4.1 in your browser, and click the "CONFIG" link to setup the connection to the Internet AP. Enter the SSID and key of your Internet Access Point. If the connection fails, you will see the status message, and three consecutive beeps will indicated the problem. Alternatively you can change the configuration using the USB data port. See the
USB manual.
Remember, the Wifi settings can be customized via the USB connection. Consult your product manual for complete details.
