uRADMonitor CITY is our professional range Air Quality Monitor, intended for ambient air monitoring in urban or smart city applications. It comes with 4 digital 1PPB gas resolution sensors for Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide and with an industrial range Particulate Matter sensor for PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. It supports a large number of connectivity options for data upload including Ethernet, WIFI, GSM/GPRS, LoRaWAN (EU868, US915, IL915, AU915, AS923, IN865, etc), NB-IOT, LTE-M. The data is automatically handled and accessible with the API, so the entire setup becomes plug and play.

Warning: By the nature of the technology used, any sensor can potentially fail to meet specification without warning. We make every effort to ensure reliability of all sensors but where life safety is a performance requirement of the product and, where practical, we recommend that all gas sensors and instruments using sensors are checked for response to gas before use.
We accept no liability for any consequential losses, injury or damage resulting from the use of the uRADMonitor products. Customers should test the sensors under their own conditions to ensure that the sensors are suitable for their own requirements and in accordance with the plans and circumstances of the specified project and any standards / regulations pertaining to the country in which the sensors will be utilized.
Sensors installed in schools in Cluj-Napoca
EN: MODEL CITY measures traffic and combustion gases outside the school: nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and ozone at 1 ppb resolution, plus particulate matter. For schools near busy roads or industrial areas, it shows what pupils breathe at drop-off times and during breaks, and which hours are better for outdoor activities. Combined with an A3 for noise and CO₂, it covers specifications that list urban gases.

RO: MODEL CITY măsoară în exteriorul școlii gazele din trafic și din arderi: dioxid de azot, monoxid de carbon, dioxid de sulf și ozon, cu rezoluție de 1 ppb, plus particulele în suspensie. La școlile de lângă drumuri aglomerate sau zone industriale, arată ce respiră elevii la orele de sosire și în pauze și care sunt orele mai potrivite pentru activități în aer liber. Împreună cu un A3 pentru zgomot și CO₂, acoperă caietele de sarcini care cer și gazele urbane.

Sensors installed in city of Bistrita, Romania
EN: MODEL CITY is built for municipal networks. It measures the gases regulated by the EU ambient air quality rules, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃, at 1 ppb resolution, plus particulate matter, and has been evaluated by AIRPARIF AIRLAB. Placed at traffic junctions, industrial edges and residential areas, it finds pollution hotspots and measures the effect of measures such as low-emission zones or traffic changes. It complements the official reference stations at a fraction of their cost.
RO: MODEL CITY este construit pentru rețelele municipale. Măsoară gazele reglementate de normele europene privind calitatea aerului, NO₂, SO₂, CO și O₃, cu rezoluție de 1 ppb, plus particulele în suspensie, și a fost evaluat de AIRPARIF AIRLAB. Amplasat la intersecții, la marginea zonelor industriale și în cartiere, identifică punctele fierbinți de poluare și măsoară efectul măsurilor luate, de exemplu zonele cu emisii reduse sau schimbările de trafic. Completează stațiile oficiale de referință, la o fracțiune din costul lor.
Air pollution is the single largest environmental cause of premature death in urban Europe and transport is the main source. The 2008 Air Quality Directive, now under review, obliges member states to cut exposure to fine particulate matter by an average of 20% by 2020, based on 2010 levels.
The National Emissions Ceiling Directive caps some emissions including particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NOx) at national level. A revised version of the directive is as of 2016 under scrutiny by the Council of Ministers and European Parliament. Across the EU in 2013, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is mostly produced by traffic, caused 68,000 premature deaths. The Dieselgate scandal exposed how Volkswagen had gamed NO2 emissions tests.
Ozone (O3) killed 16,000 and small particulate matter (PM2.5) caused 436,000 deaths in the same year. PM2.5 particles, microscopic specks of dust and soot caused by burning fossil fuels, can enter the lungs and bloodstream.
Air pollution has different particulate matter (PM) components – smoke, dirt and dust form coarse particles known as PM10 and metals and toxic exhaust from smelting, vehicle exhaust, power plants and refuse burning forming fine particles called PM2.5.
uRADMonitor CITY is equipped with all sensors required to compute the Air Quality Index as defined by several international standards on air quality and give a direct assessment on the pollution problem and possible infringements.
The 1PPB capability of the gas sensors means the “uRADMonitor CITY” is suitable for monitoring the ambient air. The sensitivity of the device allows identifying and tracking even the slightest pollution variations. The model CITY is designed as a fixed monitoring station, but with the optional GPS receiver and the optional internal battery it can work as a versatile mobile detector of excellent sensitivity. It comes in multiple variants, each accomodating one connectivity option to send the data online: Ethernet, WIFI, GSM/GPRS, LoRaWAN, NB-IOT, LTE-M. It works on mains voltage or 6V - 24V interval and uses little power to run. The data can be viewed
on a computer or
on a mobile device.
Your uRADMonitor unit is ready to be used outdoors. Install it on a pole or on a wall. Installation is easy. Make sure that nothing is blocking the air vents.

If you have a radio variant with an antenna, connect the antenna first. Next, connect the uRADMonitor to the power source. Be careful when working with mains voltage. Alternativelly you can connect the uRADMonitor to the power source using a DC adapter with voltage between 6V and 24V or via the USB port with a 5V USB adapter.
The device comes with an USB port, so the configuration settings can be customized via the USB connection. Consult your product manual for how to use
the USB connection.
The WIFI variant
Use a smartphone or a computer with WLAN capabilities to connect to the local hotspot spawned by your unit. The SSID is uRADMonitor-XX, where XX are the last two digits of the Device ID number. The key is the Device ID, in uppercase, as printed on the enclosure. Open 192.168.4.1 in your browser, and click the "WIFI" link to setup the connection to the Internet AP. Enter the SSID and key of your Internet Access Point. Read more in the WIFI configuration manual.
The LORAWAN variant
Configure the LoRaWAN network server details via USB. See the USB manual.
The Ethernet variant
This goes plug and play as it only needs an Internet Router with DHCP enabled : the uRADMonitor CITY will receive an IP automatically and stard broadcasting data without any other configuration requirements.
