The Orion AQM-Gas measures the most common gaseous pollutants nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen monoxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3), with near-reference measurement performance. Includes the basic meteorological parameters of temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.

With an enclosure made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, and a protective rating of IP65, the AQM sensors are built to withstand industrial environments.

Gas Measurement Performance

Gas Range Detection Limit Field Accuracy
NO2 2000 ppb 5 ppb ±20 ppb
NO 2000 ppb 5 ppb ±60 ppb
CO 10000 ppb 10 ppb ±350 ppb
O3 2000 ppb 5 ppb ±30 ppb

*90 % confidence interval in comparing with reference instrument, includes T and %RH dependence in typical field conditions and sensor drift during calibration interval. Electrochemical cell replacement interval 12–24 months, depending on local conditions.
