Acer AMP220 Air Monitor Pro User Guide

First off

Congratulations on your purchase of Acer Air Monitor Pro. It is a first, positive step in helping you improve the air you breathe and your quality of life. This simple device monitors the air quality within its immediate surroundings.

The Air Monitor Pro allows you to monitor critical indicators of indoor air quality.

These are:

• The Air Monitor allows you to monitor six critical indicators of indoor air quality. These are:
• Temperature – This metric directly relates to comfort and mood.
• Humidity – Moisture leads to colds, flus, and risk of toxic mold formations.
• VOCs – Volatile Organic Compounds are toxic chemicals that can cause skin and respiratory irritation.
• Particulates – PM2.5/PM10 (fine/coarse particulate matter) travels deep into our respiratory system and can trigger asthma, allergies and other related health problems.
• CO2 – Carbon dioxide content in the fresh air is typically measured around 400 PPM (Parts Per Million), depending on the location. People in a high CO2 environment will feel drowsy, dizzy, have headaches, and experience hearing and visual dysfunction. It may also cause unresponsiveness and decision delay.
• Formaldehyde – One of volatile organic matter indoor. From the toxicology research, it has been confirmed as carcinogenic substances. Formaldehyde can stimulate human skin, respiratory tract, central nervous system and cause other unhealthy effects.
• CO – Carbon monoxide is toxicity to human body. People in a high CO environment will feel dizziness, headache, dyspnea and may cause other poisoning phenomenon.
• O3 – Oxygen is an irritant gas. It can stimulate the eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause cough, chest discomfort and other symptoms.

Air Monitor Pro AMP220 series are configurable. You can choice sensor and wireless configuration for your environmental applications. To verify your Air Monitor model, please check the label located on the back of the Air Monitor.
