Today, we’re introducing you to our automated Vaisala Ultrasonic Weather Station, which provides weather data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, direction, and rainfall. There are no moving parts, and it’s very easy to service with the Vaisala on top. We have it connected to our WASP Datalogger that sends data automatically to our […]

Today we’re demonstrating how to replace a PM module in the Aeroqual Dust Sentry or AQS 1 Monitors.   Removing the Module Once you identify the module to be removed, you’ll need to raise the inlet out of the module. To do so, take off the cyclone and TSP heads. Just unscrew the top and

  Today we’re demonstrating how to calibrate your BSWA Sound Level Meter with your Aeroqual Dust Sentry and a CAL200 half-inch calibrator. You can use any half-inch standard microphone field calibrator. The first thing that you want to do is remove the windscreen from the microphone assembly. Look for the upper seam in the windscreen

Today we’re demonstrating how to assemble a 24 Volt lithium iron phosphate battery solar kit with the Delta Link and a simulated solar panel on a benchtop power supply. Installing the Batteries The first thing we’re going to do is take our power extension cables out so we can install our batteries. Take the two

Today, we’re going do a quick overview of the slope monitoring system using load sensing nodes. Equipment (from top to bottom) Vaisala all-in-one weather station – this measures precipitation, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, and direction. Solar panel – this is used to power the weather station. On/Off Switch – behind the solar panel

Hey guys. Mick from Specto Technology here. Today I’m going to show you how to change the filters on your Dust Sentry Pro. Your Dust Sentry Pro has two filters – a sample filter (labeled DQ) and a purge filter (labeled BQ). To change the filters: Pull the filter out from the cassette. Remove the filter from the connectors – just pull them out of the connectors. Attach the new filter into the connectors, making sure the arrow is pointing to the top so that you have the right flow direction. …

Hey guys, Mick from Specto Technology here. Today I’m going to show you how to do a leak check on your Dust Sentry Pro. Remove the TSP head off of the monitor. Connect the vacuum gauge on the top (push connect). Grab the purge tubing and pinch it. When you pinch it, you’ll see that you get a vacuum in the system. We’re creating a vacuum so that we can see if there’s a leak. Turn the monitor off and now look at the vacuum gauge. If the vacuum gauge…

Hey guys. Mick from Specto here. Today I’m going to show you how to adjust the flow rate on your Aeroqual Dust Sentry Pro. Checking the Flow Rate We’re going to be using a rotameter, or a flow meter, which shows you the flow rate in liters per minute. The flow rate for a Dust Sentry Pro is one liter per minute. Turn the unit on. Remove the TSP head. We have a push connect, so you just want to push that down on top of the inlet until you hear a…

Hey guys, Mick from Specto Technology here. Today, I’m going to show you how to calibrate a VOC module in the Aeroqual AQS1 monitor. So, what we’re going to do is take you through how to connect the gas cylinders up to the monitor, and then take you through the software and how you actually update the calibration curve on Aeroqual Cloud. Service Kit So, the first thing we’re going to do is just show you the hardware that we’re using here. So, this is in your service kit. This is a flow regulator at 0.1 liters per minute, a hundred milliliters per minute. Then you have some tubing. This is Teflon tubing. It doesn’t absorb any contaminants. So, it’s clean…
