1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather PM2.5 WiFi Indoor / Outdoor Particulate
Monitor. The following user guide provides step by step instructions for installation, operation and
troubleshooting. To download the latest manual, compatible devices, and additional troubleshooting
tips, please visit:
PM2.5 refers to particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller in diameter. This sensor uses laser
scattering to radiate suspending particles in the air, then collects scattering light to obtain the curve of
scattering light change with time. The microprocessor calculates equivalent particle diameter and the
number of particles with different diameter per unit volume.
