Page 4: General Description
As the Air XS processes and analyses particulate data, an adaptive algorithm is used to calculate and identify the average level of RCS from the overall particle count. Measurement information can be viewed via the instrument display or as historical readings using the accompanying Trolex Breathe application software. -

Page 11: Tx8100 Air Xs Rcs Monitor
5.1 TX8100 Air XS Silica Monitor The Air XS RCS monitor uses a custom particle sensor that is located inside a robust stainless-steel housing. This provides isolation and ingress protection between the particle flow path and the main control circuits. Control circuits are housed in a lockable, IP66 rated steel enclosure. Information and settings can be accessed using the keypad and display located on the front of the instrument. -
Page 12: Particulate Flow Path
5.2 Particle flow path The Air XS has been designed with the ability to restrict ingress through the particulate flow path during routine maintenance and cleaning periods. A rotational top cap is used to open or close the particle flow path to provide ingress protection during cleaning. -
Page 13: Peripherals And Accessories
5.3 Peripherals and accessories Power supply The Air XS can be connected to a standard 100V - 240V AC power supply OR a 9 – 18V dc power supply. Before connecting a power supply to the instrument, ensure that the supply source is compatible with the instrument and information outlined on the appropriate rating plate. -

Page 22: Commissioning
9. COMMISSIONING Once installed and powered for first time use, the Air XS will begin to monitor and sample the passing environmental particulates. The first-generation Air XS does not allow for custom user parameters or set-up adjustment. 9.1 First power on Prior to commissioning and first use, the instrument should be inspected for any visible damage and integrity of the enclosure. -
Page 23: First-Generation Functionality
9.4 Application software The Trolex Breathe application software is available for download and installation from the Trolex website and is specifically designed for the import and review of data sets collected by the Air XS instrument. Note: The Trolex Breathe application software is not required for general Air XS operation. -
