The Information Management System
The Information Management System (IMS) provides network management of the Sensor Suites, communication to the web-based user interface and integration to a facility’s Building Management System via BACnet®.
Air packets are drawn from individual test areas through the Air Data Router.
The air packets are routed sequentially to the Sensor Suite.
The Sensor Suite analyzes each air sample.
Smart signals are given to the lab or building management system for ventilation control.

The Sensor Suite (SST) is built on a scalable architecture to accept a variety of sensors. It affords distributed, multiplexed based sensing of the monitored areas and, as a shared sensor platform, minimizes calibration and maintenance costs.
Air Data Routers (ADR) convey air samples to the Sensor Suite from up to four distinct test areas via dedicated Architectural Wall Probes, Room Probes and/or Duct Probes, and the associated OSC/MD/OT. The router multiplexes air samples from the probes via onboard solenoid valves.
The OSC Structured Cable (OSC) is composed of a MicroDuct, a hollow inner tube used to transport air sample packets, interlaced low voltage power and data communications conductors, and a protective outer sheath. It is primarily used between the SST and its associated ADRs as the backbone for the Aircuity System; it can also be used between the ADR and any critical environment test area location.
The MicroDuct Tubing (MD) is a technology breakthrough composed of a fluoropolymer resin and carbon nanotube blend used to transport air sample packets from the test area location back to the ADR. This tubing provides a cost-effective solution for multi-parameter environments.
The OT Tubing (OT) is used to transport air sample packets from the test area location back to the ADR. The tubing provides a cost-effective solution for environments where only carbon monoxide (CO) and/or carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are being monitored.
The Room Probe (RS) interfaces to the ADR for room level sensing of a multitude of environmental parameters, including discrete temperature, and for drawing air samples back to the SST.
The Architectural Wall Probe (AWP) interfaces to the ADR for room level sensing of a multitude of environmental parameters (excluding temperature) and for drawing air samples back to the SST.
The Duct Probes (DPB) can be mounted on a duct or in an outdoor environment and interface to the ADR for sensing a multitude of environmental parameters, including discrete temperature, and for drawing air samples back to the SST.
