Palas® Device Fully EN 16450 Certified

As people pay more attention to air quality, the requirements of ambient air quality monitoring are also constantly improved. The certified monitors can help people cope with the challenges brought by air pollution via reliable data. Recently, Palas® Fidas® Smart System has been fully EN 16450 certified. Before that, Fidas® Smart 100 has guarded the air quality in Stockholm cruise port. Palas® will continue providing tailor-made and reliable solutions for ambient air quality monitoring in various environments.



Palas® keeps pace with industrial standard

On November 14, 2022, Palas® Fidas® Smart System received approval for PM10 from TÜV Rheinland. And approval for PM2.5 was already granted in April 2022. Now Palas® Fidas® Smart System is fully EN 16450 certified.

Palas® Fidas® Smart System uses the principle of optical light scattering measurements as well as an extended signal analysis. It can provide simultaneous and precise determination of PM10 and PM2.5. Keeping pace with industrial standards, Palas® Fidas® Smart System also shows the advantages of application on the basis of accurate measurement. Fidas® Smart 100 is fine dust monitor for regulatory measurements to determine ambient air quality. Its size is 240-320-190mm. Its compactness and integrated WLAN functionality facilitate wireless installation and enable fast deployment. Besides, Fidas® Smart System is available in different configurations and can operate constantly in 24 hours. This system can provide reliable and tailor-made solutions for ambient air quality monitoring in various environments which also help decrease power consumption.

Palas® guards air quality in Stockholm cruise port

Before Palas® Fidas® Smart System has been fully EN 16450 certified, the system, in accordance with EN 16450, has proven its reliability and adaptability in laboratory tests as well as field tests. For example, Fidas® Smart 100 has guarded the air quality in Stockholm cruise port. To monitor accurately the air quality, Stockholm relies on a tried-tested method: measuring devices from Palas®. The first Fidas® Smart 100 has been installed at the port of Stockholm, more to follow. Because with precise measurement data, invisible threats in the air can be made visible. And Fidas® Smart 100 also can be used to make reliable statements about the air quality on site and if necessary to take appropriate countermeasures.

Reliable Palas® monitors

Palas® stable air quality monitors provide reliable, continuous and flexible measurements of particle concentration and distribution, being able to identify the causes of particle pollution and predict its dispersion. They can be used for mobile walk-away monitoring, particle emission dispersion studies and monitoring of safe working conditions. In addition, they are also helpful in monitoring the air quality at roadside locations, both temporarily or in a long-term, construction sites or industrial plants to help people face a variety of air pollution challenges.

Palas® has now launched newest AQ Guard Smart Grid Monitor for Ambient Air Quality for the Chinese market, which is more accurate and reliable to accurately track hot spots.

AQ Guard Smart Grid Monitor for Ambient Air Quality

Optional data cloud platform, plug and play, real-time viewing of hotspot data:

AQ Guard Smart is a robust aerosol spectrometer for ambient air. It uses the measurement principle of optical scattered light measurement on single particles based on the technology of the EN 16450 certified Fidas® 200. Can be upgraded with a gas sensor package (SO2, CO, NO2, O3) and thus offers optimum options for evaluating the air quality. AQ Guard Smart can be operated over longer periods without recalibration. Deviations in the particle size determination and, therefore drifts of the PM values, are determined by a specific analysis of the particle size distribution and displayed and reported when a tolerance threshold is exceeded as part of the self-monitoring. AQ Guard Smart transmits measurement data via Palas® MyAtmosphere; when operating alone, the system can be operated by an external battery with or without solar support.
