AQX4: A New 4-in-1 Environmental Sensor for Healthier Workspaces and Data Centers

AKCP Introduces AQX4 Air Pollution & Pressure Sensor: A Compact 4-in-One Air Quality Sensor that Ensures Indoor Air Quality is Healthy for People and Machines

KVMGalore today announced its support for AQX4 Air Pollution and Pressure sensor, a comprehensive 4-in-one air environment sensor for indoor air quality monitoring.

The AQX4 integrates four critical environmental metrics (temperature, humidity, static air pressure, and air quality index) into a single, compact unit. Engineered for versatility, the sensor is ideal for office spaces, industrial facilities, and data centers where maintaining optimal air quality is essential for both human health and equipment efficiency.

A Smart Approach to Air Quality
At the heart of the AQX4 is its advanced Air Quality Index (AQI) "scoring" system. The sensor specifically targets volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs), gases commonly produced by chemical off-gassing, plastics, and exhaust.

The AQX4 provides a real-time "pollution level" percentage based on gas resistance:
• Clean Air (0%): Gas Resistance ≥50 kΩ
• Normal to Warning (0–65%): 50 kΩ>Resistance>18 kΩ
• Critical to Max (85–100%): 5 kΩ≥Resistance>1.5 kΩ

"In data centers, air quality is often an overlooked aspect of uptime," says Nicholas Barrowclough, President at AKCP. "By monitoring these levels, facilities can create automated alerts to open doors or windows, ensuring fresh air circulation before conditions reach critical thresholds".

Technical Specifications and Compact Design
The AQX4 is designed for precision sensing and easy integration into existing monitoring systems:
• Temperature: Range of −40~85°C with ±0.5°C accuracy (at 25°C)
• Air Pressure: Range of 300~1100 hPa with ±0.05 hPa relative accuracy
• Humidity: 0~100% RH with ±3% typical accuracy
• Dimensions: A compact form factor measuring approximately 1 inch (25.24 mm) in length and 0.65 inch (16.64 mm) in height
