Pressac launch new smart indoor air quality sensor
Leading UK smart sensor manufacturer Pressac is to add a new indoor air quality (IAQ) sensor to its wide range of products.
The new device will help organisations ensure their buildings meet required standards and keep staff and visitors safe and healthy.
It will also play a key role in helping to improve the comfort of offices and making them places people enjoy working in, something which is key as staff start to make the shift from home-working following the pandemic.
The sensor, which is built around the company’s new multi-sensor technology, will measure levels of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and carbon dioxide, as well as temperature and humidity.
Particulate matter consists of microscopic liquid droplets that are so small they can be inhaled, potentially causing health problems – for example, dust, pollen, mould and metals. Pressac’s sensor monitors the very smallest particles (PM 2.5).
Volatile organic compounds can be found in things like paints, solvents, aerosols, disinfectants and adhesives. Exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and coughing.
High levels of carbon dioxide can also have a variety of health impacts, including dizziness, restlessness, increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.
The temperature and humidity elements of the sensor will also help to ensure environments remain safe and comfortable.
Jamie Burbidge, Product Manager at Pressac, said: “We’re really excited about the opportunities that this new sensor will bring.”
“Bringing together all of these different air quality measures in one sensor means that employers can easily see how their buildings and workspaces are performing, and react quickly to make any changes necessary.”
“Not only will it help to keep staff safe and healthy but it will also make workplaces a more comfortable and enjoyable place to be.”
Real-time data from the sensors can be sent to a local network or the cloud — via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi — using Pressac’s smart gateway, which includes ready-made connections to MQTT, IBM Watson IoT, AWS loT Core, Microsoft IoT Hub, Google Sheets and Node-RED.
Later this year, the company are hoping to launch three separate sensors for organisations which may not need the full range of parameters in one device. These will combine either PM monitoring, CO2 monitoring or VOC monitoring with temperature and humidity monitoring.

Our wireless smart repeater is a cost-effective way to increase sensors’ range, allowing them to transmit data over a larger distance or where obstructions occur.
Measure the ambient temperature in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Our three-channel temperature sensors measure temperature at up to three different points, and can be used for water, air or surface temperature measurements.
Our smart gateways receive live data from multiple sensors and securely send it to your preferred on-premise or cloud platform, via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi. Enabling you to easily integrate sensor data into your systems.
Accurately detect the presence of people sitting around a table. The small, discreet sensors simply stick to the underside of the table and send an instant update when occupancy is detected.
Detect people going in and out of a single doorway. The small sensors are mounted above a doorway and send a message wirelessly each time a person enters or exits through the doorway.
Automatically detect open doors or windows around your building, including doors on cupboards, cabinets and fridges. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure the ambient temperature and relative humidity in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure ambient carbon dioxide (CO2), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter (PM1/2.5/4/10), temperature and relative humidity, all in a single sensor.
Monitor occupancy, light, sound, temperature and humidity, all in a single sensor. Producing near real-time, highly accurate data which you can use to ensure your room conditions are at optimum levels at all times.
Measure the energy consumption in any single-phase or three-phase cable from 1-600A. Wireless and self-powered, so they’re non-intrusive and maintenance-free.
Monitor the status of any equipment that has a dry contact output, such as UPS status, security systems, fire alarms or air conditioning units. They’re wireless and self-powered, making them easy to install and maintenance-free.
Turn ‘dumb’ meters into ‘smart’ meters. Pulse counters report the number of pulses from electricity (per kWh), water (per m³), or general meters (per count), as well as machinery and equipment with a pulse output.
