The Toxalert AIR 3000 sensor works by monitoring the signal from the full spectrum sensor, judges
the degree of pollution, and provides a configurable corresponding output signal. Configuration of the
output (analog signal, stepped analog, relay, etc.) can be customized depending on the application. For
the unit to perform efficiently it must work as a sensor/controller, i.e. must be able to act upon level
changes. The output is represented as a single 0 - 10 VDC output which has four user adjustable
settings, corresponding to clean, low, mid, and high levels. This output can be used to directly control
an actuator, or be sent back to a Toxalert controller, a computer, or a direct digital controller.
The AIR 3000 sensor can be configured to run auto or manual mode and has an integral sensitivity
adjustment to provide the user the optimum settings to monitor a specified area. There are internal
LED indicators to show microprocessor status and also a manual override feature to assist in installing
the unit.
