Air Pro 2 Environmental Monitoring Station

The Sensorbee Air Pro 2 is a professional-grade environmental monitoring station that measures air quality, noise levels, and vibration data from a single compact device. MCERTS-certified for particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), this solar-powered monitoring station connects via LTE-M or NB-IoT cellular networks to deliver real-time data to the Sensorbee Cloud platform. Weighing just 1.9 kg, the Air Pro 2 deploys in under five minutes with no mains power required — making it the practical choice for construction sites, urban air quality networks, and industrial perimeter monitoring.

How It Works

The Air Pro 2 uses optical particle counting to measure particulate matter concentrations (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) alongside electrochemical gas sensors for regulated pollutants. Environmental data — including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, VOC, and NOx — is sampled continuously, processed onboard, and transmitted at configurable intervals over LTE-M or NB-IoT cellular networks. The solar-powered design with a 20 Ah internal battery provides autonomous operation without mains power, making it suitable for temporary construction monitoring, permanent urban installations, and remote industrial fence-line deployments.

Included Modules

Every Air Pro 2 ships with three integrated sensor modules as standard:

• Particle Sensor (SB4102) — PM1, PM2.5, PM10 optical particle counter for continuous particulate matter measurement
• Temperature Sensor (SB4602) — -20 to 50°C with ±0.1°C accuracy for environmental baseline data
• EnviroSense (SB4502) — humidity, VOC, NOx, and barometric pressure in one module

Additional gas sensor modules (NO2, SO2, CO, O3, H2S, NH3) and a sound level meter can be added at any time without replacing the base unit.

Why Choose the Air Pro 2

Most environmental monitoring projects require separate instruments for dust, noise, and vibration — multiplying equipment costs, setup time, and ongoing maintenance. The Air Pro 2 is the only monitoring station that combines all three measurement types in one device.

• All-in-one dust, noise, and vibration monitoring — a single station replaces multiple standalone instruments, reducing equipment costs and simplifying site logistics
• Solar powered as standard — the integrated solar panel and 20 Ah battery eliminate mains power dependency, cutting installation costs and enabling deployment at sites without electrical infrastructure
• Modular sensor architecture — start with particulate matter and temperature monitoring, then add up to six gas sensor modules and a sound level meter as your requirements evolve
• Cellular connectivity — LTE-M and NB-IoT transmission works where Wi-Fi cannot reach, with low power consumption for extended autonomous operation
• Individual calibration certificates — each sensor module ships with traceable calibration documentation for compliance reporting

Certifications and Compliance

The Air Pro 2 meets the certification standards that environmental consultants and site managers require for regulatory submissions:

• MCERTS (PM10 and PM2.5) — certified under the Environment Agency's Monitoring Certification Scheme for indicative ambient particulate matter monitoring
• CE Certified — compliant with EU safety, health, and environmental protection standards
• EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) — approved for wireless communication across European markets
• RoHS — free from restricted hazardous substances

These certifications mean Air Pro 2 data carries regulatory weight for planning applications, environmental permit compliance, and Section 61 consent monitoring on construction and demolition sites.

Deployment and Installation

The Air Pro 2 is designed for rapid, tool-free installation. The compact 145 × 200 × 80 mm housing mounts to any standard pole or wall bracket. At 1.9 kg, a single technician can transport and install the unit without specialist equipment or heavy lifting.

Typical deployment takes under five minutes: mount the bracket, attach the monitoring station, insert the SIM card, and power on. The unit automatically connects to the Sensorbee Cloud and begins transmitting environmental data. No mains power connection, no cable routing, no civil works required.

Applications

• Construction dust monitoring — real-time PM10 and PM2.5 alerts help site managers respond to dust events before they breach trigger levels or generate community complaints. Supports BS 5228 and MCERTS requirements for construction and demolition sites.
• Urban air quality networks — deploy a dense monitoring network across a city or district to map pollution hotspots and track air quality trends alongside reference stations. Suitable for Clean Air Zone and Low Emission Zone data collection.
• Industrial perimeter monitoring — continuous fence-line monitoring around factories, quarries, and waste facilities to demonstrate compliance with environmental permits and respond to dust or odour complaints.
• Port and airport environmental compliance — monitor ship and aircraft emissions (SO2, NO2) alongside port dust and noise levels for multi-parameter site compliance.
• Infrastructure and demolition projects — long-term environmental monitoring alongside major roadworks, tunnelling, and demolition activities where dust, noise, and vibration all require management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Air Pro 2 MCERTS certified?

Yes. The Air Pro 2 holds MCERTS certification for indicative ambient particulate matter monitoring (PM10 and PM2.5). Data from the Air Pro 2 is accepted for regulatory reporting and environmental compliance demonstrations.

How long does the battery last without solar charging?

The 20 Ah internal battery provides several days of autonomous operation depending on reporting frequency and the number of active sensor modules. With the included solar panel, the monitoring station operates indefinitely in most conditions.

Can I add sensors after initial deployment?

Yes. The modular design accepts up to six gas sensor modules and a sound level meter at any time. Modules are plug-and-play — the base unit detects new sensors automatically, so you can expand your monitoring capability without replacing the station.

What data platform does it use?

The Air Pro 2 transmits data to the Sensorbee Cloud using the LwM2M protocol. The cloud platform provides real-time dashboards, historical data analysis, automated threshold alerts, and data export in standard formats.

Does it need mains power?

No. The Air Pro 2 is designed for solar-powered autonomous operation. A 5–24 VDC input is available if mains or generator power is preferred, but it is not required.

What connectivity does it use?

The Air Pro 2 connects via LTE-M or NB-IoT cellular networks using a standard nano SIM card. These low-power wide-area network technologies provide reliable coverage across rural and urban environments without Wi-Fi dependency.
