Squair Basic Indoor Air Quality Monitor - AQI, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOC, Temperature & Humidity With WiFi & Mobile App EnabledSquair Lite Indoor Air Quality Monitor - AQI, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOC, Temperature & Humidity With WiFi & Mobile App Enabled

SQUAIR Lite measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCs, Temperature, and Humidity. It relies entirely on Wi-Fi and apps for displaying data. SQUAIR Basic adds Formaldehyde (HCHO) monitoring, an integrated Smart Display for live readings, and an RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) port for integrating with a Building Management System (BMS).

Yes. The SQUAIR Basic incorporates a Smart Display on the unit itself, providing real-time air quality metrics at a glance. The SQUAIR Lite operates without a screen, streaming its data exclusively to the AQI app, web dashboard, or television app.

Only the SQUAIR Basic tracks formaldehyde. It utilises a highly sensitive Electrochemical sensor. As formaldehyde is a common off-gassing chemical from MDF, paints, and adhesives, monitoring it is crucial in newly renovated or constructed buildings.

SQUAIR Lite is ideal if you require robust, app-managed monitoring for a home or standard office and do not need BMS integration. It fully complies with WELL, LEED, and ASHRAE standards whilst remaining visually unobtrusive due to its lack of a screen.

You should opt for the SQUAIR Basic if your facility utilises a BMS that requires RS-485 wired connections, if there's a risk of formaldehyde exposure, or if you prefer a screen on the wall so occupants can instantly check the air quality.

Yes. Both editions measure 12 x 12 x 3 cm, weigh 227 grams, use a robust ABS plastic casing, and require a 12V DC mains supply. They also share identical operating conditions (-10°C to 60°C).

The monitor incorporates a 90-degree Light Scattering (laser optical) sensor. This allows it to continuously measure all three particulate matter sizes by analysing scattered laser light, providing highly accurate readings.

It uses an NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor, widely regarded as the most accurate method for indoor CO2 tracking. It measures up to 5,000 ppm, making it superb for monitoring room ventilation.

TVOCs are monitored via a MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) gas sensor. With a 10 ppb resolution, it quickly identifies spikes in airborne chemicals from cleaning products or new furnishings.

Extremely accurate. The RTD temperature sensor is precise to +/-0.3°C, while the Capacitive humidity sensor has an accuracy of +/-2% RH.

The Lite edition supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The Basic edition supports both 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a hardwired RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) connection for industrial control panels.

Yes, but only if you select the SQUAIR Basic edition. Its RS-485 port communicates directly with BMS networks using standard protocols. The Lite edition cannot do this.

Data is accessible via the AQI.IN mobile application, the online web dashboard, the AQI TV App, and Digital Signage outputs. SQUAIR Basic owners can also read the metrics directly from the device.

Yes. The web dashboard allows you to create a secure, login-free web link. You can also generate a QR code that allows anyone in the vicinity to scan and view the live metrics on their mobile.

Yes. Through the web dashboard, you can export historical data as CSV, Excel, or PDF. You can filter by specific pollutants or set up scheduled automated reports for compliance audits.

Yes. The sensor types and measurement ranges of both SQUAIR variants meet the stringent criteria set out by WELL v2, LEED v4.1, and ASHRAE 62.1.

If your specific WELL v2 certification pathway requires monitoring formaldehyde (HCHO), you must use the SQUAIR Basic. For pathways that only require PM2.5 and CO2 tracking, SQUAIR Lite is adequate.

SQUAIR is deployed across various sectors. Notable clients include Marriott Hotels, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), InterGlobe Aviation, Indira IVF, and multiple prominent international schools.

Yes, it is highly suitable. Institutions like Heritage International Xperiential School have deployed over 40 units across their campuses to ensure safe and healthy learning environments.

Both the SQUAIR Lite and Basic come with a comprehensive 1-year manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and standard operation.

The warranty does not cover physical damage from misuse, incorrect installation, unauthorised repairs, or operating the unit outside of the specified temperature and humidity parameters.

You can raise a support ticket at support.pranaair.com, email support@pranaair.com, or telephone our support lines for assistance with setup or connectivity.

Yes. For multi-device rollouts in schools or corporate offices, our expert support team provides assistance with BMS integration, configuration, and post-installation monitoring.

Firstly, reboot the device and your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router. If it fails to reconnect, use the AQI.IN app to re-pair the unit. If the problem persists, please raise a support ticket online.
