TROLEX AIR XS Silica Monitor
Real-time silica monitoring for workers at risk from respirable crystalline silica.
The AIR XS Silica Monitor is the first and only product in the world to detect and distinguish respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in real time. The AIR XS unit alert prompts workers to make intelligent use of PPE and RPE, agile process development and smart deployment of ventilation and extraction systems. Overtime detection and proper protection reduces costs, improves business efficiency, and ultimately save lives.

- Instant detection alarm
- Real-time, continuous measurement of atmospheric RCS concentration
- Real-time, continuous measurement of dust particle count
- High-reliability and low-maintenance
- On-device display readout
- High visibility warning indicators
- ‘Plug and play’ installation
- Switch on and you’re monitoring for RCS in 5 seconds
- Typically requires less than 5 minutes of maintenance per month
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Trolex AIR XS Silica Monitor provides detailed, accurate and real-time data on airborne RCS content based on the chosen installation environment. Using innovative optical refraction technology (ORT), the AIR XS combines a consistent particle flow rate with advanced sensing technology to provide information on airborne dust mixtures. As the AIR XS processes and analyses particulate data, an adaptive algorithm is used to calculate and identify the average level of RCS from the overall particle count. Measurement information can be viewed via the instrument display or as historical readings using the accompanying Trolex Breathe application software. The AIR XS Silica Monitor uses a custom particle sensor that is located inside a robust stainless steel housing. This provides isolation and ingress protection between the particle flow path and the main control circuits. Control circuits are housed in a lockable, IP66 rated steel enclosure.
