Sensor Air Quality Monitoring
Measure real-time concentrations of common air pollutants
The Thermo Scientific GM-5000 is a real-time air quality monitor that helps governments and industries in need of a cost effective monitoring network to measure pollutant levels. It is an industrial designed sensor-based instrument capable of full calibration, individual user interface and temperature control to ensure data quality and traceability.
Effectively monitor PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO, NO2,, SO2, CO and t-VOC within popular applications such as smart cities, traffic pollution, public health protection, industrial fence line monitoring, petro chemical locations and more.
Features of GM-5000 Air Quality Monitor
The GM-5000 Air Quality Monitor was designed to measure criteria pollutant levels and withstand extreme weather variables. The unit incorporates laser based particle counting for particulate measurement and electrochemical sensing and photoionization detector for gas measurement and provides unattended monitoring with continuous real-time data transmission to a central location and/or internal memory. High quality hardware and factory calibration includes temperature control with heated tube and inlet cooling to stabilize at 35˚C.

The GM-5000 Air Quality Monitor can connect to a device via WiFi or Cellular communication. The data may be viewed on a computer, tablet or phone running a standard browser. The same data is stored locally on a micro SD card and may be retrieved through a browser.
When connected over Ethernet or cellular the instrument will stream reports automatically at a user defined rate, as fast as one report per minute.
When connected over WiFi, users can download or export reports whenever needed. WiFi connection also allows users to interact with a Command Line Interface (CLI). It is an option to build a program that connects over WiFi and then polls the instrument data at maximum rate of 1 request per 10 seconds.

The GM-5000 Air Quality Monitor contains sophisticated instrument firmware that includes RH filtering, temp compensation, on-board diagnostics, and will minimize different gas interference. The independent browser based user interface allows for full control of instrument configuration and setup via Wifi or over VPN. All calibration parameters can be displayed and/or edited.
Routine service and calibration will keep your instruments up and running and maintain data accuracy.
Electro-chemical sensors
- Calibration every 3 to 6 months
- Expected life is 3 years from date of manufacture (2+ years in the field)
- Sensor board should be replaced as a unit – with all sensors replaced and calibrated
Photoionization Detector
- Lamp cleaning every 3-6 months
- Lamp and electrode replacement every year
- Expected lifetime is 5 years with routine maintenance
Optical Particle Counter
- Co-location calibration every 3 to 6 months, expected lifetime is 2 to 3 years
Other Components
- Basic cleaning of screens and filters every 3 months
- Blow dust off PCBs every 3 months as needed
Suggested Calibration Gas System
Gas sensors are gas calibrated at the factory and can be re-calibrated in the field.
- Provides “out of box” accuracy
- Allows users to track sensor sensitivity/decay
- Allows on-board interference correction
- Allows on-board temperature compensation
