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

The Lite tracks PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCs, Temperature and Humidity, connects via Wi-Fi and has no built-in screen. The Basic tracks the same seven parameters plus Formaldehyde (HCHO), and it adds a built-in Smart Display for local readings and wired RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) links for BMS integration.

Yes, SQUAIR Basic has a Smart Display that gives live air quality readings right on the device. SQUAIR Lite has no display, so you view your data in the mobile app, the dashboard or the TV app.

The SQUAIR Basic is the only model that measures formaldehyde, and it uses an Electrochemical sensor that reads 0 to 2 ppm. Formaldehyde often off-gasses from building materials and new furniture, so this feature is a great fit for newly renovated spaces.

Choose SQUAIR Lite if you need reliable, app-based monitoring for a home or small business and do not need to link it to a wired building management system. It meets LEED and WELL standards and gives your wall a clean, screen-free look.

You need the Basic model if you want to connect the monitor to a Building Management System (BMS) via RS-485. It also suits you if formaldehyde (HCHO) exposure worries you, or if you simply prefer a built-in screen that lets people see the indoor air quality at a glance.

Yes, both share the exact same physical specs: 12 x 12 x 3 cm, 227 grams and a 12V DC power supply, and they also work in the very same conditions of -10°C to 60°C and 0 to 95% RH.

Both models use a 90-degree Light Scattering laser sensor that measures PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 at the same time by tracking how tiny particles scatter light. It has an accuracy of +/-10% for levels up to 150 ug/m3.

The monitor uses an NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor, which is highly reliable for detecting indoor carbon dioxide. It reads from 0 to 5,000 ppm with an accuracy of +/-3%, which helps you keep ventilation at a good level.

It relies on a sensitive MEMS gas sensor to detect TVOCs from 0 to 65 ppm. With a resolution of 10 ppb, it easily picks up emissions from cleaning supplies, paints and carpets.

The RTD temperature sensor is accurate to +/-0.3°C, and the Capacitive humidity sensor is accurate to +/-2% RH. Both are highly precise and respond quickly to changes around them.

SQUAIR Lite connects only through 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, while the SQUAIR Basic has both 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a wired RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) port for industrial and commercial networks.

Yes, provided you buy the SQUAIR Basic model, as its RS-485 interface talks smoothly with BMS platforms, while the Lite model does not support this link.

Your data is available on the AQI.IN mobile app, the AQI.IN web dashboard, the AQI TV App for large screens and via Digital Signage links. SQUAIR Basic users can also read it right on the device.

Yes. The web dashboard lets you create a public URL that needs no login, and you can also create a QR code so anyone in the room can scan it and view the live data on their smartphone.

Yes. The dashboard lets you export data in CSV, Excel and PDF formats, and you can set up scheduled automatic exports and filter the data by pollutant.

Yes. Both the PM and CO2 sensors meet the strict technology and range rules set out by the WELL v2, LEED v4.1 and ASHRAE 62.1 standards.

If your WELL certification tier calls for formaldehyde (HCHO) monitoring, then yes, you need the SQUAIR Basic. If not, SQUAIR Lite is more than enough for standard PM2.5 and CO2 tracking.

Major brands trust SQUAIR for their air monitoring needs, including Marriott, BCG, Indira IVF, InterGlobe Aviation and many well-known international schools across the globe.

Absolutely. Schools like Heritage International Xperiential School and the American School of Bombay have set up dozens of units to keep classrooms healthy.

Every SQUAIR monitor comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty that covers defects in materials and standard factory faults.

The warranty does not cover accidental physical damage, unauthorized repairs, or damage caused by running the device outside its stated temperature and humidity range.

You can go to support.pranaair.com to submit a ticket, or simply email [email protected], and phone support is also there for urgent help.

Yes. For large business or school roll-outs, Prana Air offers expert support for BMS integration, network set-up and the overall roll-out plan.

Reboot your router and the monitor, and make sure your network is 2.4 GHz. If it is still offline, follow the app's pairing steps to reconnect, and if all else fails, submit a support ticket.
