The newest setting on BreatheLITE for XD1+ brings a local correction factor feature which allows you to utilise and upload up to 5 external testing results to correlate and align with XD1+ recorded data over a set time period, for a more accurate and relevant data set, helping you to manage your exposure to dust. 

The local correction factor feature gives you the opportunity to have complete control over the data you gain from both XD1+ and any external testing you’ve had completed, such as gravimetric sampling, then keep record of both data sets and set a localisation parameter of all the data collected for specific exposure times. 

Whether you’re utilising data from reference sampling methods, or against another dust measurement device, this localisation feature allows you to automatically align and adjust collected XD1+ dust data, based on specific locations, environments or tasks, providing additional references for further accuracy and contextualisation of data. 

A suitable feature if you’re working in occupational hygiene and health and safety roles, by providing additional, relevant information, centralised all in one platform, simplifying the process of controlling exposure to hazardous dust and ultimately improving the accuracy of your dust monitoring.  

XD1+ and other real-time monitoring isn’t to be used instead of legislative or reference sampling methods, rather alongside it for an extra layer of data and accuracy. Now, with the BreatheLITE local correction factor feature, you’re able to see both data sets, side-by-side, and use XD1+ and BreatheLITE to determine exactly what you’re exposed to. 

XD1+  and supporting software provides state-of-the-art local correction factor feature for all workers and workplaces, in a way no other similar products currently on the market are capable of for no additional or hidden costs. 

The first part is the camera bracket itself.

The Connected Camera feature operates a unique, in-house manufactured bracket, which sits above the XD1+ and allows you to record all relevant processes and activities in your working day without distracting, restricting or interrupting your workforce and them doing their job. 

The bracket itself has been designed to house the Insta360 GO 3S, which records in 4K 30fps, and has a frame rate of 180 p 200 fps. This clear and defined recording ability, as well as the tough and durable nylon material used for the bracket, ensures that, like the XD1+, all recordings are accurate whilst remaining operable in all hazardous occupational environments. 

So, once you’ve recorded all the relevant footage that you need, all you need to do is upload the dust data collected by the XD1+, as well as the recorded video footage from Insta360, into our free BreatheLITE software.  

Now this is the exciting bit; all the collective video footage is time-stamped, and once in MP4 format, can be synced to the second from when the dust data has been monitoring for on the XD1+. Then on the software, you’ll be able to see the footage alongside graphs showing the dust data from XD1+ to show exactly what was happening during peak dust times and figure out what was causing certain dust spikes. 

This is a huge game changer for controlling your potential dust problem. You no longer have to second guess what, when or how dust became a problem. You’re able to see to the second exactly what your issue was and effectively do something about it.  

All this is completely free of charge with the XD1+ Connected Camera solution; there’s no hidden costs on BreatheLITE or a tiered or paid subscription requirements. Just effective, informative, useful dust monitoring and data analysis. 

XD1+ provides game-changing video upload compatibility with all its free software, for enhanced data analysis in whatever environment or risk your workers are exposed to, in a way no other similar products currently on the market are capable of. 

XD1+ has an operating temperature range of –10 to +50 °C, meaning it’s operable in almost any workplace and can withstand the harshest and most hazardous occupational environments. Most other products currently on the market cannot operate within such a range of ±60 °C. 

With the actual sensor itself,  XD1+ has a particle size range from 0.1 to 10 µm, ensuring every single respirable particle which passes through the sensor is measured for. Only a handful of similar products currently on the market monitor for particle sizes as low as 0.1 µm, but they don’t possess all the same features used within the XD1+ sensor, meaning that if you’re not using the XD1+, you’re simply not getting the most out of your real time personal dust monitoring. 

With a minimum resolution down to 0.001 mg/m³ and an aerosol concentration ranging from the same minimum (0.001 mg/m³) up to 150 mg/m³, XD1+ and the sensor used within the device is more capable of accurately detecting all airborne contaminants and specifically respirable dust. XD1+ is also capable of relaying all this data back to you quicker and more reliably than any other personal dust monitor can do.  

Another notable feature about the XD1+ is the sensor flow rate, which is the volume of air mixture which passes through the unit at a time. For some personal dust monitors, this is something which is very difficult to measure; but not with the XD1+. The flow rate stands from 0 to 1 L/min. So, for every minute that passes, at least 1 litre of particles is measured and accounted for, providing accurate measurement on total dust loads in your working environment.

XD1+ provides state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities for whatever environment or risk your workers are exposed to, to make their working day more straightforward, in a way no other similar products currently on the market are capable of. 

BreatheLITE helps you stay on top of XD1+ maintenance, with reminders when maintenance and calibration checks are due, alongside access to previous test overviews and PDF reports. This gives you a clear record of previous checks and helps ensure your XD1+ is maintained and ready for use.

XD1+ data can also be downloaded to your own cloud storage, while BreatheLITE can be used without Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. This makes it easier to access and manage your monitoring data when working in remote environments or where connectivity is limited.

As well as the device only weighing 170 g, XD1+ is also kitted with an alligator type mounting clip as standard, for positioning in and around your breathing zone to ensure the most effective monitoring as possible. Your personal dust monitor is no use if it’s not effectively monitoring around your breathing zone, so we’ve designed the XD1+ to do just that. 

XD1+ has a bright yellow protective case which comes as standard for the device, for both protection of the device to use in all hazardous occupational environments and visibility in restricted and arduous workplaces. 

XD1+ utilises USB-C and Bluetooth communication interface to connect with smartphones for the viewing of live and historical dust data, with BreatheMOBILE serving as the screen for XD1+ . This not only gives you complete control over your XD1+ device from even remote locations, but it also ensures the XD1+ device itself is suitable for all hazardous and harsh occupational environments. 

With all of this, XD1+ serves its purpose effectively, providing uninterrupted monitoring with a battery life of up to 8 hours, more than any other product on the market, including a charge time of only 3 hours to full. XD1+ ensures that all you need to worry about is getting your job done, whilst our real-time personal dust monitor protects you whilst you’re doing so. 

XD1+ has a ±10% accuracy for all the dust data that’s collected, whilst other personal dust monitors currently on the market provide about ±25% accuracy. That’s a significant difference, particularly when the data you’re getting is instantaneous and you’re needing to make important, informed decisions on the spot. 

To give XD1+ further measurement range and accuracy, those dust levels can be interpreted in mg/m³, as well as the standard μg/m³, allowing workplaces to interpret the data they’re getting in a way that’s best suited to their needs. 

Programmable alarms can also be set between a range of 0.001 mg/m³ and up to 999 mg/m³, giving XD1+ the capability to alarm for breaches of a full range of respirable dust as opposed to just a standard adjustable preset limit. 

On-device logging of dust data on XD1+ is much more user friendly than other devices currently on the market. You get 6 months data collected on device with XD1+, by a 10 second data logging, which is also adjustable up to 60 seconds, making it much more applicable to the process or application where you’re applying your XD1+ unit.

Most personal dust monitors currently in the market only log data from 60 seconds onwards after a certain run time, whereas with XD1+, that’s just not the case; once XD1+ is turned on, you ready to collect the dust data as soon as it started. Of course, on device alarms are a key feature of every personal dust monitor, but with XD1+, we provide a competitive edge for you and your workforce.  

Using the free compatible software, BreatheLITE, as well as mobile application BreatheMOBILE, which are both completely free, you’re able to not only pre-set TWA (Time-Weighted Average) alarms, but also use STEL (Short-Term Exposure Limit) alarms on the device, something which isn’t standard with other personal dust monitors currently on the market. 

We use audio horns, blinking LEDs, and vibration for alerting users when preset TWA and STEL alarms are breached, ensuring that no matter what environment or hazardous workplace you work, you’re better alerted to potential overexposure of dust with XD1+ than with any other personal dust monitor.  

XD1+ provides state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities for whatever environment or risk your workers are exposed to, to make their working day more straightforward, in a way no other similar products currently on the market are capable of.
