The AIR X range of particulate monitors allows you to design, monitor and control your air quality systems in hazardous industrial environments, in real time — wherever and whenever it’s needed.
The Trolex TX8005 AIR XD Dust Monitor is a 4G-enabled open path, full spectrum, real-time area dust monitor for harsh and hazardous environments. No filters, no pumps, no moving parts and no messing around. Just real-time dust monitoring and data whenever you need it.

AIR XD operates a protective thermal cut-out sequence when the temperature inside the instrument exceeds the maximum operating temperature of 45 °C.
This protective measure is in place to maintain the lifespan and operating functionality of the optical sensor assembly when the AIR XD is installed in environments with high ambient temperatures.
If the internal temperature of the instrument is suspected to be below -10°C, for example, if it has been left powered off for a period of time in a very cold environment, damage to the optical assembly may occur when power is applied.
Allow the instrument to reach safe operating temperature before applying power.
No. The Group I manual states that the USB connector on the base of the equipment shall only be connected to the Trolex TX8805 AIR XD USB Drive in the hazardous area.
USB drives with no power source, such as standard USB sticks, may be connected to the USB connector in the safe area for test purposes.
AIR XD is designed to allow infrequent pressure washing during maintenance schedules, but the inlet cap must be closed first.
Keep an appropriate distance between the pressure washer and the instrument, and do not direct the water jet at the underside of the instrument because water must not enter the air flow path.
Yes. The AIR XD provides in and out RS485 terminals so multiple MODBUS devices can be daisy-chained.
Some network installations may require a termination resistor across RS485 lines A and B.
Yes. The AIR XD, XD1+, and XD ONE manuals state that readings will include atomised or misted sizes that pass through the sensor within the particle detection range.
When locating or operating a monitor near atomising dust suppression systems or moist spray, consider that the instrument may count those particles as part of the measured particulate environment.
The AIR XS manual is explicit that real-time monitoring is indicative and is not currently suitable for compliance monitoring or regulatory compliance for RCS. Other particulate manuals frame the devices as warning, monitoring, logging, and analysis tools that must be used within their stated limits.
Always align alarm thresholds, interpretation, and reporting with local legislation, site rules, and the applicable manual.
Yes, via MODBUS RTU (RS485) or MODBUS TCP/IP (Ethernet) for integration with SCADA systems and Aethair’s Thiamis.
