Auto Protect & particle levels
Understanding Auto Protect and particle levels
Auto Protect uses the laser-based particle sensor to take automatic readings
of the air in front of it and adjusts fan speed for optimal air purification in the
room in which it’s running. It’s important to note that air pollution is more than
just particles. While your device may show a low level of particles in the air, the
presence of other pollutants would remain undetected by the particle sensor.
Particle levels
See the concentration levels of PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0. As the sensor
samples the air, it reports how many particles it detects on a four-tiered
scale, from Good (green) to Very bad (purple).
Good Moderate
Bad
Very bad
Molekule’s particle levels
The scale and color levels on your Air Pro measure particle concentration on a
four-tiered scale. Your device sensor is designed only to reflect the presence of
particles in a cross section of your air, not the overall air quality, which would be
based on measurements of many different types of air pollutants. A “Good” reading
on your device may mean a low volume of particles detected in the air, but air
pollution is complex and based on hundreds of factors. The recommendations
on the following pages are based solely on the levels of particles detected by
the sensor.
