The Clarity Multi-Gas Module expands the capabilities of the Node-S, enabling real-time measurement of CO, O₃, NO₂, NO, and NOx — five key pollutants that impact air quality and public health. Whether monitoring urban pollution, industrial emissions, or transportation corridors, this compact, all-in-one sensor provides high-quality data without the complexity of multiple instruments.

Designed for effortless deployment, the Multi-Gas Module features a weatherproof, UV-resistant enclosure and modular mounting for quick installation on both vertical and horizontal poles. With Clarity’s plug-and-play Add-On Module design, the Multi-Gas Module leverages the solar-powered operation and built-in cellular connectivity of the Node-S — even when paired with the Wind Module.

Multi-Gas Module use cases

CO and wildfires

  • CO is a by-product of combustion, emitted by both wildfires and urban sources
  • Wildfires produce significantly more PM2.5 per unit of CO than urban sources
  • The PM2.5-to-CO ratio helps distinguish wildfire smoke from urban pollution.

NOₓ and traffic

  • High NO and NO₂ levels identify traffic-related pollution hotspots
  • A higher NO-to-NO₂ ratio indicates fresh emissions near the source, while a lower ratio suggests chemical transformation as the air moves further away.

O₃ non-attainment and smog formation

  • Quantify diurnal pattern of NOx (morning, evening peaks) and O3 (afternoon peak)
  • Elevated NOₓ and O₃ together signal strong photochemical activity and smog formation.

TML’s LightHawk® Opacity/Dust Monitor offers advanced technology for outstanding performance and reliability as an opacity, optical density or dust concentration monitor. The LightHawk® utilizes a patented solid-state light emitted diode that is electro-dynamically pulsed by an oscillator at a frequency of 2500Hz. Unlike slowly chopped incandescent and laser light systems, this pulsed light source enables guaranteed rejection of sunlight as well as artificial light sources. The LED has a proven life in excess of ten years and is warranted by TML for eight years. This extended life ensures TML LED based opacity monitor is the least expensive system to operate in the world. With our op-amp and special electro-optical bench design, the LED light source is extremely uniform with Ultralow drift and requires no other light source for stabilization. Ideal for all opacity applications.

Lighthawk Model 560 Brochure

The heart of the Opacity/Dust Monitor is an electronically modulated (2400Hz), intensity controlled LED located in the Optical Head assembly. Light from the LED is projected from the Optical Head across the stack/duct sample area to a Retroreflector on the opposite side. The reflected light re-enters the Optical Head, where it is evaluated by a signal detector. If the stack is clear, the light transmission is 100% (zero opacity). When the reflector returns no light, the transmission is zero (100% opacity). Opacity can be correlated against a reference methods to calculate dust loading.
