What is the difference between green, yellow, and red traffic light displays on the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM)?

A green display means that conditions are present which indicate a low likelihood of risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission.

A yellow display means that conditions are present which indicate a medium likelihood of risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission. If the display moves from green to yellow, occupants should take action, including but not limited to opening windows and turning on the HVAC fan.

A red display indicates that conditions are present which indicate a high likelihood of risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission. If the display moves from yellow to red, occupants should take action, including but not limited to ventilating the room immediately, reducing activities, and moving out of the room until the light changes back to green.

In each case, the user should determine the appropriate actions for their environment.

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) product description notes a 10-hour battery life. However, some restaurants and gyms are open for periods longer than 10 hr at a time. How can HTRAM be used in these circumstances?

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) includes a USB charging cable that can remain plugged in during use or can be plugged in periodically when the battery level gets too low. Cables should be secured to prevent a tripping hazard.

Is there a specific place in the room where the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) should be placed?

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) should be placed in the center of activity areas and should be close to breathing height (approximately 1.5 meters, depending on the height or age of most room occupants), away from direct sunlight, and not directly located near induction units, floor fans, or heaters.

How is the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) different from the other CO2 or indoor air quality monitors on the market?

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) does not just focus on CO2 levels. The technology monitors CO2 levels, humidity, and temperature, but of course, these will be different in spaces such as a library, with quiet talking, compared to a busy café with loud talking, or compared to a gym. HTRAM couples its measurements with user-controlled settings to account for these activity levels in order to provide a solution to fit the environment.

Honeywell is a trusted gas detection specialist and has a long legacy of developing gas detection solutions and building systems technology for a wide range of industries and uses. These range from solutions detecting potentially explosive gases in oil and gas production facilities, to gas monitors used to help keep workers safe from toxic gases when working in confined spaces, to sensors used to alert of a build-up of toxic fumes, such as carbon monoxide emitted by vehicles, in underground car parks.

Can the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) detect specific airborne viruses like COVID-19 virus?

No. The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) is intended to help monitor certain indoor air conditions and does not detect, warn against, prevent, reduce, or mitigate any virus. What it does do is provide users with the information they can use as part of their analysis of their need to improve indoor ventilation.

Why can the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) be useful in indoor public spaces?

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) would be useful to have in indoor public spaces, as indoor activities such as dining inside a restaurant or in-person learning in a classroom may increase the risk of potential exposure to airborne viral transmission more than outdoor activities because there is usually less fresh air in an indoor space. In this case, CO2 levels can be used as a reference point for exhaled air and an indicator of the risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission.

Effective monitoring solutions of CO2 levels, like this air monitor, can alert users when conditions are present that may increase the risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission.

What is the Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM)?

The Honeywell Transmission Risk Air Monitor (HTRAM) is a cost-effective air monitor for small- to medium-sized spaces, such as schools, restaurants, meeting rooms, and gyms that alerts users when conditions are present that may increase the risk of potential exposure to an airborne viral transmission.
