Units supported by the BlueRange platform

A commonly known unit of electric current. Usually abbreviated as A.

The Air Quality Index is a dimensionless, standardized value (typically ranging from 0 to 500) used to describe outdoor air quality. As it is a pure index, it has no unit symbol.

Describes the radon activity concentration in the air, e.g. for indoor air quality monitoring. Commonly written as Bq/m³.

All absolute temperatures are represented in degree Celsius, pay attention that the notation is not CELCIUS. The UI representation is usually °C and rather seldomly degree Celsius.

Used to quantify the flow of a liquid through an area such as a pipe. Commonly written as m³/h.

A common unit for measuring volume, especially at larger scales. Usually abbreviated as m³.

The SI unit for volumetric flow rate, used to quantify the flow of a gas or liquid through an area. Commonly written as m³/s.

Decibel (A-weighted), e.g. used to measure noise level as perceived by the human ear. Usually abbreviated as dba.

Decibel-milliwatts, a logarithmic and dimensionless measure of signal strength, e.g. for WLAN, Zigbee or BLE. Usually abbreviated as dBm.

The unit degree (°) is used to measure angles. Commonly applied to specify the tilt angle of elements such as blinds or louvers.

A commonly known unit of frequency. Usually abbreviated as Hz.

The SI base unit of energy. Usually abbreviated as J.

Color temperatures are given in Kelvin. Temperature differences should also be given in Kelvin. The UI representation can be Kelvin or K depending on the context.

Describes a heating or cooling rate, e.g. for cold chains, HVAC systems or server rooms. Commonly written as K/s.

The SI base unit of mass. Usually abbreviated as kg.

The SI unit of density. Commonly written as kg/m³.

A commonly known unit of volumes. Usually abbreviated as l.

Used to quantify the flow of a liquid through an area such as a pipe. Commonly written as l/h.

Represents the total amount of visible light emitted by e.g. a lamp or light fixture. This is basically the amount of energy converted into visible light. A UI should represent this as lumen or just as lm.

This illuminance is e.g. measured by a ceiling sensor that measures the light reflecting from the below surface (and the surrounding environment). It will therefore measure the luminance and has to be calibrated to deliver the illuminance in lux. The UI can display the unit as lux or lx.

A commonly known unit to describe a length. Usually abbreviated as m. The constant is not written as METRE.

The unit measures speed and is commonly used with to monitor air flow, movement, or other dynamic processes. The UI can display the unit as m/s

The SI unit of acceleration, e.g. used to measure vibration. Commonly written as m/s².

The SI unit of molar concentration, e.g. used in chemistry or water analysis. Commonly written as mol/m³.

The SI unit of torque. Commonly written as Nm.

Nephelometric Turbidity Units describe the turbidity (cloudiness) of water. Usually abbreviated as NTU.

A commonly known unit of electrical resistance. Usually abbreviated as Ω.

Represents a switch or something else that can be either in an on or an off state. This is usually represented as either the text on or off or as a toggle.

All kinds or pressure should be given in Pascal, which can also be written as Pa. When representing an athmospheric pressure, a UI should use Hectopascal (hPa) as 1 hPA = 100 Pa = 1 mBar.

Can have a wide range of meanings, such as the position of a slider, the user configured brightness of a luminaire, etc,…​ Usually represented as %.

The pH value describes the acidity of a liquid, e.g. for water quality. It is a dimensionless (logarithmic) value and is usually written as pH.

Parts per Billion is e.g. used to describe the amount of parts of one material inside another, e.g. the VOC concentration. Usually abbreviated as ppb.

Parts per Million is e.g. used to describe the amount of parts of one material inside another, e.g. the number of CO2 molecules in the surrounding air. Usually abbreviated as ppm.

The SI unit for measuring angles, an alternative to DEGREE. Usually abbreviated as rad.

A commonly known unit of time. It’s the base unit to describe a duration. Usually abbreviated as s.

The SI unit of electrical conductivity, e.g. used for water quality. Commonly written as S/m.

Voltages are given in Volt, and the symbol V can be used by a UI.

A measurement of energy. Usually abbreviated as Wh.

A commonly known unit of power. Usually abbreviated as W.

The SI unit of irradiance, e.g. used to measure solar radiation. Commonly written as W/m².
