NLII-DUST
Particulate matter room sensor
The sensor is used to monitor air quality inside buildings and to control ventilation (HVAC) and air iltration systems according to current levels of air pollution. The sensor measures the concentration of particulate matter (PMx), such as dust and various chemical substances in the air. The sensor is suited for indoor air quality monitoring, where is the need to monitor PM concentrations such as offices, school classrooms, homes, shopping centers, light industry etc.

  •  detects and measures dust particles in air
  • 0 – 10 VDC analog output for PM2,5
  • 0 – 10 VDC analog output for PM10
  • the sensor is suited for indoor air quality monitoring according to WELL Building
  • Standard defined by IWBI (International
  • WELL Building Institute)
  • does not require maintenance during operation
  • long life > 8 years

Description

Measurement is based on the principle of laser beam dispersion on particles. The human organism can dispose of particles bigger than 10 μm, but smaller particles will easy get deep in to the respiratory tract and can come through up to alveoli and then to the bloodstream. Increased PM concentration can cause respiratory irritation and lead to more frequent infections. Prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations increases also the risk of other health problems.
The sensor has built-in two separate analog outputs  according to the size of particles, PM2,5 and PM10, which are the standard indicators of particle matter air pollution. The current air quality can easily be determined by looking at the three LED indicators.
International WELL Building Institute provides the following particulate matter limits for indoor air: < 15 µg/m 3 for PM2,5 3 and < 50 µg/m for PM10.
Explanation of abbreviations and technical terms can be found on our website in the Glossary section.

LED indication description

PROTRONIX NLII DUST Particulate Matter Room Senso - LED indication
description

By a jumper setting it is possible to select the output, according to what the LED will indicate — see Jumpers setting.
White light:
Low level of PMx concentration. Excellent air quality but maintaining low concentrations of PMx is not cost-effective.
Greenlight:
Optimal balance of air quality and energy efficiency of ventilation, heating or air conditioning.
Yellow light:
The increased amount of PM, which can cause respiratory irritation and can lead to more frequent infections. Prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations increases the risk of other health problems.
Auto-cleaning
The sensor has a self-cleaning function, which is performed automatically once a week using a built-in fan. The process lasts 10 s and during it the measured data are not available.
Sensor failure indication
All three LEDs light up at the same time permanently.
CAUTION:
It is necessary to avoid the severe mechanical shock of the sensor.
