Why monitoring dust
in mission critical?
Dust and particles can be a major issue in mission critical systems, as they can cause a variety of problems such as equipment failure, reduced efficiency, and increased maintenance costs.
One of the main benefits of real-time dust and particles monitoring using sensors is the ability to detect these contaminants early, before they cause significant problems. Sensors can continuously monitor the environment and alert maintenance staff when dust or particles are detected, allowing them to take corrective action before the contaminants cause significant damage.
Real-time dust and particles monitoring can also help to prevent equipment failures and downtime. If dust or particles are allowed to build up, they can clog filters, obstruct airflow, and cause equipment to fail, leading to costly repairs and lost productivity. By detecting contaminants early and taking preventive action, real-time dust and particles monitoring can help to extend the life of equipment and reduce the risk of costly failures.
Overall, real-time dust and particles monitoring using sensors is an important tool for maintaining the safety and reliability of mission critical systems.

No PC or Software Required
The InfraSensing sensors connect to the base unit (BASE-5). The base unit is a standalone device that has its own IP address in your network. On its own it will monitor the sensor and trigger alerts via email, SNMP or optional SMS when needed.
There is no software or PC required for the sensors to run.
With our optional Monitoring Software you can centrally monitor sensors with trending and more. This is optional and not required.
Wired or Wireless
By default all sensors are connected to the SensorGateway (BASE-5) using a CAT6 or higher RJ45 cable.
Using the optional Wireless Hub & Node modules, any sensor can be turned into a wireless sensor.
Wireless Hub & Nodes
Using the optional Wireless Hub & Node modules, any sensor can be turned into a wireless sensor.

RS485 (Modbus RTU) version
Looking to integrate this sensor with your own gateway or industrial control system? For large accounts customers or OEMs we now do offer a RS-485 version of this sensor. It has the same specs as the normal sensor. However rather than talking to our base unit and then communicate over industrial protocols with 3rd party systems, this version allows for native integration bypassing our base units.
It offers the same features as our regular sensors but with following differences:
- RS485 Modbus RTU output
- individually addressable using dial switch
- 256 addresses available
- 12-24v DC input
