Dust Control - The fine dust monitor
Digital fine dust sensor with high accuracy, long lifetime and free cloud solution.
The Highlights
Easy installation
The housing offers lateral flanges for direct wall mounting. Shortly after commissioning, the Dust Control analyzes the air.
- Direct wall mounting
- Power supply via power supply unit or +24V
- Set settings via app
- No programming required
No difficult to understand measured values
Thanks to traffic lights on the device or the degree of air pollution on the app and dashboard, the air quality can be seen immediately.
- Infinitely variable measured value traffic light on the device
- Percentage of air pollution
No monthly costs
The purchase price of Dust Control includes a basic license for the use of the Datacake platform. There are no additional costs for the use of the platform. The license includes the following functions:
- Alerts by e-mail
- Data storage for the last seven days
- Sending e-mail notifications
- Unlimited invitations for employees
- Own logo
- Control of devices
Cleaning function
Weekly and when required, the sensor automatically performs self-cleaning. This increases the lifetime and ensures reliable measured values.
- Self cleaning of the sensor
- Increased sensor lifetime
Measures A-dust
In addition to the internationally recognized classes PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, the sensor of the Dust Control also measures the class PM4.0, which corresponds to the class of „A-dust“ defined in the TRGS900.
- Measures PM1, PM2.5, PM4 and PM10
- PM4 complies with A-dust according to TRGS900
- PM10 complies with E-dust according to TRGS900

Further functions
Detects dust size
An additional measured value of the sensor describes the average size of the measured particles. This information can be used to determine a suitable filter.
Automation of filter systems
Thanks to the integrated switching function, external devices (such as filter systems) can be controlled directly via the potential-free output of the Dust Control or corresponding radio modules.
- Potential-free switching output
- Switches when the limit value is reached
- Individual limit value
- Perfect for energy saving
- Compatible with radio switch modules for retrofit
Field of application
Industry
The Dust Control supports a large number of different application scenarios where it is necessary to detect fine dust in the air, including
