The PMS Particulate Sensor employs a field-proven combination of passive-induction and protected-probe technologies.
As particles flow near and around the probe, minute currents are dynamically induced into the probe by flowing particulate. A DSP processes the signal into an absolute output that is reasonably linear to mass.
Protective layers over the probe work in combination with induction-sensing to ensure reliable operation with all types of particulate including moist powders and highly conductive dusts. Maintenance is minimal and there is no need for an air purge.
For durability, the sensors are passive and free of electronics. The PMS Particulate Sensor is designed to be used with the DPM Particle Monitor in order to be intrinsically safe.
