As one of the main killers of indoor air pollution, dust can cause serious harm to human health. In order to monitor dust concentration and protect the health of family members, more and more families are beginning to install indoor dust sensors.

However, how to correctly install indoor dust sensors to ensure their optimal monitoring effect? This article will introduce the installation standards of indoor dust sensors in detail to provide you with comprehensive guidance.

I. Selection of Installation Location

● Height: It is generally recommended to install it at a height of 1.2-1.5 meters from the ground, which is the height range of human breathing and can more accurately reflect the actual exposure of the human body.

● Position: It should be installed in the center of the indoor activity area, away from walls, furniture, and other obstacles to avoid airflow interference.

● Sampling Port: The sampling port should be kept unobstructed to avoid dust clogging, which affects measurement accuracy.

II. Installation Precautions

● Power Supply: A power supply that meets safety standards should be used, and ensure that the power supply voltage is stable.

● Wiring: Wiring should be carried out strictly in accordance with the manual to ensure that the wiring is firm and reliable.

● Calibration: Regularly calibrate the sensor to ensure measurement accuracy.

III. Installation of Different Types of Sensors

1. Light Scattering Dust Sensor

This sensor calculates dust concentration by measuring the degree to which light is scattered by dust. When installing, note:

● Avoid direct sunlight and strong light to avoid affecting measurement accuracy.

● Keep optical components clean and wipe dust regularly.

2. Electrostatic Dust Sensor

This sensor calculates dust concentration by measuring the degree to which dust particles are charged. When installing, note:

● Avoid installing in places with strong electromagnetic interference to avoid affecting measurement accuracy.

● Regularly clean the sensor electrodes to maintain measurement accuracy.

Indoor dust sensors are a “secret weapon” for protecting family health. Only by mastering the correct installation standards can it exert its maximum utility and escort the health of you and your family.
