Guardian I Sensor
Guardian I Settled Dust Sensor
The Guardian I uses a patent pending capacitance technique to detect the amount of settled dust accumulated on it's surface. Each Guardian is calibrated to your speciifc dust type to provide results that closely represent an output that people will understand. The cloud based application can provide notifications based on user defined alarms or limits. The dash board also provides accumulation trends and rates, which can help in planning your preventative maintenance schedule.
