A Closer Look at the PMX Particulate Sensor: Enhancing Safety and Performance

If you’re looking for a versatile and efficient option for automated particulate monitoring, EMX has the solution you need. Our PMX particulate monitor offers a wide range of advanced features that aid in a variety of key industrial applications. Let’s take a closer look at the PMX particulate sensor, as well as how you can leverage it for rapid and reliable particulate monitoring. Read on to learn more and talk to us today about how EMX can offer you high-performing sensor solutions.

What You Need to Know About the PMX Particulate Sensor 

With up to 30 feet of operation, this solution offers an intuitive setup that simplifies the integration process with both a PNP/NPN output and a 0-5V analog output. This analog output allows for monitoring, enabling external systems to activate exhaust fans as needed. This automation reduces time and labor, streamlining the process and enhancing safety. 

In addition, the PMX features 99 levels of relative light transmission, which allows for a comprehensive monitoring of smoke and airborne particles. There are two available options: circuit boards for OEM applications and NEMA 4x housings to protect the components while using a high-quality window for light transmission measurement. With adjustable threshold levels, you can tailor the PMX to better suit your needs.

With the PMX’s advanced features, you can experience greater cost savings. Typically, commercial hood ventilation is activated in the morning, staying active throughout the day until the facility closes. However, the PMX sensor allows for the ventilation to be activated and adjusted based on the amount of smoke generated on a case-by-case basis, which can contribute significantly to both energy and cost savings. 

Applications of the PMX Particulate Sensor

Commercial Kitchens

The PMX is a great option for use in commercial kitchen hoods. Smoke must be carefully monitored for safety reasons and this sensor is the ideal solution for this application. It detects smoke in the air, and ventilation only turns on once smoke is building up in the hood. The end user can adjust the PMX to alert to various levels of smoke, automating much of this important process and reducing energy consumption and costs in the long run.

Greenhouse Systems

The PMX particulate sensor can also detect changes in air quality, making it a perfect option for greenhouse systems since it measures pesticides in the air. Proper ventilation is imperative for greenhouses, and the PMX can help detect harmful pesticides and chemicals. This sensor is ideal for reliable and accurate environmental monitoring as well as enhanced safety.

Smokestacks

This particulate monitor is used to measure smoke presence in industrial applications, ensuring proper ventilation within smokestacks. The PMX is automated, operating only when needed, which helps cut down on energy costs while also adhering to important safety regulations.
