M5290 Particulate Monitor

The M5290 particulate monitor is suitable for measuring dust concentrations in Combustion, Incineration and other industrial stacks and is compliant with EN 14181. Having a 0-15 mg/m³ certification range, the M5290 sensor can be used at low or high dust levels. Due to dynamic ranging, the sensor is also suitable for much higher dust levels found in Power, Cement and Metals smelting processes.

The sensor is available as a standalone version, the compact M5290c or the M5290s which is combined with a EOI Control Unit to provide either a standard single-channel system or a multi-channel PRO system for an extensible network (up to 32 sensors). Using a multiple-sensor system based on a ProController allows other sensors from the EOI range to be added (such as Gas Flow, Temperature and Pressure sensors) for Mass Emissions Monitoring, Bagfilter Management as part of a CEM system including Gas Analyzers.
