Snifter mA+ EX RF User Manual 11
6 OPERATION
The Snifter mA+ EX RF Dust Monitor measures the dust level in a gas flow by using
inductive electrification technology which is based on AC measurement of moving
particles which carry a charge.
There are two alarm signal outputs to indicate two different alarm conditions. In
addition to this, the front cover illumination will blink to inform about the current
alarm condition.
6.1 The alarm threshold factory setting values:
Alert: > 5 times normal dust level (during automatic setup)
Alarm: > 20 times normal dust level (during automatic setup)
4 - 20 mA output: After auto-setup, the dust level is set to 5 % of total scale ie. 4.8 mA
