Honeywell IPM Series Air Quality Sensors
Honeywell Intelligent Particular Matter (IPM) Series Air Quality Sensors use laser-based light scattering particle sensing to detect and measure air quality. These sensors have a detection range of 0µg/m3 to 1000µg/m3. The sensors work by converting data recorded by the photo or light detector when the laser gets reflected off a particle. The IPM sensors feature intelligent self-calibration through their built-in algorithm that helps it compensate for sensor drift over a lifetime. These air quality sensors find application in air quality monitors, air purifiers, and air quality protection systems.

It’s weird being in a clean room because the air is actually clean. I’m used to air with a bit of particulate matter floating around, but how much is there and how bad is it? Honeywell can answer all of our “regular” air questions with the IPM Particulate Matter Sensor Series. These devices utilize a class 1 laser to shine over a sample of air that is automatically pulled into the sensor. When this laser hits particulates, an onboard sensor can detect the reflection, thereby allowing for extremely accurate counting, with the ability to count concentrations from nothing to 1,000 micro grams per cubic meter. The size of particles that can be measured range from 0.3μm to 10μm, and an intelligent self-calibration system simplifies installation. With the ability to use I2C, UART, and PWM outputs, and its ability to run for up to 8 years continuously, this particulate sensor is able to tackle any application.
