GRIT’s Dust Bin Sensor transforms dust management in your shop. The sensor uses infrared technology to track bin levels continuously. A bright strobe light activates when bin needs emptying. The system connects directly to your GRIT App dashboard. You can monitor bin status from anywhere in your shop. The adjustable sensor fits any dust collection bin. Shop owners save time by eliminating manual bin checks.
The remote strobe light offers flexible mounting options. You can position it up to 8 feet from the sensor. This ensures maximum visibility in busy shop environments. The bright alert cuts through noise and catches attention immediately.
Infrared technology delivers reliable fill-level detection. You can adjust settings between 4- to 6- inches from the lid. This customization helps you maximize bin capacity. The sensor works with both wet and dry materials.
Installation takes minutes on any bin shape or size. The Dust Bin Sensor runs on 12V DC power (from the GRIT 12v Power Bank), which in turn, supplies the low-voltage required to power the Strobe Light.
The GRIT App integration enhances monitoring capabilities. You receive real-time updates about bin status.
GRIT’s Dust Bin Sensor can help prevent overflow incidents. Your dust collection system maintains peak efficiency. Workers focus on their tasks without interruption. The automated monitoring reduces maintenance oversights.
F.A.Q.
Q. How does the sensor detect when the bin is full?
A. The sensor uses capacitive sensing technology to detect material levels through the bin wall, providing reliable monitoring without direct contact with the dust.
Q. Will this work with my existing dust collection system?
A. Yes, the sensor is compatible with all dust collection systems and integrates seamlessly with the GRIT Automation platform. It requires a GRIT Hub for operation.
Q. What happens if I lose power or network connectivity?
A. The sensor automatically reverts to a safe state if power or connectivity is lost. Your dust collection system will continue to function normally until connectivity is restored.
Q. How accurate is the bin level detection?
A. The sensor is calibrated to alert when bins reach 80-85% capacity, providing ample time to empty the bin before reaching critical levels. The exact trigger point can be adjusted during installation.
Q. What maintenance is required?
A. The sensor requires minimal maintenance – just cleaning of the sensor face to remove any built-up dust when emptying the bin. There are no moving parts to wear out or replace.
