1.0. DEVICE OVERVIEW
DSM501A
Dust sensor module
This specification applies to the characteristics of model No. DSM501A.
The dust sensor module DSM501A is low cost, compact size for a particle density sensor.
* Quantitative particle density measurement with the principle of particle counter.
* Fine particles of which diameters are bigger than one micron could be detected with
high sensitivity.
* Inside heater realizes the self-air taking.
* One control contact and two output contacts
A block diagram is illustrated in figure 1.1. The DSM501A consists of :
* Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamp
* Detector
* Signal amplifier circuit
* Output drive circuit 1
* Output drive circuit 2
* Heater

2.0. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DSM501A
Dust sensor module
This section gives a circuit description of the external connections and components of the
DSM501A. The following connections and external components provide starting points for
designs.
2.1. Vout 2
The Vout 2 is normal output port.
The sensitivity of Vout 2 pin is preset up. This port is detect particle which is over 1
micrometer.
2.2. Vout 1
Use this pin when sensitivity of Vout 2 is sensitive.
The sensitivity of Vout 1 is dull than Vout 2 about 2.5times. (Vout 1’s sensitivity x 2.5times
= Vout 2’s sensitivity) It means size of particle is 2.5 micrometers.
Vout 1 is adjustable output. You can adjust to detecting level of particle size.
2.3. Control 1
This pin is adjustable sensitivity of Vout 1.
Use this pin when output of Vout 1 is not proper.
> How to control
Add a resistor between Control 1 pin and ground. And you can tune resistor’s value.

3.0. APPLICATION
DSM501A
Dust sensor module
This section provides general information on application for the DSM501A.
3.1. Heater
This module has a heater (resistor) to generate heat. Heat creates updraft (upward current
of air) which draw air outside of the module into the module.
3.2. Detect particle
This module is designed to detect the particle whose size is over one micrometer, which
means it can detect cigarette smoke, house dust, tick, spore, pollen and mildew.
3.3. Install
The dust sensor module DSM501A should be installed vertically and kept away from any
artificial current of air by fans. In case it is used for air purifier of which fan located in
front or rear part, we request it to be installed at ether side of the housing, not too much
deep inside of the housing. Also need to have slit around the module so that air can come
inside.
In addition, please pay attention to structure and placing location of the application to
avoid any adhesive particle like oil, etc. to get into the module. If it sticks to optical part,
malfunction may occur.
When inside of the module is moisturized, it does not keep its proper function. Please
design the application so that moisturization of the module does not happen.
3.4. Lens
Lens needs to be cleaned depending on the condition. (once a six months) Cigarette tar
on the lens should affect the sensitivity of the sensor. Wet one side of swab with water
and rub the lens with it and then dry lens with the other end of swab.
