DS1705A
Dust sensor for air purifier
1. Description
DS1705A is a dust sensor that detects the dust particle concentration in air by using optical
sensing method. An infrared light emitting diode (IR LED) and a photo-sensor are optically
arranged in this device. The photo-sensor detects the reflected IR LED light by dust particles in air.
This dust sensor can detect the small particle like cigarette smoke and it can distinguish small
particles like smoke from large house dust by pulse pattern of signal output. This sensor has the
interface of PWM, UART.

*1. Dust sensor can detect the micro size water droplet, like fog and mist, as particles.
Please do not use the dust sensor in fog place, hot bath place or near humidifier.
But the de-solved water droplet in the high humid air is under submicron size and the dust sensor
cannot detect this submicron size water droplet.

*1. Single low pulse width during 1000mS period is decided by LPO concentration.
In not heavily contaminated condition, 100,000 particle/ft3 of cigarette smoke, output pulse width of
P1 pin is the average detection result of average one micrometer size of particles based on cigarette
smoke during one second using eight second moving average.
The pulse width is calculated as follows:
- Typical LPO value of 100,000 particle/ft3 is 2% from Fig.1 data sheet.
- Output pulse width (mSec) = 2/100*1000(mSec) = 20mSec at 1000mSec interval.
*2. Low pulse width of a house dust is longer than cigarette smoke particle.
P2 can be used to detect large particle like house dust and pollen.

11. Notes for application
11.1 EMI and Power line noise protection and malfunction
To protect EMI affection of photo sensor signal from motor and high voltage source, another
bottom metal shield case could be soldered on electronic PCB’s ground by customer requirements.
Normally, top shield case is enough to protect EMI from outer electronic goods. However, to
prevent EMI from high voltage negative ion generator and power line noise from electric dust
collector, please install the high voltage generator in the opposite side from dust sensor also pay
attention to prevent power line noise by using noise filter. The malfunction of dust senor can be
observed by taping all holes of dust sensor completely not to penetrate dust into open holes of dust
senor. After making clean the dust sensor chamber and taping all holes not to come any dusts into
optical zone of sensor and operate the sensor. In this experiment dust sensor has not to show any
low pulse output. If it is interrupted by EMI and line noise, many Low pulse output signal will be
showed up. In this case, please consult to UNICHIPS’s technical team.
11.2 Dust Sensor install Method
When customer install the dust sensor in air cleaner, dust sensor must be installed vertically in the
place that is not affected by air flow caused by motor fan rotation. We recommend to install dust
sensor in the front panel side. The dust sensor can detect the water vapor as dust. Please do not use
dust sensor in vaporizing place like bathroom or at near air humidifier. Dust sensor use IR
wavelength LED and the visible cutoff photo sensor, but the irradiation by lamp light of optical
sensing zone will cause malfunction of dust sensor. Please protect the center hole shaped triangle
for dust sensor optics not to irradiate directly. Please do not close the bottom and top hole for air
flow to measure the dust. The center hole of PCB is for screwing bolt to system. Please use screw
PH 3 pie for fixing. Please pay attention not to damage the sensor optics and cover case. The
heater resister is installed inside of dust sensor for inducing the forced air convection and the
heated air flows from bottom side to top side direction. The heater resister’s temperature is
increased over 40℃ than atmosphere. So, vertical positioning of dust sensor is important for air
flow direction and speed optical zone. The air flow direction and flow speed can affect the signal
output of dust sensor. Please keep ± 5 degree position vertically.
11.3 Cleaning
Cigarette tar on the lens should affect the sensitivity of dust senor. Wet swab with alcohol and rub
softly the lens and dry. Normally wet cleaning is not recommended, because there is a case this
device is not satisfied with its characteristics by wet cleaning. If large particle such as home dust
are accumulate in the dust sensor optics parts, please consider the maintenance such as vacuuming
or blowing off the dust by air.
11.4 Sensitivity adjustment, customized low pulse output data control by MICOM
programming
Dust sensor sensitivity is adjusted by MICOM program. Customer cannot change the sensitivity by
volume resister. MICOM send the low pulse output data proportional with dust concentration.
Also MICOM can be programmed to send the communication code with system MICOM like code
for LED level or code for monitoring sensor life. If customer wants to use dust sensor to special

purpose like fire detection, MICOM program can be changed to send low pulse data for fire alarm
level warning. Please contact to UNICHIPS technical team for more information.

12. Test Standard for dust sensor calibration
The first standard is the certificated particle counter. (Metone, HACC)
The second standard is the master dust sensor and the master dust sensor is always used for the
process quality control of production.
This master dust sensor will be compared with the customer master sensor once every six month.
All dust sensor is calibrated by MICOM auto calibration program of dust sensor.
