Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor
Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor
The Trolex XD1+ is a compact, lightweight, and self-contained personal dust monitor that delivers real-time particulate data to protect workers from hazardous airborne dust. Using advanced Optical Particle Counting (OPC)technology, it continuously measures respirable dust (PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₄.₂₅, and PM₁₀) and provides instant visual, audible, and vibration alarms when exposure limits are exceeded.
Requiring no filters, pumps, or daily calibration, the XD1+ offers simple, reliable dust monitoring that integrates seamlessly with Trolex BreatheLITE and BreatheMOBILE software. It’s ideal for inclusion as part of standard PPE, ensuring continuous personal protection in mining, tunnelling, construction, manufacturing, and industrialenvironments.

Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor FAQs
Common questions about the Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor, including personal dust exposure monitoring, real-time particulate measurement, wearable monitoring, alarms, battery life and industrial applications.
What is the Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor?
The Trolex XD1+ is a compact, wearable personal dust monitor designed to measure a worker's exposure to airborne particulates in real time. It provides continuous particulate measurements while the user moves through different working environments.
What particulate sizes can the XD1+ monitor?
The XD1+ measures multiple particulate fractions including PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25 and PM10 across an approximate particle size range of 0.1–10 µm. This enables personal exposure to different sizes of airborne particulate matter to be monitored.
Does the XD1+ measure personal dust exposure in real time?
Yes. The XD1+ continuously measures airborne particulate levels around the individual wearing the monitor. This provides real-time information about changing dust conditions rather than relying solely on measurements taken from a fixed location.
How does the Trolex XD1+ measure airborne particles?
The XD1+ uses Optical Particle Counting (OPC) technology to detect and measure airborne particulates. Its open-path flow design allows the monitor to continuously analyse particulate concentrations while being worn during normal working activities.
Does the XD1+ warn workers when dust levels increase?
Yes. The XD1+ incorporates visual, audible and vibration alarms that can alert the wearer when configured exposure levels are reached or exceeded. This provides immediate feedback when particulate conditions change.
Where can the Trolex XD1+ Personal Dust Monitor be used?
The XD1+ is designed for personal dust monitoring in demanding workplaces including mining, tunnelling, construction, manufacturing and other industrial environments where workers may be exposed to changing levels of airborne dust.
What is the difference between personal and fixed dust monitoring?
Personal dust monitoring measures particulate conditions around an individual worker as they move between different areas. Fixed monitoring measures particulate conditions at a specific location. For continuous area monitoring, see the Trolex AirXD Dust Monitor. The two approaches can be used together to provide a broader understanding of workplace dust conditions.
How long does the XD1+ battery last?
The XD1+ uses an 8.2 Wh lithium-ion battery and can provide up to approximately 16 hours of operation per charge, making it suitable for monitoring across extended working shifts. Battery life can vary depending on operating conditions and use.
Can XD1+ dust monitoring data be downloaded and reviewed?
Yes. The XD1+ provides onboard data logging together with Bluetooth Low Energy and USB-C connectivity. Monitoring data can be transferred for further review, helping organisations examine particulate exposure patterns and changing workplace conditions.
Can MTI help with personal dust monitoring equipment?
Yes. MTI can provide guidance on selecting personal and fixed dust monitoring equipment for different industrial applications. We also provide product training and ongoing service and technical support. Contact MTI to discuss your workplace dust monitoring requirements.
