Contamination Event Logger · One Per Rack

Record the Contamination Event. Preserve the Evidence.

A contamination event can last minutes. The chloride it leaves behind can remain for years. DustLog™ records chloride-laden dust at rack level — so when an event, failure or dispute occurs, the evidence is already there.

Every Rack

Passive & Tamper Resistant

Super-tough PET, no power and no moving parts. Mount once at the rack and leave it in place.

Long-Term Record

Months or Years of Record

Collects chloride-laden dust continuously, so the record exists before anyone knows an event will matter.

ISO 8502-9

Evidence for the Decision

Swiss laboratory chloride-load analysis to ISO 8502-9, supporting assessment after a contamination event.

The Hidden Risk

The Event Is Brief. The Evidence May Be Needed Years Later.

After a contamination event, chloride-laden dust can remain on equipment for months or years. If conditions later activate corrosion processes, failures may appear long after the original event. Without a retained rack-level record, connecting the later problem to the earlier exposure can be difficult.

Minutes

Contamination Event

Smoke, construction dust or an extinguishing gas release deposits chloride-laden dust on equipment.

Months or Years

Dormant

Everything runs normally. The chloride sits on the hardware — invisible and apparently harmless.

Any Day

RH Spike

A rise in relative humidity activates the chloride and starts chemical corrosion.

Afterwards

Reduced MTBF

Unexplained failures and shortened equipment life — long after the event was forgotten.

Was There a Contamination Event?

DustLog™ continuously records the deposited dust at rack level, creating a retained record that can be analyzed when an event becomes relevant.

What Does the Exposure Mean?

Return the sampler for Swiss laboratory measurement of chloride load to ISO 8502-9, providing evidence for assessment and clean-or-replace decisions.

How It Works

Mount It Once. Keep the Record Until You Need It.

DustLog™ works quietly in the background. There is no power, wiring or routine maintenance — the sampler simply stays at the rack until the record is needed.

STEP 1

Get Your Cards

Tell us how many cards you need — we recommend one per rack. Shipping is free.

STEP 2

Mount at Every Rack

Mount cards in seconds on rack doors and frames using the included adhesive tab. No power, wiring or routine maintenance is required.

STEP 3

Records 24/7

The sampler passively collects chloride-laden dust for months or years, building a record over time.

STEP 4

Return When Needed

When an event, failure or dispute makes the record relevant, return the sampler for ISO 8502-9 analysis by the Swiss laboratory.

When Evidence Matters

Install Before the Event. Use the Record When It Matters.

Contamination events are rarely planned. DustLog™ is already in place when they happen, giving you a rack-level record that can be submitted for ISO 8502-9 analysis when evidence is needed.

Construction Dust

Renovation & Building Work

Event: Drilling, sanding or demolition in or near the facility sends fine dust through the building and into the white space.

Evidence: ISO 8502-9 chloride load at rack level — before, during and after the work.

✦ Retained evidence for contractor-related claims and assessment.

Fire & Smoke

Smoke Events

Event: A nearby fire, an overheated component or smoke drawn in by the HVAC system.

Evidence: ISO 8502-9 chloride load that actually reached the racks — the basis for a clean-or-replace decision.

✦ Evidence that can support insurance and damage assessment.

Fire Suppression

Extinguishing Gas Events

Event: An extinguishing gas release — triggered or accidental — stirs up settled dust at high velocity and can carry combustion by-products into IT equipment.

Evidence: ISO 8502-9 chloride deposits at the equipment, not just in the room.

✦ Rack-level evidence of deposited contamination.

Warranty Disputes

When a Hardware Vendor Blames Your Air

Event: A hardware vendor rejects a warranty claim, blaming corrosion on your environment.

Evidence: Independent ISO 8502-9 Swiss lab report showing whether a chloride event occurred — recorded right at the failed equipment.

✦ Independent laboratory evidence for the exposure assessment.

Free Of Charge

Put a Record on Every Rack.

DustLog™ is free of charge, including shipping, for data centers and data center service providers.

Start with your rack count. We recommend one sampler per rack so the record is located where the exposure matters.

  • 2We Ship Free: Your cards arrive with mounting instructions — no shipping fee.
  • 3Mount at Every Rack: The cards begin collecting dust and continue for months or years.
  • 4Return When Needed: Submit the sampler to the Swiss laboratory for ISO 8502-9 analysis when an event or dispute makes the record relevant.
