Monitoring devices for air filtration systems

A monitoring device for a filtration system comprising:

• a first fluid connection fitting;
• a second fluid connection fitting;
• a differential pressure sensor in fluid communication with the first fluid connection fitting and the second fluid connection fitting;
• a control circuit configured to receive signals from the differential pressure sensor;
• a housing, wherein the differential pressure sensor and the control circuit are all disposed within the housing;
• and
• a communications circuit comprising an antenna, wherein the monitoring device is configured to transfer data related to the pressure sensors to an external data network.

A method of remotely monitoring a dust collector system comprising:

• mounting a monitoring device on or adjacent to the dust collector system;
