Welcome to the Alicat way.
You're busy, and the last thing you want to do is waste time wrestling with
your ow calibrator. We're here to make your life a little easier so you can do
what you do best. It's our pleasure to introduce you to your new FP-25:
• Detailed default SOPs give you an easy starting point to incorporate FP-25
SOPs into your air monitoring agency's guidelines, page 50.
• Calibrate any low-volume sampler, period. Laminar ow technology
makes your FP-25 just as accurate at 1 lpm as it is at 25 lpm, page 20.
• Direct Mode puts the FP-25 in the middle of the action, literally. Monitor
the ow conditions under the PM10 inlet without interference, page 16.
• Climb ladders less. Run BAM and TEOM ow calibrations from the comfort
of your shelter via Bluetooth communications (FP-25BT only), page 45.
• 1000 readings per second reveal oscillating ow rates. Take timed
measurements to smooth these out, page 27.
• Use it in any weather, from Anchorage to Miami. We've tested your FP-25
from -30°C to +60°C, and we have the sunburns to prove it.
• External temperature probe responds to ambient temperature changes
faster so your actual volumetric ow readings are always accurate, page 13.
• Any humidity, at any temperature.Your FP-25 is the rst ow calibrator
built with live RH sensing, keeping it accurate in high humidity, page 20.
• Backlit display with adjustable contrast is easy to read in direct sunlight.

• Monitor pressure during sampler leak checks. Internal pressure sensors
let you validate leak check results or troubleshoot problems, page 56.
• Change your STP to match any standard temperature and pressure
reference, or easily convert data to IMPROVE network references, page 35.
• Accidents happen, like your ow calibrator falling o the roof. We've
designed your FP-25 to survive drops, and likely still be in calibration.
• Sing in the rain. IP67 weatherproof connectors protect your FP-25 if it
starts to rain during your calibration.
• Charge it anywhere. A full charge powers your FP-25 for up to 12 hours. To
recharge, plug the micro-USB cable into any PC or power supply, page 12.
• Log data to your PC. Talk to the FP-25 serially using the USB connector to
capture all ow data for logging and analysis, page 38.
• Pack it your way. Keep everything connected, or take it all apart. The FP-25
hard case lets you store the device any way you want, page 9.
• Nerdy?We are, too. Read all about the FP-25's theory of operation,
including humidity, temperature, pressure and ow readings, page 20.
