2. General Description
Handheld Odor Meter is the most popular simplified tool for odor analysis which enables to
show the relative odor strength numerically by comparing odor gases and purified air.
The reading shown on the display is calculated based on our original principle.
With the installation of data filing software, measured data can be transferred to PC in easy
steps.
Odor Strength
Simply turn on the unit and start measurement.
Real-time relative odor strength can be measured continuously.
Odor Intensity
Odor Strength is converted into ammonia odor intensity by the scale of 2.5 to 5.0 (in 0.1 unit)
based on odor concentration of measurement environment.
NOTE Odor Intensity is determined based on Japanese Regulation that allows evaluating odor
level by 6 scales.
Peak-hold
Maximum odor strength level can be retained.
Memory Sampling Measurement Mode
Up to 511 measuring data can be saved upon selecting sampling rate: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 60, 120 or
300 seconds.
Data Filing Software
By using original data filing software, measuring data from the unit can be transferred to PC.

1. Place filter to suction nozzle.
2. Attach suction nozzle to the unit before measurement.
3. Use “AA” alkaline batteries or AC adaptor.
or
4. Turn on the unit at clean ambient.
It takes about 10 min for the unit initializing and start measuring.
NOTE The unit sets “zero” point when the initializing is done.
NOTE To get the zero point stable, initializing at clean environment is recommended.

3-3. Peak-hold Function
Press for over 3 seconds during Real-time sampling.
By using this function, the highest value of odor strength keeps being displayed until the unit
measures higher value.
NOTE Press for over 3 seconds again to cancel the function.
NOTE The function is not displayed on the saved data.
3-4. Zero-point Function
By using this function, the unit sets the baseline accurately when it is turned on.
The unit sets the baseline at the place where the initialization is done.
After 10 minutes initializing, the unit will display Odor Strength “0” (baseline) automatically
regardless of the measurement environment.
If you need to set the baseline accurately, connect Air Purifying Unit to purify the air forcibly.
1. Press until calendar on LCD display “0” and starts blinking.
2. Press to proceed, or press to cancel.
NOTE If you set zero-point forcibly under dirty environment, odor strength may keep
displaying “0”. In this case, please set zero-point again under clean environment.
NOTE Zero-point function cannot be performed in memory sampling mode.
