1. SAFETY INFORMATION
A Warning identifies a condition or action that pose hazard(s) to the user; a
Caution identifies a condition or action that may damage the meter or the
equipment under test.
Read this entire manual before using the meter.
Safety labels used in this manual and on the meter are as follows.
Precautionary labels
Label Meaning
Risk of Danger. Important information. Refer to manual.
Hazardous voltage. Risk of electrical shock.
Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
Conforms to relevant European Union directives.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the meter, follow these
safety guidelines:
Use the meter only as described in this Instruction Manual, otherwise
the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
Do not use the meter in explosive atmospheres.
The meter contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the meter.
Have the meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.
Inspect the meter before use.
Do not use it if it appears damaged.
Always use the ac adapter/charger and connector appropriate for the
voltage and outlet of the country or location in which you are
working.

Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter:
Avoid using the meter in an excessively dirtyor dustyatmosphere.
Excessive particle intake can damage the meter.
Remove the isokinetic probe cap before the startup. Not doing so can
damage the meter.
Do not use a wrench to connect or disconnect the isokinetic probe.
Finger-Tighten the connection.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION
Note
When using the meter for the first time, or when reusing the unit after
an interval of a month or longer, be sure to charge the battery for at
least 20 minutes before turning on the power.
Warning
Read “Safety Information” before using the meter.
The meter is a full featured, battery operated, handheld particle counter or mass
monitor. In the count mode the meter will measure particle counts at fixed sizes
of 0.5 µm, 0.7 µm, 1.0 µm, 2.5 µm, 4.0 µm, 5.0 µm, 7.0 µm and 10.0 µm. In the
mass mode the meter will measure PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM7, PM10 and TSP
mass concentration levels. It holds 500 samples in flash memory and records
the date, time, counts or mass, sample volume, temperature, and relative
humidity of each sample. The data can be easily downloaded to a personal
computer using the USB interface cable.
The meter is commonly used for the following:
HVAC Applications
Controlled Environments
Filter Testing
Indoor Air Quality
Mining & Ore Processing
Hospitals & Clinics
Emission Sourcing
Monitoring Growning Rooms
