Introduction to IQAir Particle Counters
|
|
Hand held IQAir ParticleScan Pro particle counters offer real-time particle measurement in a compact and lightweight unit that is easy to hold, and its electronic keypad is simple to use. Particle detectors can help people learn important information about air quality, identify pollutant sources, or measure the effectiveness of a pollution control program. The LED display allows easy monitoring of the concentration of particles such as mold spores, dust mites, clothing and carpeting fibers, skin cells, asbestos and other particles measuring from 0.3 to 5 microns. Each particle counter offers high sensitivity, particle sizing into 6 size groups, and cat5e and USB connector to download raw data into a PC or Palm OS computer with included software. The data can then be imported into excel spreadsheets. A soft carrying case allows for safe transport.

Features of IQAir Particle Counters
|
- Audible Alarm Function: The instrument allows the user to set an individual particle concentration threshold for each individual size channel. An intermittent beeping sound alerts the user should the set threshold be exceeded.
- Data logging to PC or Palm: Every ParticleScan is supplied with software and a USB transfer cable which allows data logging to PC or Palm OS computers. With the supplied ParticleTrak software it’s easy to turn your ParticleScan into a continuous data logging device to monitor airborne particle concentrations over time. The software allows particle counts for all six size channels to be stored on your PC.
- Real-Time Particle Measurement: ParticleScan instruments use laser technology to measure particle concentrations in ambient air. The instruments continuously detect and measure the concentration of airborne particles and display an updated reading every six seconds on the easy to read LED display. This enables the user to monitor particle concentration changes as they occur and allows individual pollution sources to be tracked down by using the ParticleScan as a "particle sniffer".
- High Sensitivity: ParticleScan instruments can identify single particles, making them far more sensitive than photometers, which identify only particle clouds.
- Particle Sizing: ParticleScan instruments not only count particles, they also categorize particles into six size groups ranging from 0.3 microns to 5 microns. This sizing information allows users to focus only on those particle sizes of interest, disregarding the rest.
- Particle Counter applications:
- Monitor indoor & outdoor particle concentrations
- Log and report air pollution levels
- Demonstrate & compare efficiency of air & vacuum cleaners
- Track down particulate pollution sources
- Evaluate effectiveness of pollution control measures
- Inspect HVAC equipment & ducting
- Spot-check particulate pollution levels at the workplace
- Analyze logged data for remedial action
- Store, organize, analyze & print data in spreadsheets
- Graphically display & communicate air pollution levels
