PC200 Particle Counter

Description

With its ISO 21501-4 conformity, the PC200 can be used for various measuring functions from testing cleanrooms and filter efficiency to monitoring burdens at workspaces and quality assurance.

All measured values of the six particle size channels are shown simultaneously on the 2.8 inch colour LCD display.

An additional colour indicator display with automatic acoustic alarm makes it easier to quickly detect critical particle concentrations.

Besides the size and amount fractions of air particles the PC200 also detects environmental factors such as air temperature, humidity, and dew and wet-bulb temperature.

Additionally, the built-in digital camera makes it possible to take photos and record videos of the measured environment.

The PC200 data logging function can store up to 5,000 measurement records on its internal memory. This can be expanded by up to 8 GB with a MicroSD card, which significantly raises the storage capacity. After measuring, all detected data can be quickly and easily transmitted to a PC via a USB interface for documentation or analysis.
