Introduction
Overview
This operating guide describes how to use the Lighthouse
HANDHELD 3016 IAQ Airborne Particle Counter.
The HANDHELD 3016 IAQ has up to six particle-size channels
starting at 0.3
— m with a flow of 0.1 CFM and a touch screen interface.
A microprocessor controls all instrument functions. Count data is
displayed as cumulative or differential count in Particle Mode. In Mass
Concentration Mode, particles are displayed in micrograms per cubic
meter.
The model number signifies the minimum particle size measured by the
instrument. The number “3016” indicates a 0.3
— m minimum channel
size at 0.1 CFM with up to 6 channels.
The instrument uses a laser-diode light source and collection optics for
particle detection. Particles scatter light from the laser diode. The
collection optics collect and focus the light onto a photo diode that
converts the bursts of light into electrical pulses. The pulse height is a
measure of particle size. Pulses are counted and their amplitude is
measured for particle sizing. Results are displayed as particle counts in
the specified size channel.
Description
Ergonomically designed and lightweight, the Lighthouse HANDHELD
3016 IAQ particle counter is the newest and most advanced handheld
particle counters on the market.
The HANDHELD 3016 IAQ displays cumulative or differential
particle count data, Mass Concentration data and Temperature/Relative
Humidity data on its easy to read 3.8" (9.25cm) touch screen. A
rechargeable battery maximizes the HANDHELD’s uptime. Data is
easily downloaded using LMS XChange software.
The HANDHELD allows you to:
• Set the Sample Time
• Configure the number of samples taken in a given Location
