7. USING THE METER
The following sections give detailed information about using the meter.
7-1 Setup
To set up the meter:
Go through the different screens and set the desired parameters for sampling.
Refer to previous sections regarding the different screens and menus.
7-1-1 Setting the Counting mode:
The counting mode choices are:
Concentration mode:
The Concentration mode is used to take a quick glimpse of airborne
particle contamination levels. For example, this mode might be used in
areas where particulate levels are unknown and may exceed the
operating levels of the meter. The meter estimates the count per cubic
foot or liter depending on the volume selected. This mode should not be
substituted for full sampling.
Totalize mode:
In Totalize mode, the particle counts are display and accumulate as
sampled. When the sample is complete, the record is stored and the
value is displayed on the screen until the next sample is started.
Audio mode:
In Audio mode, the meter beeps once each time the alarm limit is
exceeded. For example, if the limit is set to 10, the meter beeps when
the count first reaches 10 and beeps again for every multiple of 10. In
Audio mode, the display shows counts as in Totalize mode.
