using the instrument, proceed as follows: 

1. Make sure you are using the isokinetic inlet (installed by default) when sampling.  
2. Position the instrument in the environment to be measured. 
3. Remove the 

red

 protective cap from the inlet. 

4. Turn the device 

ON

 by pressing the Power button and holding it for 3 seconds. 

5. After pressing the power key, a 

SPLASH 

screen will appear for three seconds,

screen then displays on the LCD. 

6. When the 

MENU

 screen appears, the instrument is ready for use. Select mode and 

follow on-screen instructions. 

7. Press Count button to start sampling at any particle analysis screen
