Calibration dust MonoDust 1500
MonoDust
1500
A special calibration dust with a specified and known particle size is used to
calibrate the device. Delivery includes one container of the calibration dust
MonoDust 1500
. Use only
MonoDust 1500
to calibrate the device.
When used properly, a single container is sufficient to calibrate the device
multiple times. Only a small amount of the dust is needed for the calibration
process.
MonoDust 1500
can be ordered from Palas or your sales partner.
The label on the container as well as the certificate for the calibration dust in-
dicate reference values (
setpoint raw channel
) needed to calibrate the
particle size.
This is how to use the calibration dust properly:
1.
Shake the closed container gently.
ð
Some of the particles swirl in the air inside the container and remain
in the air for a few minutes.
2.
Unscrew the lid and place the end of the hose from the device’s
aerosol inlet tube in the container.
The hose should protrude only a few centimeters into the container,
and it should not touch the sides or bottom of the container.
This is the only way to ensure that only a few dust particles are drawn
into the hose.
