Page 6: Getting Started
Getting started Instrument description The Partector 2 is a hand-held, battery powered instrument to measure the lung deposited surface area (LDSA), the number concentration and the average particle diameter of nanoparticles. It displays the measured data on a graphical display and stores it on a SD card. A user-defined LDSA alarm level can be set. - Page 7 Supplying power To charge the Partector 2 or to operate it for periods longer than the battery lifetime, connect the Partector 2 USB port to a PC, Laptop or to a USB- charger or to a mobile power bank to charge the device.
- Page 8 Recording measurements on the SD-card If a SD-card is inserted in the Partector 2 before startup, the device automatically starts recording on the SD-card when the device is turned on. It automatically generates a filename depending on start date, time and device serial.

- Page 12 Smartphone, to visualize the measured data. Time and Date: the internal clock of the Partector 2 has an accuracy of about 1s per day. It does not change to daylight saving time and back automatically.
- Page 13 Extended information Different inlet options The Partector 2 comes with a standard inlet – a 6mm tube fitting with a steel mesh. You can use either this or you can add a cyclone in front of the tube intake to remove coarse particles. The internal pump cannot support high pressure drops, so you should not use an impactor.
- Page 14 Read the separate quick guide on our website for more information. Bluetooth The Partector 2 supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The Partector 2 works in the advertising mode, i.e. it continuously sends out small data packets that can be read by nearby BLE receivers. An Android app is in development.

- Page 17 Some of the error conditions are rather harmless (e.g. high electrometer zero offset, high RH error), whereas especially the pulse errors will interfere with a correct measurement. If you experience frequent errors, please contact us by email, and send us a description of the error message, what you were doing when it occurred, and the data file of that measurement.
