If no key is pressed for more than one minute, the display goes dark to prolong battery life.
- Page 9 Figure 4: color coding of LDSA values Electrometer gain calibration The partector contains an in-circuit electrometer gain measurement, which is executed once per hour. The gain measurement takes 20s, and during this time no LDSA measurement is possible. During the gain measurement, the LDSA value is displayed in white in a sequence of first 000, then the gain value in % (approximately 100) and finally again 000.
- Page 10 Config screen In the config screen, you can change some settings of the partector Alarm level: use the “up” and “down” soft key to change the alarm level to the desired value. When the measurement value exceeds the alarm level, the internal buzzer of the partector will produce an audible warning.
- Page 11 Extended operation information Different inlet options The partector 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 inlet to remove coarse particles. The internal pump cannot support high pressure drops, so you should not use an impactor.
