Page 6: Getting Started
Getting started Instrument description The Partector 2 (Light Version) is a hand-held, battery powered instrument to measure the lung deposited surface area (LDSA). 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 Figure 2: different tubing options 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 12 When the measurement value exceeds the alarm level, the internal buzzer of the Partector 2 will produce an audible warning. Heater: The Partector 2 can use the built-in buzzer for the alarm to heat the device slightly. This can only increase the temperature of the device by about 2°C compared to not using the heater;...

- Page 14 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 inlet to remove coarse particles. The internal pump cannot support high pressure drops, so you should not use an impactor.
- Page 15 Figure 6: SKC GS-3 cyclone mounted on a Partector 2 If you are certain that you have no coarse particles in your air (which is normally the case in ambient air), then you can also use the standard tube inlet.
