Page 5: Getting Started
Instrument description The HEPaC is a hand-held, battery powered instrument based on the partector2 by na- neos (naneos.ch) to measure the number concentration of nanoparticles. It displays the measured data on a graphical display. The device can communicate with devices sup- porting Bluetooth LE. -

Max. voltage of the precipitator pulses allow to tune the efficiency as function of diame- ter. The flow is measured by the pressure drop over a nozzle and kept constant by con- trolling the pump. For more details on the sensor operation see Sensors for ambient temperature and pressure allow to relate the measured signal to ambient conditions. - Page 7 Keypad functions & symbols , you can see the display screens: Figure 3 home screen info ambient high voltage electrometer charger configuration misc. thermocontroller thermocontroller Figure 3: menu screens Home screen On the home screen you can see the number concentration, date and time and the charge state of the battery.

Ambient air pressure [hPa] internal relative humidity [%] internal temperature [°C] calculated height above sea level [m] Note: Altitude is calculated for average pressure. It may be off by several 100 me- ters if ambient air pressure is very high or low due to a high- or low-pressure area passing through.
- Page 9 Data rate For certification purposes the sensor can store the measurement data with 10Hz to an internal memory. It is also possible to store the measurement data with 1Hz. Meas.mode (= measurement mode) There are two operation modes: 1. “always” (= always on) o In this mode the sensor does not switch off the pump and the internal high voltage.
