Working Principle The measuring principle of the piezoelectric balance-type dust counter is completely different from that of the previous light random type. This measurement calculates the concentration of dust in air by directly measuring the weight of dust in air per unit volume. As a result, both stability and precision are greater than by light random mode.

Check first if high voltage is cut off (It is forbidden to clean in high voltage). Then gradually insert the front end of the cleaning box by aligning with the cleaning port, with the sponge side facing downward. When the insertion depth reaches the scale line indicated on the back of the cleaning box, stop and stay for 20 seconds.

Horizontally, KD11 impacter snout boasts three directions for user’s selection, namely 0°,45°and 90°. The user can select the direction of impacter snout at his own discretion. When adjusting the direction of an impacter snout, just turn the body of impacter to the designated position until a crack is heard.
Measuring Method ● Supply of High Voltage Current When “wait” is not blinking, press “MEAS/CLN” key to supply high voltage current. Then the high-tension pointer in the high-tension block is seen to move right and remain in the black part of the block. The operating status shifts to “ready”, indicating measurement may begin.
