Handheld Odor Meter is the most popular simplified tool for odor analysis, which enables to display TVOC as Toluene-value Digital Indication numerically by comparing odor gases and purified air. The reading shown on display is calculated based on our original principle. By using data filing software, you can transfer measuring data to PC in easy steps. Toluene-value Digital Indication Simply turn on the device and start measuring. Real-time gas concentration converted into Toluene concentration can be measured continuously. Peak-hold Function Maximum strength level can be retained. Memory Sampling Measurement Mode Up to 511 measuring data can be saved upon selecting sampling rate: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 60, 120, or 300 seconds. Transferring measuring data to PC By using data filing software, it can transfer measuring data automatically from the device to PC during measurement. Or, it also can transfer saved measuring data from the device to PC and draw illustrated graph automatically.

2. Attach Suction Nozzle to the device before measurement. 3. Use ʻAAʼ alkaline batteries or AC Adaptor. Use AC adaptor for longer measurement. or 4. Turn on the device at clean ambient. It takes about two minutes for the device initializing and start measuring. At the point when initializing is done, the device sets the point as ʻZeroʼ point. To get the zero point stable, initializing at clean ambient is recommended. Air Purifying Unit is used to set ʻZeroʼ point forcibly. (Go to 3-5) 3-1-2 Measurement 1. Turn on the device and wait for about ten minutes until ʻReadyʼ stops blinking and initializing is done. 2. Start measuring. 3. Use OMX-TDM Data Fling Software if necessary. 3-1-3 Finish Measurement Turn off the devise when the displayed value shows close to ʻ0ʼ. 11 ...
3-2 Memory Sampling Mode 3-2-1 Measurement Preparations Refer to 3-1-1 on Pp11. 3-2-2 Measurement 1. Press button until Calendar and Sampling Rate on LCD display starts blinking. 2. Select Sampling Rate by pressing. 3. Press to finish selecting Sampling Rate. 4. Press, and to finish Memory Sampling measurement and save measuring data. 3-2-3 No Memory Space Memory overflow occurs when the internal memory is full. If there is no space remained, Calendar on LCD display starts blinking, and Data No. becomes ʻ0ʼ. To delete saved memory in the device, press ʻSamplingʼ and ʻZero/Stopʼ at the same time while the device is off and turn on the device while the two buttons are held. * Saved memory in the device will not be deleted automatically when it is transferred to PC. 12 ...
