Product Overview The HV-500R is sample suspended dust in the open face, and provide quantitative analysis of dust concentration and composition. High-accuracy flow rate control is provided by a differential pressure detection system, and instantaneous and cumulative flow rate values are displayed digitally. Reductions in suction flow rate due to increased dust collection are minimized thanks to a constant flow rate function.
A special orifice flow meter can be attached to perform flow rate calibrations. Others We accept special orders for additional connecting parts and special measurements. Contact your Sibata agent.

After the [START/STOP] button has been pressed, if the flow meter inadvertently responds to a slight airflow, a zero error will occur and the following screen will be displayed. ZERO ERROR 23.2 Press [ESC] to return to the main screen. Then press the [START/STOP] button again. * A zero error determination will be made when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, even under timer operation.

Calibration Methods Calibration is recommended to further improve the accuracy of sampling. 1 Point and 2 Point Calibration 1 point calibration is an effective method for adjusting the accuracy of a given value. A disadvantage however is that accuracy will actually be worsened if that value changes significantly. 2 point calibration can be used to adjust accuracy across a calibration range.
An optionally available standard flow meter can be attached to the sampler's intake side. Calibration at the work site is simplified by using Sibata OFD-1 orifice flow meter (sold separately) as the standard flow meter (Optionally available round/rectangular adapter for orifice flow meter is required.
Sampling data can be retrieved by connecting a PC using the USB port provided on the product. No particular communications software is prepared, but products such as HyperTerminal can be used. A special USB driver is required for communications. The USB driver can be downloaded from Sibata website: (http://www.sibata.co.jp/technology/technology-27640/)
