Page 5: Operation
The DC1700 also has an internal 7.2V NiMH battery which can provide up to 6 hours of operation. To charge the internal battery, plug the DC1700 into AC, but don’t turn the unit on. (Note: It may take 12 or more hours to charge a fully discharged battery) -
Page 7: Operating Modes
The DC1700 is simple to operate. All that needs to be done is to plug the unit in and turn it on. Once turned on the unit will automatically configure itself to run in continuous mode and display the current level of particulate pollution for both small and large particles. - Page 8 analysis. In addition, a dynamic bar graph will be displayed which will give the user an immediate visual indicator of the number and size of particles being detected. When continuous mode is first entered it will briefly display the approximate battery charge state provided that the unit is running on battery and not on AC as shown below.

Page 9: Monitor Mode
In monitor mode the DC1700 will sample for one minute every hour. The LCD will display “monitor mode” and wait until the next hour break to begin sampling. When the unit starts sampling the fan will come on and the word “sampling” will flash on the second line of the LCD. - Page 10 The message “TIME BREAK” alerts the user that the displayed times past the time break are no longer accurate. This happens if the DC1700 is unplugged which causes the unit to lose track of time. Note: the stored data is not lost but only the time reference from the present.

Date time mode displays the current date and time (in 24hr time) and allows the user to set the internal clock. The internal clock is used to time stamp the data which is stored in the DC1700’s internal memory. This is to facilitate graphing the data (e.g. using Excel) once it has been downloaded into a PC. - Page 14 Repeat this procedure until the day, year, hour, and minute have been set properly. The final press of the MODE button will store these values into the DC1700 internal clock. The mode will then be automatically advanced to...

Page 16: Internal Memory
The DC1700 stores these readings every minute when sampling. The data stored in memory is the same as the data displayed on the DC1700 and represents the average of the particle concentration over the previous minute. This amounts to about 10,000 individual readings. -
Page 17: Pc Interface
PC. This interface provides two basic capabilities – to download the DC1700's internal memory or to log data live as it is being taken by the DC1700. If you have an older PC which is equipped with a COM port then you can connect the DC1700 directly to the PC using a 9 pin serial extension cable. - Page 18 Setup the COM port for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop, and no flow control. Click Ok. At this point you should be connected to the DC1700. If the DC1700 is on and sampling then the counts should be output every minute and appear in the HyperTerminal window.
- Page 19 “Session“ category on the left hand side of the screen and enter a name for the session, such as, Dylos DC1700, and then click “Save“. You can now recall this setup for future sessions. Click Open and the Putty terminal will open - it works similar to HyperTerminal.

Cleaning is simple - use compressed air, such as from any of the available “canned air” products, to blow into the openings in the top rear of the DC1700. It is best to perform this operation while the unit is turned on so that the fan is running and will draw out any dust blown free. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting Guide
Certain kinds of fluorescent lighting can cause high counts if located within 1-2 feet of the DC1700. To be safe move the DC1700 several feet away from any device you suspect might be causing interference. -
