Page 34: Chapter 3. Your System
Chapter 3 Your System How Lasair Pro Works The Lasair Pro takes in air at a set flowrate dependent on the model (28.3, 50, or 100 LPM) through the sample inlet to the sample chamber. In this chamber, a laser beam projects a beam against particles in the sample and causes light scatter.
Page 35: Memory
Chapter 3 : Your System Memory The Lasair Pro particle counter has the memory capacity to store 10,000 complete data sets, which cannot be edited or altered (thereby meeting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance). Once this memory is full, the instrument automatically erases memory in order to add additional sampling data.
Page 36: Touchscreen
Chapter 3 : Your System Touchscreen The particle counter has a large, 8.4-inch color touchscreen that makes it easy to see data, and includes an intuitive and easy-to-use navigation structure. Information can also be entered using a USB keyboard. The display can be easily configured to display information in 1 of 12 languages.
