Page 21: Calibrate Weather Station" - Adjusting The Weather Station
INSTRUCTION MANUAL APDA-372 / APDA-372 E FINE DUST MONITOR SYSTEM 2.5.9. “calibrate weather station” – Adjusting the weather station As of firmware version 100389, the sensors for temperature, air pressure and relative humidity of the weather station that is connected (WS300-UMB or WS600-UMB) can be adjusted by comparing the measured values with the measured values of a transfer standard and determining the corresponding linear equation. -
Page 22: Datalogger - Measurement Data Memory
Datalogger – Measurement data memory The APDA-372 saves the measurement data continuously internally in a file. It creates a new file for every day. The files can be copied to a USB flash drive (copy data files to D:\). When a USB flash drive is connected to the APDA-372, it automatically copies the files to the USB flash drive at midnight. - Page 23 INSTRUCTION MANUAL APDA-372 / APDA-372 E FINE DUST MONITOR SYSTEM The columns of this text file are labeled as follows: Columns A-L Date Time Comment PM2.5 PM10 PMtotal Number Humidity Temperature Pressure Concentration Columns M-U Flag for status parameters Flow...
- Page 24 Note: only the operating modes in bold letters are relevant for the APDA-372. Note: if the text file is moved or deleted, the APDA-372 will automatically create a new text file for the current month. If a text file exists for the current month, the data are simply appended.

APDA-372 must be reset to the Auto mode. If this is not done, the status remains set to device not ready because the operating mode in device status is not set to auto. - Page 26 INSTRUCTION MANUAL APDA-372 / APDA-372 E FINE DUST MONITOR SYSTEM The clean optical sensor option starts a routine which heats the IADS up to 75 °C and at the same time alternates the pumps from 0 l/min to the maximum volumetric flow rate. The objective here is to essentially “shake loose”...

Page 31: Shut Down - Switching Off The Apda-372
2.10. Shut down – Switching off the APDA-372 Always use the "shut down" button to switch off the APDA-372. Because the APDA-372 firmware runs on a dynamic operating system based on Windows XP Embedded for industrial applications, APDA-372 models should never be switched off by means of the mains power switch because otherwise the data system can become corrupt. - Page 32 INSTRUCTION MANUAL APDA-372 / APDA-372 E FINE DUST MONITOR SYSTEM © HORIBA 2019 ©HORIBA Europe GmbH Version HE00040519 Jul-19...
