Particle counter for IAQ measurements

17 October 2012 Test & Measurement

The Comtest Group has introduced the Fluke 985 particle counter, a rugged, highly accurate meter that measures airborne particles to troubleshoot and monitor indoor air quality (IAQ).

The instrument is ideal for facility maintenance, HVAC and IAQ professionals to monitor cleanrooms and conduct HVAC filter testing and IAQ commissioning and investigations in buildings. Other applications include contamination and quality control, energy assessment, indoor air quality investigations, filter testing and leak detection.

The 985 features six particle size channels with a range of 0,3 μm–10 μm, assuring accurate measurements, while its lightweight, ergonomic design allows for easy single-hand operation. It provides in-device storage of 10 000 records for easy access to historical data, and 10 hours of standard-use battery life to last a full workday.

The particle counter has a 3,5” QVGC colour display with backlight and intuitive icons, plus a large font option for easy navigation and viewing. It features configurable settings for the display, sample methods and sample size alarm.

Data can be presented in traditional tabular form or as a trend graph, and exported to a USB memory stick or directly to a PC via a USB or Ethernet cable. The meter meets ISO 21501, JIS B9921 and CE standards.

The 985 comes with a cradle for charging and USB and Ethernet communications, ENET CAT5E cable, USB-A to MINI-B cable, 12 V d.c. power supply, zero count inlet-filter, filter adapter, sample inlet protective cap, hard case, getting started manual and user manual CD.
