The Met One HHPC-6 Handheld Airborne Particle Counter simultaneously displays six
channels of particle size distribution. The Model HHPC-6 holds 500 samples (2,000 with
Option EX) in data memory and records date, time, counts, sample volume, temperature
and relative humidity. Data is easily downloaded to a computer or printer using the
included RS-232/RS-485 interface cable and utility software. With value-packed features
and excellent reliability, it is easy to see why the Model HHPC-6 is a winner among
professionals who monitor and verify cleanrooms, test filters, and track down particle
source problems. The intelligent design and overall utility of the Model HHPC-6 is
invaluable for IAQ investigations, making workplace environments safer and healthier.

• Self-contained, ergonomic, easy to operate

• Fast, easy connection to computer or printer

• Selectable sample time, count data, programmable delay

• Set sample times to cubic feet or liters

• Data displayed in totalize or concentration modes

• Built-in, programmable alarms

• Built-in purge filter protects the cleanroom from pump exhaust

• Automatic turn-off when battery voltage drops below safe operating level

• Meets the most stringent performance standards set by the industry
