2. General Description

Handheld Odor Meter is the most popular simplified tool for odor analysis enables to show

TVOC in the value corresponding to toluene gas numerically by comparing odor gases and

purified air.

The reading shown on the display is calculated based on our original principle.

With the installation of data filing software, measured data can be transferred to PC in easy

steps.

The Value Corresponding to Toluene Gas

Simply turn on the unit and start measurement.

Real-time TVOC gas concentration corresponding to toluene gas can be measured continuously.

Peak-hold

Retains maximum gas concentration.

Memory Sampling Measurement Mode

Up to 511 measuring data can be saved upon selecting sampling rate.

Data Filing Software

By using original data filing software, measuring data from the unit can be transferred to PC.
