❑ Do not install or operate the meter close to noise generator, such as
electric dust collector, fluorescent lighting, etc.
❑ Avoid use on mechanical vibration.
❑ Avoid use in moisture.
❑ Do not use the meter near water, such as a sink, wash basin, or bathtub.
❑ Do not spill any liquids onto or into the meter.
❑ Do not push any objects into the openings of the meter.
❑ Do not use any liquid or spray cleaners on the meter.
Clean only with dry cloth.

Health Disclaimer
2. INTRODUCTION
Particle pollution comes from many different type of sources. Fine particle
(2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller) include power plants, industrial
processes, vehicle tailpipes, wood stoves, and wildfires. Coarse particles
(between 2.5 and 10 micrometers) come from crushing and grinding
operations, road dust, and some agricultural operations.
Particle pollution is linked a number of health problems, including coughing,
wheezing, reduced lung function, asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes.
It also is linked to early death.
-1-

Some people may be at greater risk from particle pollution. They include:
People with cardiovascular disease (diseases of the heart and blood
❑
vessels).
People with lung disease, including asthma and COPD.
❑
Children and teenagers.
❑
Older adults.
❑
Research indicates that obesity or diabetes may increase risk.
❑
New or expectant mothers may want to take precaution to protect the
❑
health of their babies.
The meter is a real-time air quality monitor instrument used to monitor the
concentration of PM2.5, humidity and temperature in the indoor environment.
The meter convert the concentration of PM2.5 in the air into visual data, and
evaluate the air quality comprehensively. Visual and audio alarm will be actived
when the air quality reached a critical or alarm limit values.
