PCE-RCM 05

Ⅰ. Overview

Atmospheric parculate maer (PM) is microscopic solid or liquid maer suspended in the

Earth’s atmosphere, which can adversely aect human health. PM2.5 parcles are air pollutants

with a dia of 2m or less, containing soot, smoke, metals, nitrates, sulfates, dust, water, and re

rubber.

When we breathe, PM2.5 can get deep into our lungs and some may even get into bloodstream.

Exposure to ne parcles can aect the heart and lungs

3. General specifications

a. Display: LCD screen
b. Working principle: laser scattering
c. Alarm: visual (red light)
d. Backlight: dual color LED backlight

4. Operation environment

a. For indoor/outdoor environment or vehicles
b. Altitude: ≤2000 s
c. Operating temperature: -10~50˚C

Operating humidity: 0~99% RH

d. Storage temperature: -20~60˚C

5. Precautions

a. When measuring, please take more than 10 minutes to obtain a stable value.
b. It is normal to have several digits difference at different locations within one space because

PM2.5 suspends unevenly in the air. Use the concentration grading emoticons to judge the
air quality.

c. When measuring, please do not use fan, hair dryer, fan heater, etc. to blow into device.
d. Do not block the air inlet and outlet.
e. When measuring the temperature and humidity, it takes 20~30 minutes for the device to

obtain the accurate value.

f. To avoid anomaly, please use the device under specified operation environment.
