The device counts the effectively measured
particles per separate channel within the set

concentration mode. Measuring in differential mode
is therefore more precise.
Example:
The measuring device shows 100particles in the
0.3μm channel and 30 in the 0.5μm channel. The

other that they are counted as one (mostly larger)
particle.
Adding up of the measured values per separate
channel directly from the first seconds of a
measurement.
Every second of the running measuring period the
device calculates the respective average per
channel from the determined values and the
resulting volume.
This is a summation of the individual particle sizes
in the channel of the next smaller particle size
respectively located beneath.
Exemplary display:
- 5μ = 26 - 10μ = 14 Then only 12 particles of the
size 5μ were measured. 12 + 14 = 26
which a particle of the smallest detectable size is
detected and counted during the measurement. For
particles larger than the smallest detectable size,
the counting efficiency is 100%.

Examples for carbon monoxide concentration in the air
Examples for carbon monoxide concentrations and their effects:
0 to 1 ppm Normal background levels
9 ppm Max. permissible concentration for interior spaces
35 ppm Max. average amount to which one may be exposed over a
period of 8 hours. *

* according to OSHA = Occupational Safety & Health Association
Examples for formaldehyde concentration in the air
Formaldehyde is a colourless gas which is often contained in
the room air. Depending on the personal sensitivity, it is
perceived as a pungent odour above certain concentrations.
Formaldehyde, also referred to as HCHO or methanal, was
assigned to the hazard class Carcinogenic/category1B and
Germ cell mutagenic/category2 with effect from 1January
2016. Even small quantities of formaldehyde in the room air
may affect human health. The consequences include
concentration disorders, nervousness, headaches, dizziness, but
also nausea, swelling of mucosa, conjunctival irritations and
lacrimation. In extremely high concentrations, formaldehyde can
cause pneumonia or toxic pulmonary oedema and is therefore
fatal.
Moreover, the substance is suspected of having a sensitizing
effect on the body with respect to allergies, and of promoting an
aggravation of asthmatic symptoms. It is assumed that the
adverse health impact of formaldehyde is not caused by the
isolated substance but by mixtures of pollutants (VOC/TVOC)
containing formaldehyde.
The following specifications serve as guide values, which were
determined in international studies. They are not binding since
the listed symptoms strongly depend on personal sensitivity!
0.05 to 0.125 ppm Odour threshold
0.01 to 1.6 ppm Irritation of mucous membranes (nose, throat) and
eyes
2.0 to 3.0 ppm Stinging in the nose, eyes, throat
4.0 to 5.0 ppm Bearable for 30 minutes, increasing discomfort,
lacrimation
10.0 to 20.0 ppm Strong lacrimation already after a few minutes of
exposure (lasting for up to 1 hour after exposure),
immediate breathlessness, coughing, severe burning
in throat, nose and eyes
30 ppm Toxic pulmonary oedema, pneumonia, risk of death!
TVOC – Total Volatile Organic Compounds
Nowadays, interior spaces contain numerous possible sources
of volatile organic compounds, so-called VOCs. Such sources
include sealants, furniture, varnishes and solvents, insulation
material etc.
Every individual volatile organic compound can be associated
with specific as well as unspecific health problems. Therefore,
there is a maximum limit for the ambient concentration of each
of these substances in interior spaces.
Due to the different chemical compositions and the associated
different impact potential of each of these substances, an
assessment of the overall group of substances is a rather
complex issue. However, this is exactly what is tried to be done
by way of calculating the sum of the concentrations of these
individual compounds, i.e. by determining one collective value,
the so-called TVOC value (Total Volatile Organic Compounds).
Owing to the complexity of VOCs, both the individual health
effects on the human body and their intensity can be different
and vary greatly in certain cases. Therefore, the TVOC
concentration and its effects are purely indicative.
Even below the thresholds of an acute individual effect, TVOCs
can affect the human well-being and health through so-called
combination effects. A long-term exposure to even low TVOC
concentrations, particularly to mixtures, can lead to unspecific
symptoms and reactions including
• perception of unpleasant odours and tastes
• runny nose and watery eyes
• irritation of eyes, nose, throat
• dry mucous membranes and dry skin, itching
• increased sensitivity to infections of the respiratory tract as
well as
• neurotoxic symptoms (fatigue, headaches, reduced mental
performance)
and even result in permanent health damage.

Information about the device
Functional description
The particle counter is designed to measure the size and
amount of particles in the air. The detected data can be used for
analysing cleanrooms or prove environmental burdens from
particulates.
To detect the data, the particle counter sucks in air for an
adjustable amount of time and determines the size and amount
of particles contained in it.
Particles of the sizes 0.3μm, 0.5μm, 1.0μm, 2.5μm, 5.0μm
and 10.0μm are treated equally during this process.
There are three methods of analysis (see also Definitions):
Cumulative: Amount of all particles up to the selected particle sizes,
e.g.: 0.5μm = 417 means that 417ppm of the particles
have a size of >0.3μm to 0.5μm.
Differential: Absolute concentration of the different particle sizes per
channel and measured volume.
Concentration: Averaged concentration of the different particle sizes per
channel per measured volume.
Alarm limit values for particle burden

The limit value ranges listed for the respective channel were
1)
Red
(signal beep)
determined on the basis of ISO 14644-1 and in connection with
practical experience values. They are in no way legally binding
and have a merely orientating function.
The detected values for all active particle sizes are displayed on
the 2.8 inch colour display simultaneously. In addition, the air
burden in one particle size selected by the user is displayed on
a colour indication scale. As soon as the particle burden is no
longer in the green area of this scale, a beep is emitted (see
table Alarm limit values for particle burdens).
In addition to the counted particles, the temperature and relative
humidity as well as the dew point and wet-bulb temperature
calculated from that information are displayed. Measurements
as well as the associated photo and video documentation can
be saved in the internal memory of the device or on a microSD
card, and then transmitted onto a PC via USB cable.
The device is equipped with an integrated measuring cell with
laser (class3R laser, 780nm, 1.5-3mW). Owing to the tamperproof enclosure it is classified as laser class1 (DINEN60825-1)
according to the Technical Regulations of the Occupational
Health and Safety Ordinance on Artificial Optical
Radiation (TROS) devised by the German Federal Institute for
Occupational Health and Safety. Maintenance and repair work
may only be carried out by trained expert staff observing the
legal regulations.

If the device is used in heavily contaminated environments, the
sensor must be cleaned with the supplied zero filter.
To do so, please proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the metallic measuring funnel from the device.
2. Screw the calibration hose onto the suction nozzle and
attach the zero filter.
3. Now, carry out a measurement in the "Cumulative" particle
measurement mode until "0" is shown in each channel.
4. The calibration process should not take more than
5 minutes. If the desired zero values are not reached in all
channels within that time, please contact the Trotec
customer service.
