Intended use
The device is intended for measuring the size and number as
well as the mass concentration of particles in the air.
To use the device for its intended use, only use accessories and
spare parts which have been approved by Trotec.
Foreseeable misuse
The device may not be used for measurements in liquids.
The device may not be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres, when wet or very humid.
Any unauthorised changes, modifications or alterations to the
device are forbidden.
Personnel qualifications
People who use this device must:
• have read and understood the operating manual, especially
the Safety chapter.
Residual risks
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of a short-circuit due to liquids
penetrating the housing!
Do not immerse the device and the accessories in
water. Make sure that no water or other liquids can
enter the housing.
Warning of electrical voltage
Work on the electrical components must only be
carried out by an authorised specialist company!
Warning of explosive substances
Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 60°C!
Do not let the battery come into contact with water or
fire! Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. There is a risk
of explosion!
Warning of laser radiation
Laser class3R, Pmax.: < 1.5–3mW, λ: 780nm,
EN60825-1:2014
Do not look directly into the laser beam or the opening
from which it emerges.
Never point the laser beam at people, animals or
reflective surfaces. Even brief eye contact can lead to
eye damage.
Examining the laser output aperture by use of optical
instruments (e.g. magnifying glass, magnifiers and the
like) entails the risk of eye damage.
When working with a laser of class2, observe the
national regulations on wearing eye protection.
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may
use it as a dangerous toy.
Warning
The device is not a toy and does not belong in the
hands of children.
Warning
Dangers can occur at the device when it is used by
untrained people in an unprofessional or improper way!
Observe the personnel qualifications!
Caution
Lithium-ion batteries might catch fire in case of
overheating or damage. Ensure a sufficient distance to
heat sources, do not subject lithium-ion batteries to
direct sunlight and make sure not to damage the
casing. Do not overcharge lithium-ion batteries. Only
use smart chargers that switch off automatically when
the battery is fully charged. Charge lithium-ion
batteries in due time before they are discharged
completely.
Caution
Keep a sufficient distance from heat sources.
Note
To prevent damages to the device, do not expose it to
extreme temperatures, extreme humidity or moisture.
Note
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the
device.

Information about the device
Device description
The particle counter is designed to measure the size and
number as well as the mass concentration 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 a
selectable duration and determines the size and number or
mass concentration of particles contained in it.
Particles sized 2.5μm and 10.0μm are treated equally during
this process.
The detected values for all active particle sizes are
simultaneously displayed on a colour display. Additionally, the
air contamination is indicated on a colour 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
concentration).
The device is equipped with an integrated measuring cell with
laser (class3R laser, 780nm, 1.5-3mW). Owing to the tamper-
proof 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.
The device can be connected to another terminal device via
Bluetooth. In combination with the Trotec MultiMeasure Mobile
App, there are numerous possibilities for evaluating and
displaying the measured values.
The measurement results can be displayed and saved on the
terminal device either numerically or in form of a chart. Then,
the measurement data can be sent in PDF or Excelformat.
The app also includes a report generation function, an organiser
function, one for customer management and further analysis
options. Moreover, it is possible to share measurements and
project data with colleagues in another subsidiary. If
MultiMeasure Studio Professional is installed on a PC, you can
even use report templates and ready-made text blocks for
various fields of application to turn the data into professional
reports.

Carrying out a measurement
Info
Please note that moving from a cold area to a warm
area can lead to condensation forming on the device's
circuit board. This physical and unavoidable effect can
falsify the measurement. In this case, the display
shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.
Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out
a measurement.
1. Remove the protective cap(10) from the measuring
funnel(1).
2. Point the device at the area to be measured.
3. Press the START button(6).
ðThe device counts down for approx.5s before starting
the measurement.
ð
The measurement will run for the measuring interval set.
ðThe measurement results are displayed for each
measurement channel.
