Clean Room Particle Counter User Directions

Caution for Extremely Long Measurement Periods

The instrument is unsuitable for continuous measurements for a prolonged period. It may hasten deterioration of the light source and inner pump, and require maintenance in a shorter interval.

Sampling Environment

The instrument is designed for use in clean rooms or clean environments where the concentration is below the maximum measurable concentration of 2,000,000 particles/cf. Using the instrument in a high temperature/humidity environment or in an environment with high particle concentration may cause damage to the instrument or shorten the maintenance interval.
