1. The ParticleScan Lite Operating Instructions 1 How to charge the ParticleScan Lite a To charge the ParticleScan Lite connect the AC adapter to the input socket located on the side of the device Caution only use the supplied AC adapter Other AC adapters may damage the ParticleScan Lite b Fully charged the ParticleScan Lite should provide approximately 4 hours of continuous operation c When the battery power level becomes low the green Low Battery indicator will flash It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the ParticleScan Lite 2 How to take airborne particle measurements a Take the ParticleScan Lite out of the carrying case and remove the protective red rubber cap from the air intake nozzle located at the top of the ParticleScan Lite Note do not operate the ParticleScan Lite with the cap in place as this may damage the internal pump b Connect the supplied isokinetic probe to the air intake nozzle with the attached plastic tube The ParticleScan Lite is now ready for sampling c Turn ParticleScan Lite on with the ON OFF switch located on the right side of the device A humming sound indicates that the pump is drawing in air for sampling d Immediately after it is switched on the instrument starts a short countdown until its first particle reading The particle reading is updated every 2 seconds thereafter e The particle reading appearing in the display represents the concentration of particl2. ce Contact the Technical Support at 1 888 560 1020 to have your ParticleScan recalibrated To Buy Visit www sylvane com or call 800 934 9194 For Product Support Contact IQAir at 1 877 715 4247 The ParticleScan Lite Description and Specifications The ParticleScan Lite Kit includes e ParticleScan Lite Protective Carrying Case AC Adapter Battery Charger Purge Filter e Isokinetic Probe for sampling Airborne Particle Counter ParticleScan Lite Features 1 Isokinetic Probe for sampling Air Intake Nozzle Low Battery Indicator 2 3 4 8 Digit LED Display 5 6 ON OFF Switch Input Socket for AC Adapter Battery Charger Minimum sensitivity 0 3 microns Light Source laser diode Measurement Unit Particles per cubic foot Sample Time 2 seconds updates every 2 sec Flow Rate 0 025 cubic foot per minute Size HxWxD 8x 4x 2 inches Weight 1 6 pounds 0 71 kg Power 120V AC adapter battery charger Battery 6V rechargeable Ni MH pack recharge time approx 4 hours operating time up to 4 hours Specifications are subject to change without notice 320 10 10 40_PSLite_US_0907
3. es 0 3 um or larger per cubic foot of air f To switch the ParticleScan Lite off set the ON OFF switch to the off position Note for storage and transport the protective red rubber cap must always be placed over the air intake nozzle 3 Testing and cleaning the sensor a After repeated readings in dusty or polluted environments the particle sensor may accumulate contaminants As a result the particle reading may become inaccurate b To test the sensor a purge filter is supplied with the ParticleScan Lite Simply connect the plastic tube from the purge filter to the air intake nozzle and switch the ParticleScan Lite on i If the particle reading reaches zero after a few readings the sensor is clean ii If the particle reading does not reach zero within a few minutes this may be an indication of sensor contamination In such a case leave the ParticleScan Lite running for several hours with the purge filter attached Should the readout then still not show a zero count the ParticleScan Lite should be returned for cleaning and recalibration c Two basic steps can be taken to reduce the accumulation of contaminants on the sensor i Measurements in very polluted environments should be avoided ii The purge filter zero count test should be performed regularly after a few hours of use 4 Calibration and Service The ParticleScan should be calibrated once per year to ensure continuous accurate and reliable performan
