1. Warm up Time An initial warm up period of 15 minutes is recommended before sampling with the APC ERGOTOUCH Airborne Particle Counter The warm up period allows time for the optics to reach a steady state temperature This will have the effect of more reproducible results Neglecting the warm up time may result in overestimation of particle size approximately 10 Neglecting the warm up time will not have a significant effect on particle concentration therefore a zero count can still be performed without waiting for the warm up period Main Menu and Basic Operation Press MENU on the Default Screen to enter and display the main menu MAIN MENU Menu Settings Settings Set language initially English only time and date time and day format and screen settings Sample Set sample mode cycle mode sample time hold time cycle count sample units and middle channel size Settings Sample Menu Buffer Menu Utility Menu Buffer View the number of records stored in the APC ERGOTOUCH display buffer records and clear the buffer Utility Adjust the pump speed turn data logging on and off and select the sampling location ET 1 0 en Operation and Service Manual January 2009 English Basic Operation This section explains the basic operation using the integrated keypad and starting sampling Using the Keypad Right Soft Key Navigate Up Return to A Previous P Navigate Down Use the Up and Down key2.
