Uploading a Facility Map to Portable Particle Counters 
 

One of the benefits of the 3905 and 3910 units is the ability to upload a map file of your controlled environment. To do this you can use the included Scheduler Software to load a .BMP file image of your facility. The software will then let you create and number locations on the map where particle measurements need to be taken. Once the map and locations are setup you can then upload them to the portable particle counter which will display the map on-screen and prompt you to move to each indicated location during the measuring process. It's an easy way to ensure that the correct number of measurements are taken, and that they occur in the proper places.

 

 

To read more about the mapping function and other time saving features of our particle counter line-up visit our website. In addition to viewing product specifications you can download one of our free guides or applications notes.

 

If you're going to be at Interphex or ESTECH stop by our booth for a hands-on demonstration.

Save Money with a Service Package

A gold or silver calibration plan
purchased with your new particle counter will save you money in the long run. These plans offer several advantages: First, and most important, you will save money over the cost of having the unit calibrated annually for 3 years. Savings range from $220 to over $500 depending on the instrument and plan you purchase. If you have a gold plan there's never any charge for labor during the first three years of ownership and your instrument receives expedited service in our lab. Both gold and silver plans offer a 30% discount on all repair parts.

If you're monitoring for particles you know the importance of having an accurate instrument. Annual calibrations are the only way to ensure the validity of your measurements over time and are required by most regulatory guidelines. Buying a service plan at the time of your instrument purchase is the best economical option.

Service plans are currently offered on handheld particle counters, you can get more information about the benefits and savings on our website.
