Optical Sensor
Met One’s forward-laser light scatter technology offers uniquely broad particle size detection. The all-new Aerocet 380 has an ultra-low detection limit, down to 0.1 micron particle size and 1.0µg/m3 particle sensitivity, with a unit detection range of 0 to 100,000µg/m3. The continuous flow optical sensor is coupled with purge air to ensure accurate measurements in a wide range of environments without performance degradation.
Highly Portable
This sleek, aluminum, all-in-one desktop instrument provides continuous sampling with an AC adapter or 8 hours with batteries that fully charge in less than 3 hours. The Aerocet 380’s user-friendly interface comes complete with download utility software easily accessed via Wifi. User-adjustable sample times include 1-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 30-minute, and 1-hour intervals which facilitates environmental profiling in various applications. Ideal for both long-term or remote sampling, a large display offers ease in viewing from across the room.
User Friendly
Two buttons and a rotary dial enable easy access to menu-driven setup and sampling. The Aerocet 380 offers selected sample modes of μg/m3 or mg/m3 and alphanumeric location IDs, giving the user the ability to identify a unique name to a location or sampling area. This dust monitor can store up to 15,000 sample records which are easily accessed on-screen or downloaded to a computer with the included utility software.
