Preparation Before Measurement
AC adapter
Be sure to use the provided AC adapter when using the Main unit.
Warm-up
If the device is brought in from a different temperature place, prior to a measurement, let
the device allow adapt the current temperature environment. Be sure to warm up the
device at least for 10 minutes before starting a measuring. A sudden temperature change
may cause a measurement error.
Measurement Procedures
Internal Cleaning
Prior to use, purge the device (Interior cleaning) with the Zero Filter.
Remove the Inlet Protective Cap, and attach the Zero Filter to the inlet.
Turn the power on and press the Start button to perform a continuous measurement for
10 to 15 minutes. When the measuring count value is stable and confirm the value is
retained at least for 10 seconds, finish a measurement.
(If the value doesnʼt reach to zero, block the inlet of the Zero Filter for a few seconds to
accelerate the cleaning while measuring.)
Remove the Zero Filter from the inlet.
Measurement
Connect the Tygon Tube to the inlet. (Using the Tube leads to less influence by the
ambient environment.)
Set the required setup on the General setup and Measurement setup sub-menus.
Set the measurement conditions in the Measurement mode, and select the measurement
conditions in the Preset.
Return to the Main screen. Press the Start button to perform a measurement.
The measurement will complete automatically or by pressing the Stop button.
The previous measurement results can be viewed from the History sub-menu.
Do not run the device for eight (8) hours or more per day.
Try to avoid a suction sampling in the general atmosphere. A suction sampling in the
general atmosphere may cause contamination in the optical system, resulting in providing
unstable measurement.

Errors
The following errors can occur by the self-diagnostic function. Even if an error occurs, the
measurement and other processes will be continued.
Laser power failure
The laser diode may be defective or reached the end of its life.
Flow rate
The pump current is increasing or decreasing. If the inlet
Protective Cap is attached, remove the Cap. If the error
persists, the pump may be defective or reached the end of its
life.
Maximum
measurable
concentration
is exceeded
The concentration exceeds the maximum measurable range.
Perform the measurement at a cleaner location or attach the
Zero Filter to the device to measure.
User Interface
Title Screen
Turn on the power to the device. After four (4) seconds, the Main screen will appear
automatically. Or tap the Title screen to go to the Main screen.
Main Screen
