The 2.5 micron particulate works by laser scatter like a photelectric smoke detector works, not but what gets in between the laser and detector plate.

@electronicsNmore 3 жыл бұрын

Particle measurements are based on the fact that when a particle passes through a beam of light, some of the light is scattered. The detection of scattered light caused by the particle in the air is recorded on the photo or light detector sensor plate. Unfortunately I may not explain everything perfectly in my over 600 videos.

I have the TemTop m2000 and it is awesome, a bit more money but when it is a matter of life or death - I think we may need to spend a little more to not get a fake LOL. I see so many fake meters with only one sensor inside to give 6 or 7 different readings and that is just not possible, so many people are buying them thinking that the information is keeping them safe while all along the information is faked by mathematical equations performed by a micro-processor instead of genuine sensors. Hope this helps. You may also want to look at the TemTop M10 - it is a bit less expensive and is still up to the TemTop high standards of quality. I am getting ready to create a video about fake and legitimate meters and am looking forward to hopefully saving someones life from buying a fake meter.

I like the idea of this monitor and currently I'm on the search for one with multiple sensors such as this, however it looks like ill probably need to get a separate monitor for radon and ozone since its nearly impossible to find all of these in one. I live in Canada so Ozone isn't the biggest concern during winter months but when summer comes around there tends to be some smog and it is recommended that we have radon monitors. My only concern with this meter is the precision, for the price that it is, I cant see it being that precise even after calibration. I tried doing a bit of research to see if the company listed a variance but came up empty handed.

I have a good filter but dust still goes around. I dont get it. and cant clean the ducts since they are soft. hmmm and another testor i have works with smart phone which oddly takes a while to give reading. Calibrations for all these can be inacurate since an outdoor place in one place does not mean as clean as another. Maybe calibrate infront of a air filter. LOL

How fast do you have to press the power button twice to set the calibration. I'm not sure I did it correctly?

I have an earlier version of the meter and I tested the air on New Year and I was getting 200 to 400 on the PM2.5. Usually the air is around 10. Air with that much particulates is considered hazardous. That is why so many people end up in the emergency room on New Year.

What can I use to test incense? My neighbor is burning incense or oil and it is litetally killing me. I can hardly breath and the air is dense not fresh. She claims that she is not burning incense and I am crazy.

If it is putting out particulates the meter will pick it up

I need to test for fiberglass particles. I was diagnosed with fiberglass poisoning.

@electronicsNmore 3 жыл бұрын

The unit tests for ALL particles. Since you already have a health problem, I would suggest buying a higher priced, and more sensitive/accurate tester. I can provide a link if requested. Thanks for watching!

@@electronicsNmore I have had the house tested by a number of home inspectors proving that it’s loaded with fiberglass insulation and I’ve had Industrial air purifiers to take Most of it out but it’s still in all the furniture, on me and my clothes and in the air outside because of storm sandy in 2012. My problem is I can’t get anyone to believe that fiberglass is dangerous when it’s airborne and after researching for six years, it’s airborne everywhere and becomes airborne from our landfills all over the country, probably in the world. I can’t even find food without Fiberglass in it which is causing me to have colitis now. It’s been covered up just like asbestos was only it’s more dangerous because it affects more than the Lungs. What do you suggest when you find fiberglass in someone’s house? The EPA won’t help because it’s a residence. Thanks for any info you can give me, it is starting to affect my breathing now and I am frightened.

They work good considering the low cost. If you want higher accuracy and higher sensitivity units, be prepared to spend hundreds or more. Thanks for watching!
