persons due to potentially explosive substances.
Warning
This signal word indicates a hazard with an average
risk level which, if not avoided, can result in serious
injury or death.
Caution
This signal word indicates a hazard with a low risk
level which, if not avoided, can result in minor or
moderate injury.
Note
This signal word indicates important information (e.g.
material damage), but does not indicate hazards.

Definitions
Term
Meaning
Differential
(Analysis)
The device counts the effectively
measured particles per separate
channel within the set measuring
period. There is no averaging as in
concentration
mode. Measuring in
differential
mode is therefore more
precise.
Example:
The measuring device shows
100 particles in the 0.3 μm channel and
30 in the 0.5 μm channel. The
differential data is 100 particles
> 0.3 μm and < 0.5 μm, and 30
particles > 0.5 μm.
Wet-bulb temperature The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest
temperature below the current
surrounding conditions which can be
reached by the evaporation of water.
Coincidence loss
When measuring high concentrations of
particles, it may happen that two
particles are so close to each other that
they are counted as one (mostly larger)
particle.
Concentration
(Analysis)
Adding up of the measured values per
separate channel directly from the first
seconds of a measurement.
Every second of the running measuring
period the device calculates the
respective average per channel from
the determined values and the resulting
volume.
