Dust Monitor PCE-RCM 10
Portable handheld device for monitoring particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air / 2.5 µm and 10 µm particle sizes / Measures air temperature and relative humidity
The PCE-RCM 10 is a portable handheld dust monitor used to monitor particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air. Designed to aid in indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments, this dust monitor also measures air temperature and relative humidity (RH). The dust monitor can be powered either by the built-in rechargeable battery or the USB port. The USB port also is used to charge the battery. At full charge, the battery provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation or unlimited operation when plugged into a USB power source. The dust monitor displays all measurements simultaneously on the device's 2.4" full-color LCD screen. PM values appear the largest in the colors green, yellow, gold, orange, pink and red. This visual color-coding system makes it easy to recognize when PM concentration levels become dangerous, allowing for quick action.
When inhaled, PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles can settle deep into the lungs and result in damaging health effects. Since the dust monitor monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters for HVAC system performance and filtration audits. In addition, industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals rely on PM 2.5 and PM 10 dust monitors when evaluating occupational health and safety risks related to hazardous and combustible dust.
