Product Description
The PMT® 8506-30 Handheld Particle Counter
measures within a range of 0.5 to 75.0 μm at a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM). With the industry’s highest concentration limit of 15,000,000 particles/ft³ at 10% coincidence loss, it is ideally suited for research, industrial safety, indoor air quality, and cleanroom applications.
It offers over 10 hours of continuous operation with a powerful lithium-ion battery and features the industry’s first sleep and power conservation mode. Together with comprehensive self-diagnostics and an on-board pulse height analyzer, maximum reliability is ensured.
The counter displays up to 6 channels simultaneously, including temperature and humidity readings, on a 4.3″ color touchscreen display. With Ethernet, USB, and optional wireless connectivity, the device integrates seamlessly into facility monitoring or cloud-based systems.
Technical Specification
The PMT® 8506-30 covers a measurement range of 0.5 to 75.0 μm with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM). It is factory-calibrated at 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, and 30.0 μm and supports up to 6 channels. The counting efficiency is 50% at 0.5 μm and 100% for particles >0.75 μm.
The maximum concentration limit is 15,000,000 particles/ft³ at 10% coincidence, validated up to 30,000,000 particles/ft³. The device uses a long-life laser diode, features an internal pump with automatic flow control, and includes a HEPA filter.
Data is displayed on a 4.3″ color touchscreen display, and the internal memory stores 45,000 records, 1,000 sample locations, and 50 recipes. For communication, Ethernet and USB ports are standard, with optional Wireless 802.11 b/g available.
The housing is made of impact-resistant plastic, with compact dimensions of 13.0 × 10.8 × 31.1 cm and a weight of only 1.0 kg, making it portable. The warranty is 5 years, with 1 year coverage on the blower.
