Fluke 985 particle counter for monitoring indoor air quality

Fluke Corporation has released the Fluke 985 particle counter, a rugged, accurate meter that measures airborne particles to troubleshoot and monitor indoor air quality (IAQ).

The 985 is suitable for HVAC and IAQ professionals to verify cleanroom classifications and conduct HVAC filter testing and IAQ commissioning and investigations in hospitals, labs and other sensitive environments.

The particle counter has six particle size channels, with a range of 0.3 to 10 µm, which Fluke claims ensures accurate measurements. Its rugged, lightweight, ergonomic design allows easy single-hand operation, while in-device storage of 10,000 records allows easy access to historical data. The battery gives ten hours of standard use.

The counter has an 8.89 cm (3.5”) QVGC colour display with backlight and intuitive icons plus a large font option for easy navigation and viewing. It has configurable settings for the display, sample methods and sample size alarm. Data can be presented in traditional tabular format or as a trend graph and can be exported to a USB memory stick or directly to a PC via USB or Ethernet cable.

The meter meets ISO 21501, JIS B9921 and CE standards.

The 985 comes with: a cradle for charging and USB and Ethernet communications; ENET CAT5E cable; USB-A to MINI-B cable; 12 VDC power supply; zero count inlet filter; filter adapter; sample inlet protective cap; hard case; and getting started manual and user manual CD.
