5 Operation - Mass
Concentration Mode
Introduction This chapter describes how to use the HANDHELD 3016 IAQ Particle
Counter in Mass Concentration mode.
Much of the material in this chapter repeats that found in Chapter 3.
The redundancy allows the user to operate the instrument in either
Particle or Mass Concentration mode without having to flip back and
forth between chapters.
The primary differences found in Mass Concentration mode, vs.
Particle mode, are:
1. Data must be normalized to cubic meter to match the IAQ
standard.
2. Data, whether seen on the Main screen or in View Buffer, are
displayed in micrograms per cubic meters.
3. Some screens differ from those in Particle mode.
