Safety information
General notes and warnings
This operation manual must be read completely before using the
Partector 2. Incorrect use or handling and any consequences arising from
this may damage the device or endanger personnel.
The manufacturer declines all liability resulting from incorrect use and
handling.
Safety notes
Never operate the instrument at condensing conditions.
Do not blow into the instrument.
Do not open the Partector 2 as you may damage it.
The Partector 2 is a sensitive instrument made for measuring
nanoparticles. Sampling too much coarse dust will eventually lead to
deteriorating instrument performance. Use a cyclone when measuring in
environments where large numbers of microparticles might be present.
Do not operate the Partector 2 in an explosive atmosphere or in the
presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Have your instrument recalibrated once a year.
Use only the original USB power supply and USB cable.

Getting started
Instrument description
The Partector 2 (Light Version) is a hand-held, battery powered instrument
to measure the lung deposited surface area (LDSA). It displays the
measured data on a graphical display and stores it on a SD card. A user-
defined LDSA alarm level can be set. If the alarm level is exceeded, the
instrument’s internal buzzer is turned on to produce an audible warning.
The device can communicate with Android smartphones that support BT
low energy.

Aerosol inlet and outlet
The aerosol inlet is located at the top of the instrument. The internal pump
provides a regulated air flow of about 0.5 l/min. The standard aerosol inlet
has a 6-mm barb for tubing connection and contains a coarse wire mesh
to keep coarse dirt and small insects out of the instrument.
The air exits the device via the slits in the right-hand side of the housing.
Note that the air is not filtered internally, so do not connect the instrument
to hazardous nanoparticle sources!
Tubing
When using the Partector 2 with tubing make sure not to use
conductive silicone tubing. It releases silanes which lead to rapid
fouling of the Partector's corona wire. We recommend using PVC tubing
instead –a nice flexible version is Tygon S3 E-3603, a sample of which
is included in the Partector 2 case. If in doubt about using tubing, please
contact us. In any case, tubing should only be as long as necessary to
prevent particle losses in the tubing.

Supplying power
To chargethe Partector 2 or to operate it forperiods longerthan the battery
lifetime, connect the Partector 2 USB port to a PC, Laptop or to a USB-
charger or to a mobile power bank to charge the device.
While charging, the blue charge LED on the front panel lights up. When
the Partector 2 is fully charged, the LED turns off.
The Partector 2 supports fast charging (1.5A charging current). For
optimum charging, use the original USB power supply and USB cable.
Some PC’s and USB power supplies only provide 0.5A charging current,
which will prolong the charging duration.
Turning the device on and off
To switch on the device, press the power button. To turn it off, press and
hold the power button for two seconds and release it when the goodbye
message appears.

Insert / remove SD-card
To store data on the microSD-card, insert it in the Partector 2 as shown in
Figure 3 till it snaps in.
To remove the SD-card, press on the inserted
card which will force the release. To insert the
card in your SD-card slot on a PC you need to
insert the card first in the SD/SD-card adapter or
SD/USB adapter provided.
Recording measurements on the SD-card
If a SD-card is inserted in the Partector 2 before startup, the device
automatically starts recording on the SD-card when the device is turned
on. It automatically generates a filename depending on start date, time
and device serial. For more information about this, read the “Partector 2
data file” section.
If you insert the SD-card while the device is running, the data
logging will not start automatically. You need to turn the device
on after inserting the card. The Partector 2 will complain that
the SD card is missing if it is not in the slot at startup. When the
Partector 2 is recording data, you can see a blinking red dot in
the status bar of the main screen.
Do not remove the SD-card while the device is running. The data file
needs to be closed properly, otherwise it will be corrupt.

Keypad functions & symbols
In the picture below, you can see the Partector 2 (Light Version) display
screens:

Figure 4: Partector 2 (Light Version) menu screens
Home screen
On the home screen you can see the LDSA, the number concentration,
the average particle diameter, date and time and the charge state of the
battery. If no key is pressed for more than one minute and the low power
option is activated in the configuration, the display goes dark to prolong
battery life. By pressing any key, the display turns on again.
The lightning symbol indicates that the high
voltage in the charger is on and working properly.
The blinking red dot indicates that data is being
written on SD-Card.
The exclamation mark indicates that an error
occurred at some point during the current
measurement.
Color coding of LDSA values
The LDSA display is color-coded to provide a quick assessment of air
quality. LDSA values below 50 m2/cm3are displayed in green, values
above 250 m2/cm3in red, and values in between in yellow.
