Open-Box: Dylos DC1100 PRO Laser Particle Counter – with Computer Interface

The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that the air quality indoors can be up to 10 times worse than the air quality outdoors – even in the most industrialized cities. So how to know the quality of your indoor air? 

The Dylos PRO Laser Particle Counter is a breakthrough product that detects and tracks particulates accurately to reveal indoor air quality wherever you need it.

Laser Technology

Laser particle counters are sophisticated monitors used for the quick and accurate measurement of airborne particle concentrations. Traditional units are extremely high-priced and are often used in hospitals, laboratories and clean room facilities – where clean air is critical.

The Dylos DC1100 PRO Laser Particle Counter innovative air quality monitor uses the same laser technology as traditional units, to give you the same accurate readings. This monitor has been redesigned to expressly meet the needs of home users – at an affordable price.

Particle Counts

As air is cycled through the unit, both small and large particles are counted and displayed.

• Small Particles Include: fine dust, bacteria, mold, smoke, and smog.
• Large Particles Include: coarse dust, pollens, larger bacteria, plant spores, pet dander and dust mite feces.

Anyone with allergies or asthma can use this information to specifically monitor their trouble areas. Someone with an allergy to pollen, for example, will be especially interested in their air’s large particle count.

PC Interface Option

The DC1100 PRO with PC Interface has all the features of the standard model but also allows you to download the air quality data to a PC for graphing and analysis. A 9-pin serial cable (not included) links the DC1100 to your PC or laptop to transfer the data as it’s sampled.  You can use any terminal program on the PC to communicate with the DC1100. If your OS does not include a terminal program, you will need to purchase one separately. Serial cables are available at most office supply stores, and terminal programs are easy to download.

NOTE: Any software that comes with the cable must be installed before using. If your PC lacks any COM ports, you’ll need to purchase a COM Port to USB adapter to use with the cable.

Portable and Versatile

These Dylos units are small and lightweight, allowing you to easily test all areas of your home. Take it anywhere you spend large portions of your day indoors. Use the information to take action to protect yourself and your family. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that the air you breathe is safe and healthy.
