VPC300 an Accurate, Capable Particle Counter Adds Photo & Video for Adding Context during Testing

The Extech VPC300 Particle Counter is quickly becoming the go-to instrument for HVAC, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), as well as Occupational Safety and workplace health professionals. Whether the job demands detail-intensive tasks like filter testing or extended diagnostics to address complaints about poor indoor air quality, the Extech VPC300 is the perfect tool for calculating concentrations of airborne particles. Plus, the VPC300’s advantages with image and video-taking capabilities help you tell a more complete story to customers, effectively increasing the trust they have in your work. With the Extech VPC300, you can easily address maintenance requests or complaints at residential or commercial sites. You can also rely on the durable and ergonomic VPC300 for everyday use in predictive maintenance routines. Extech’s VPC300 is a Particle Counter Workhorse The Extech VPC300 helps you:

• Perform essential Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) tasks like filter efficiency measurements
• Troubleshoot high particle counts by investigating root causes/sources
• Measure and report before-service and after-service data to customers, including images and video
• Ensure particle count limit compliance in industrial cleanrooms, diesel-particulate intensive sites, stone/aggregate processing facilities, milling facilities, etc.

How the Extech VPC300 Stands Out from Other Particle Counters:

For particle counter diagnostics, the VPC300 delivers with industry-standard results. The VPC300 reveals problems with 6 channels of particle sizes but the old saying still holds true: "A picture is worth a thousand words." With the VPC300, you can also take digital photos and video with the built-in camera, enabling you to report findings to clients or department managers with a concrete idea of where and what you’re working with. Data, images and video can be transferred easily via USB making it easy to email findings in raw or compressed formats. Sometimes, it takes just one compelling picture or video to get the "YES" to authorize repairs. The VPC300 helps you get to "YES." Use visual images along with measurements to help increase your business by identifying additional repairs and driving home how critical predictive maintenance programs can be. Powerful Capabilities: The handheld Extech VPC30 can simultaneously measure and display 6 channels of particle sizes (down to 0.3 μm) as well as valuable environmental metrics such as Air Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point and Wet Bulb. Use three function keys and an ergonomic control pad to intuitively navigate menus on the bright 2.8" TFT color LCD display. Store up to 5000 records (date, time, counts, humidity, temperature, sample volumes, and location label) as well as 20 minutes of video on the internal 74MB memory. Want more memory for longer videos? Add an optional microSD card for up to 8GB more storage (not included). Calibrated with NIST-traceable certification, the highly configurable Extech VP300 features three Particle Count Modes: Cumulative, Differential and Concentration modes. Users can define sample time, count data, and a programmable delay. Essential data functions include Max, Min, DIF, AVG record. The integrated QVGA 320x240-pixel camera takes videos (3GP) and photo images (JPEG) and records them in the internal memory. A tripod mount enables hands-free use and set-up flexibility for extended datalogging. Easily transfer readings via the mini-USB connection or with an optional memory card. Use the included software to generate professional reports for customers and site managers.
