2301 Remote Airborne Particle Counter

Particles Plus Remote Particle Counters

Model 2301

0.3 – 25.0 µm @ 0.1 CFM

The 2301 particle counter provides a range of particle size measurement from 0.3 or 0.5 to 25.0 μm at a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM). These sensors allow for efficient particle counting with specifications that exceed the ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921 calibration standards.

These sensors have 4 fixed particle size channels and are equipped with an integral critical orifice and flow sensor to provide a stable flow rate from an external vacuum source. Integration into a building automation or facility monitoring system is easy via isolated RS-485 Modbus communication.
