A true Laser Particle Counter with 2 size ranges (>0.5 & >2.5 microns) - small (bacteria, mold, etc) large (pollen, etc.) Plus PM2.5 and PM10 readings.

The DC1700-PM is an improved version of the DC1700 battery operated air quality monitor. The DC1700-PM can display the particle readings as either particle concentration (>0.5um,>2.5um) or as mass concentration in PM2.5/PM10 (ug/m3) for direct comparison to the EPA. It features technology and engineering that allow monitoring of indoor and outdoor air quality. The user can easily switch between displaying mass (PM2.5/PM10) or concentration (>0.5 micron/>2.5 micron). The LCD also includes a dynamic bar graph showing instantaneous particle activity. Like earlier models it has multiple modes including minute, hour, day and monitor to evaluate your air quality, but also includes the following features:

Field Adjustment for PM2.5

Particles in different areas will have different characteristics which can produce errors in the PM2.5 readings of light scattering monitors. The DC1700-PM has a menu which allows the user to enter a correction factor based on local readings from the nearest government monitoring station.


Battery Operation

The DC1700-PM has an internal battery which provides up to 6 hours of continuous use (one or more days of typical usage) on a single charge. The DC1700-PM can also be operated off AC using the included wall adapter


PC Interface Included

The DC1700-PM includes the DylosLogger 3.0 program which can download the stored data along with the time it was taken. This data is output in a format ready to load into a spreadsheet program such as Excel for further graphing or analysis. A 9pin serial cable or USB-to-COM Port Adapter (not included) is needed to link the DC1700-PM to your PC or laptop. In addition to the DylosLogger the DC1700-PM data can be downloaded by any terminal program or custom software.

Large Internal Memory

The DC1700-PM has a large internal memory which can store up to a week's worth of time-stamped data recorded every minute (over 10,000 samples). This means that the DC1700-PM can be left in a location sampling and then brought to a PC where the data can then be downloaded and loaded into Excel or other spreadsheet programs for analysis. The internal data can be downloaded as either particle concentration or mass concentration.


Real Time Clock

The DC1700-PM has a real time clock which is used to time stamp the data in stored internal memory. The user can set the time and date easily from the front panel of the DC1700-PM.


EMI Shielding Included

The DC1700-PM is shielded against Electro-Magnetic Interference. This means it will count accurately even in close proximity to sources of interference, such as industrial machinery, fluorescent lights, and high voltage power supplies found in some air purifiers.


Rapid Update

The DC1700-PM has the rapid update feature when configured for particle concentration so that readings will respond fully to a change in particle concentration within 6 seconds allowing the easy testing of air purifiers and filters. In PM2.5/PM10 mass concentration the readings are averaged over 60 seconds.
