APDA-371
Ambient Dust Monitor
The APDA-371 is a robust ambient dust (particulate matter) monitor that uses the proven principle of beta-ray attenuation on a tape filter. It provides accurate, automatic hourly measurements of PM levels—compliant with regulatory standards and engineered for reliable long-term outdoor deployment.
Why Choose APDA-371
Highly Accurate PM Detection – Uses beta-ray attenuation for precise measurement of particulate concentrations.
-
Low-Maintenance Design – Operates continuously for weeks without needing operator intervention.
-
Built-In Self-Diagnostics – Performs automatic zero/span checks and drift monitoring to ensure ongoing calibration.
-
Convenient Data Interface – Stores digital data on-board with flexible output for easy retrieval and analysis.
