No, it reads thousands of particles per cubic foot, so no way to measure 100 particles per square foot. That would be 0.1 on the display but the display doesn't read to tenths, just units. Lowest non-zero reading would be 1, i.e., 1000 perticles per square foot. A zero reading could mean 900 so that's not good enough. I sold my unit to someone with a woodworking shop concerned about particulate concentrations. For him, it's fine.pclab":mi45igff said:[post]12626[/post] Larry, the one you bought doesn't make the necessary readings??
So, you were duped with your Dylos refurb on E-Bay? That sucks.LarrySabo":1p6k23pt said:No, it reads thousands of particles per cubic foot, so no way to measure 100 particles per square foot.

No, I was a victim of my poor reading comprehension. The item was clearly stated to measure thousands of particles per cubic foot at 0.5 micron sensitivity and Dylos confirmed that that was it's correct spec, that they did indeed refurbish the unit to spec, and that the seller was an honourable reseller of their. Nobody's fault but my own.lcoughey":38hiq1ni said:So, you were duped with your Dylos refurb on E-Bay? That sucks.
Still sucks. I am sure that they do it that way to make it look better than it is. I still stand by my statement that you were duped.LarrySabo":s4s4sxd2 said:No, I was a victim of my poor reading comprehension.
