Environmental Monitoring Solutions
The system works on the 90-degree scattered light measurement principle on a single particle, considering signal duration and shape. Technology and algorithms were developed based on the EN 16450-certified Fidas ® 200.
Automatic calibration tracking of the measurement system allows operation for up to two years without recalibration. If necessary, the calibration status can be checked and corrected using a test dust calibrated by Palas.
Palas aerosol spectrometers are thus the only optical fine dust measuring instruments that can be calibrated against a traceable standard by the user at the point of operation.
Fidas® Smart 100 features Ethernet, WLAN, and mobile phone connectivity. All measured values are calculated and recorded directly and, if desired, can be transferred to Palas’ own cloud MyAtmosphere directly for visualization or further processing.
