Steve. This is Robinhood from Portland Oregon. I was in the Unthank Plaza Fire. I'm saving for one of these. There is over 40 of us who are disabled and in danger. Thanks for posting these. I'm taking a break from homework and learning ❤🤝🏻
This is a fine unit from a technical standpoint, but the design is ancient and badly needs an update. The UI is terrible, and the computer interface is a serial cable (seriously). I'm surprised the instructional video doesn't come on a VHS tape.
Great fast moving informative video. I think the PROPER cable should come with it (does it?). Your website did was very lacking in specs (zero specs). I wanted to know if the $`199 one checked .5 and 2.5 and after this video I guess it does. Also, battery lasts only 6 hrs but is it rechargeable and how? Can you plug this into AC power or a laptop or? So many questions, so little time for answers but hey, keep up these great videos and make sure people see them on your website.
If you put the counter directly at an air source, you will get inaccurate readings. Forcing air in will change the amount of air being sampled, usually resulting in a higher reading.
It only measures particle size, not which sort. What you want to know is fine dust or pollen etc. If you for instance have a lot of watervapour in the room, this Dylos will also measure this, although it is harmless.
DigitalRaider1 That depends on the source. Vaporizers and ultrasonic humidifiers often produce droplets of < 5 micron. They are registered by the Dylos as small particles.
My Dylos DC1100Pro definately counts water vapor as particles 0.5 microns and up. If it is humid outside the meter will often read 2x to 5x the same reading on a low humidity day. Just raising the humidity in an enclosed chamber will give the same effect so I know the particle counts, other than water vapor, didn't cause the increase.
They still haven't updated and it's 2024. I wonder if it is a zombie company on auto pilot just selling small volumes to industry and government who already have the models approved for their use.
The enthusiastic presenter is behaving like a typical salesman.. very last Century! Instead they should pretend to be a dumb consumer asking awkward questions and conduct a Q&A interview with a technical expert on camera. Questions might include: Does the HUMIDITY in the room affect the readings? If so, can the device take that into account? Should the air in the room be still so there are no drafts etc? Will it measure levels of dust mites (approximately? And many other questions that consumers would like answers to. Move on, nothing to see here.

Can switch over the unit to microgram/m3?

Water vapor would be considered large microns. He mentioned that smaller microns are potentially more dangerous and the focus.

you can tell this company just is behind the times...who uses serial cables any more

Very high humidity will give higher readings. It will count the water vapor as particles. There is no calibration for it.
