1. Introduction

Figure 1: HAL-HPC301

Figure 1 shows the HAL-HPC301 three-channel handheld particle counter. The HAL-

HPC301 handheld optical particle counter utilizes laser technology for single particle

detection. A sampling flow is directed through a proprietary chamber designed to collect

scattered light and generate electrical pulses proportional to the size of the incident

particles. The HAL-HPC301 is a completely self-contained particle counter, that is, no

other parts are required to start monitoring or making particle count measurements. A

plethora of optional accessories are available to increase measurement confidence and

accuracy. Included software allows users to download the unit’s stored records via USB

connection. Bluetooth enabled wireless printing is also available to minimize cabling

requirements.

Alarm/Sound LevelsPrint/Save OptionsBluetooth Settings

Factory Settings

of 33 V1.1

delay can be set between 00:00 and 59:59.

Sample Interval

The sample interval is defined as the time between measurements. No data is

collected during the interval. The sample interval can be set between 00:00 and

59:59.

Sample Duration

The sample duration is defined as the time between measurements. No data is

collected during the interval. The sample duration can be set between 00:01 and

59:59.

Number of Samples

The number of samples to be collected. If the Save mode is set to Auto, the unit

will collect and store every sample. If the Save Mode is set to Avg, only the

average across the number of samples will be stored.

• When setting this number, keep in mind the run time of the entire

sampling procedure. Depending upon the battery charge, the user may

wish to plug the unit in to ensure all data is collected.

Material

This parameter only affects Mass Concentration (MC) and Particulate Matter (PM)

measurements. The particle density is used in MC and PM measurements, and

the standard usage is a Polystyrene Latex (PSL) particle. The HPC301 allows

users to choose from a list of predetermined densities. If the particle you are

measuring does not appear in the list, choose the User Defined option. Simply

enter the particle density of the particles to be measured, if known, in units of

g/cm3, i.e., the density of PSL is 1.05 g/cm3.

of 33 V1.1

• Particulate Matter and Mass Concentration measurement capabilities are

optional accessories for the HPC301. If your unit does not have this

capability and you require it, contact Hal Technology at

[email protected] or [email protected] for a quote.

Count Mode

All channels are counted as cumulative counts, and processed according to the

Count Mode setting. The user may choose from the following standard Count

Modes:

• Cumulative Counts,

• Differential Counts,

• Counts Per Liter,

• Counts Per Cubic Foot,

• Counts Per Cubic Meter,

and the following optional Count modes:

• Mass Concentration,

• Particulate Matter.

Location

Location codes can be made to correspond to facility locations. These codes will

be internal to the facility. For example, a main office may be set to M0, while a

branch office may be set to B0. Total of 260 unique identifiers are available.

Date & Time:

The date Format is YEAR – MONTH – DAY or YYYY – MM – DD. The time is

represented as a 24 hour clock and is formatted as HOUR : MINUTE : SECOND or

HH : MM : SS.

Preferences:

The preferences page allows users to select the color theme of the HPC301. The

available colors are Gray, Red, Green, and Blue.

The preferences page also allows the user to select the displayed unit of temperature.

The choices are °C (Celsius) and °F (Fahrenheit).

Alarm/Sound Levels:

The user has two options for preset alarm levels: FS209E and ISO standards. The

ISO is modified directly and the resulting FS209E is shown alongside. The user may

choose between the following preset alarm levels:

• ISO 3 / FS209E 1

• ISO 4 / FS209E 10

• ISO 5 / FS209E 100

• ISO 6 / FS209E 1,000

• ISO 7 / FS209E 10,000

• ISO 8 / FS209E 100,000

• ISO 9 / FS209E 1,000,000

The custom alarm level is a count limit imposed on every channel of the HPC301. If

any channel were to exceed this threshold, the alarm will sound.

• If the PRESET alarm is enabled, the channel sizes of the HPC301 will be

locked to 0.3 μm 0.5 μm and 5.0 μm. This is because the ISO and FS209E

standards used in the HPC301 are limitations set for these channel sizes.

• Enabling the Custom alarm does not inhibit the user from changing channel

sizes.

The sound option maybe be set to ON or OFF. Setting this option to OFF will not

of 33 V1.1

affect the alarm.

Print/Save Options:

A Bluetooth enabled printer is required for printing; contact Hal Tech for a quote. The

Print option can be set to either ON or OFF. When set to ON, the unit will print results

after a measurement based on the setting of the Save option. If the save option is set

to ON or OFF and the print option is ON, then every measurement will be printed. If

the save option is set to Average and the print option is on, only the average

measurement will be printed at the end of the measurement process.

The save option can be set to one of three options: ON, OFF, and Average. If set to

Off, no data is saved. If set to On, every sample is saved. If set to Average, only the

average of all the measurements is saved.

• The optional Bluetooth printer is required to print. If you would like to purchase

the printer, contact Hal Technology ([email protected]).

Bluetooth Settings:

The Bluetooth settings are for the optional Bluetooth enabled printer, which would be

included with the HPC301 if purchased. If you do not use the printing feature of this

unit, be sure to set the Bluetooth Power option to OFF. This will decrease the drain

on the battery. The Address option can be modified, and will correspond to the 6-byte

(48-bit) Bluetooth address of the printer. If the printer was purchased from Hal

Technology when the HPC301 was ordered, the printer will already be configured.

Selecting Connect and pressing the ENTER key will test the Bluetooth connection

between the module and the printer. Be sure that the printer is turned on before

attempting the Connect test.

suppose the HPC301’s channel sizes are set to 0.3 μm, 2.5 μm, and 10.0 μm. Particles

are counted based on thresholds, and any particle that meets the 2.5 μm threshold also

meets the 0.3 μm threshold. So, both the 0.3 μm and 2.5 μm channel counts are

incremented.

Differential Counts – The relative number of counts for a channel (referenced to the

next largest channel). For example, suppose the HPC301’s channel sizes are set to 0.3

μm, 2.5 μm, and 10.0 μm. If the cumulative counts for the channels are 24576, 8754,

and 48 respectively, then the differential counts are 15822, 8706, and 48 respectively.

Sample Delay – The time before the first measurement is taken in a series of samples.

No data is collected during the sample delay. The sample delay can be set between

00:00 and 59:59.

Sample Duration – The time during which samples are actually taken. Data IS collected

during the sample duration. The sample interval can be set between 00:01 and 59:59.

Sample Interval – The time between measurements. No data is collected during the

sample interval. The sample interval can be set between 00:00 and 59:59.
