Trotec PC220 Particle Counter 6-Channel

Particle Counter PC 220 - TROTEC

The PC220 particle counter is a portable measuring device combining particle analysis, gas detection, and climate control. Compliant with ISO 21501-4 standard, it features a photo-video camera to document each reading and facilitate indoor air quality monitoring in industrial, medical, or building environments.

Simultaneous measurements and intuitive display

The device evaluates six particle size channels in parallel, ranging from 0.3 to 10 µm. It also detects fine dust PM10 and PM2.5 expressed directly in µg/m³, while measuring formaldehyde (HCHO) and carbon monoxide (CO) gases. All data is displayed on a 2.8" color LCD screen with color bar and audible alarm in case of critical threshold exceedance.

Integrated environmental parameters

In addition to particle counting and gases, the PC220 tracks the following data:

Relative humidity

Air temperature

Dew point

Wet bulb temperature

Data storage and export

The PC220 records up to 5,000 measurements in its internal memory, expandable to 16 GB via MicroSD card. Thanks to the USB connection, results can be quickly transferred to a PC for processing or archiving.

Main applications

Indoor air quality control: compliance with health thresholds and pollutant detection

Building technical management: verification of ventilation networks and filter monitoring

Sanitation: detection of partition leaks during renovation work

Industrial filters: efficiency control and prevention of seal failures

Sensitive processes: monitoring of micro and nanoparticles (dust, aerosols, bacteria)

PC220 key features

6 channels from 0.3 to 10 µm for particle counting

PM10 and PM2.5 measurement in µg/m³

Integrated HCHO and CO detection

Filter efficiency evaluation

Climate parameters: RH, T°, dew point, wet bulb T°

Integrated photo/video camera

Memory 5,000 data points, expandable MicroSD 16 GB

Backlit color LCD screen

Audible alarm and color display

Ergonomic one-hand use and tripod threading

A precise tool for formaldehyde detection

Equipped with an HCHO sensor capable of measuring from 0.01 ppm, the PC220 meets the requirements related to the reclassification of formaldehyde as a carcinogenic substance in Europe. It contributes to risk assessment, regulatory documentation, and prevention of prolonged exposures.

Quantitative measurement of fine dust

The PC220 relies on the international PM classification (EPA) to quantify PM10 and PM2.5 dust. These readings are essential to limit the health impact of alveolar particles and ensure reliable monitoring in work environments.
