6.1. Taking Measurements

The HT9600 is designed for quick and accurate air quality assessment.

  1. Ensure the device is powered on.
  2. Place the device in the area where you wish to measure air quality. Ensure the Sampling Air Inlet (1) is unobstructed.
  3. Press the RUN Measurement Button (6) to start the sampling process. The device will begin drawing in air and analyzing particles.
  4. The display (4) will show real-time readings for PM2.5, PM10, particle counts, temperature, and humidity.
  5. Allow the device to run for at least 120 seconds for stable readings.

6.2. Understanding Air Quality Readings

The device uses a color-coded schematic diagram to represent different pollution levels based on PM2.5 concentration. This provides a quick visual indicator of air quality.

  • Optimal: Average PM2.5 of 24 hours is 0-35 µg/m³ (Green)
  • Good: Average PM2.5 of 24 hours is 35-75 µg/m³ (Yellow)
  • Light Pollution: Average PM2.5 of 24 hours is 75-115 µg/m³ (Orange)
  • Moderate Pollution: Average PM2.5 of 24 hours is 115-150 µg/m³ (Purple)
  • High Levels of Pollution: Average PM2.5 of 24 hours is 150-250 µg/m³ (Brown)
  • Serious Pollution: Average PM2.5 in 24 hours > 250 µg/m³ (Red)
