Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. Testing is required in order for the 560 to report mg/ m3. Please refer to section 4 of the manual.​

A: Yes. EPA method 5 or 17.​

A: Optical density needs to be monitored during the Method 5 or 17 Particulate Mass testing. These points then need to be entered in the Dust Mass and Optical Density correlation curve in the 560 monitor.​

A: Yes, they can. The unit continues to measure and report opacity. However, what the unit displays depends on what measurement units (F0) are chosen. i.e. opacity/ optical density or particulate mass. Refer to User Bank Data in section 3 of the manual.​

A: Yes. The scaling can be programmed in the A Bank of the optical head and F0 (measurement units) can be set to Particulate Mass.​

A: No. You will need an Enhanced Remote Panel (ERP) if you would like to have both.​
