TRIPLETT EPC175 Particle Counter
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett EPC175 Particle Counter/Air
Quality Meter. This device is a particle counter/ air quality detector that
includes several measurement types. It can detect PM2.5, PM10, HCHO, TVOC,
temperature and humidity.
This device uses a laser weight scattering test method and includes a
professional structure design and fan. It can precisely detect and monitor and
display PM2.5 and PM10, and indoor air quality. HCHO can detect formaldehyde
and TVOC can detect indoor harmful gas, alerting the user of any environmental
pollution. In order to detect PM2.5, PM10, HCHO and TVOC at the same time, it
adopts reliable power supply circuity to ensure all measurements are precise
and stable and operate for extended periods of time.
Features
- 3.0’’ TFT LCD Display，240*400 Pixels
- Measures mass concentration of PM2.5/PM10
- Measures HCHO & TVOC
- Measures Temperature & Humidity
- 5000 groups of sampling data
- Auto Power Off (APO)
Description
METER DESCRIPTION
- Set/Up Button: Long press to enter/exit the settings page; Short press to switch measurement displaying in measure page, or to turn on in settings/memory page.
- ON/OFF/ENTER Button: Long press to startup/shutdown; Short press to enter/exit in settings/memory page.
- Memory/Down Button: Long press to enter/exit the memory page; Short press to switch measurement displaying in measure page, or to down on in settings/memory page.

Operation Power
ON/OFF
- In shutdown mode, long press ON/OFF/ENTER key until the screen light, device will power ON.
- In startup mode, long press ON/OFF/ENTER key until the screen off, device will power OFF..
Display Description (Measurement Data Areas)
-
After powered ON and start up the meter will display and measure data continuously. The measurements consist of PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, HCHO, temperature and humidity readings. The meter will refresh the screen and toggle between a display of PM10, TVOC, and HCHO every 15 seconds. You can short press
ON/OFF/ENTER key to switch display manually. -
PM2.5, PM10 and TVOC need 40 seconds warm-up time, during this time the last measurement recorded is displayed. The analog bar graph shows, air quality and has six alarm levels. If the air is polluted, the meter will alarm based on the reading value of measured data the display will change color. All alarms are based on real time data.
Auto Power OFF (APO), Sleep and Wake-Up Modes
-
Auto Power OFF/Sleep Mode
The meter can be set to auto power off or auto sleep. If there are long intervals without change in operation, the meter can auto power off or auto sleep to save consumption. -
Wake-Up (Button Press)
This meter can awake form shutdown status by long press of
ON/OFF/ENTER key. -
Wake-up (Noise)
Noise also can be used to awaken the metere, for example striking table can awaken the meter from sleep status to measure status. This meter can awake by noise within 30 minutes after shutdown.
Memory
In the measurement page a LONG PRESS of the MEM/Down button enters and exits
the memory page.
The MEMORY page will dynamically display the latest curve of measurement data.
To view the static measurement data, SHORT PRESS of the
ON/OFF/ENTER button.
In static MEMORY page, the meter displays the static curve of measurement
data, a SHORT PRESS of the Up/Down button will view the detail of historical
data one by one.
The meter can record memory data as many as 5000 points, which contents
include PM2.5, PM10 and record times. In MEMORY page, one curve includes (8)
data point/measurements. Indications are – a bright spot for the data, dark
spot for connection, and a dot for the current data. A SHORT PRESS of the
Up/Down button will display before and after historical data.
Settings
Time Settings
Time can be set up hourly (12 hours or 24 hours), AM/PM, date and time. Short
press Up/Down key to change time settings, and short press
ON/OFF/ENTER key to confirm, after confirm all setting items then exit and
back to the main menu of settings page.
Auto Power Off/Auto Sleep Settings
APO can set up auto power off/auto sleep time as 10~120 minute or no auto power off/auto sleep.
Unit Settings
Temperature units can be set up for unit of temperature as Celsius(℃) or
Fahrenheit(℉), the default is Celsius.
Alarm Settings
Alarms can be set for the start point of PM2.5 alarm as 10ug/m3, 35ug/m3,
75ug/m3, 150ug/m3, 200ug/m3 or no alarm, which default is 35ug/m3. If PM2.5
alarm is enable, the meter will beep when concentration of PM2.5 is so high as
to beyond the set start point of PM2.5 alarm.
Brightness Settings
Screen Brightness can be set, there are (5) levels of screen brightness.
Noise Sensor Settings
