Met One GT-526S 6-Channel Handheld Particle Counter
Met One Instruments’ GT-526S is a full-featured, six-channel battery-operated, portable particle
counter that provides the functionality of a bench unit with the convenience of a handheld. The six-
channels can be configured to factory calibrated standard sizes or user defined custom sizes. The
526S has two alarm limits and several communications options. It can store up to 8,000 samples
including temperature and relative humidity if the optional sensor is connected. Sample history can
be viewed on the unit’s display or printed if the optional printer is connected.
The GT-526S has six programmable particle sizes which the operator can set from 0.3 to 10 microns.
The 526S can store up to 8,000 sample events. These history events can be viewed, printed on the
optional printer and download to a computer using Comet software or simple ASCII terminal
commands. The GT-526S has two programmable count alarm limits. Alarms are indicated by a
displayed message and an alarm flag in the data file. Our-526S is battery powered with 24 hours of
typical (intermittent) operation or 10 hours of continuous operation from a single charge. Recharge
time is approximately 2.5 hours. A temperature / relative humidity plug-and-play sensor option
immediately adds ambient temperature and relative humidity data to the displayed and logged data.
