DYLOS AIR SERIAL

the monitor comes with a chart giving qualitative descriptions of air quality keyed to various particle number readings. a 1 micron/5 micron model spits out two readings, say 200/20 which is intepreted as reading of 200 particles all the way down to 1 micron in size and 20 particles 5 microns or above (therefore there are 180 particles between betwen 1 and 5 microns). I bought the standard calibrated model - 1 micron/5micron - because I'm cheap (smiley) also because of the way the monitor works and my assumptions about smaller particles being present in roughly the same relative numbers as larger particles across the range of cleaner/dirtier environments. the people at Dylos (I think it's a husband and wife cottage company) are easy to deal with, acknowledged emails, etc.the more exotically calibrated models took longer to ship out but I recall everybody got theirs within 2-3 weeks of the closing date. Post and the only shipping fees were postal $11.86 U.S., then Cdn. In the Sawmill Creek group buy there was a closing date to submit orders and whatever the total number of orders was at that time, that dictated the % discount. I don't recall the % discounts but if it was 30% for 100 or more unit buys of versions, all buyers got 30% off, regardless of which version they opted for. Dylos allowed individuals in the group buy to choose whatever particle size count version they wanted and all members in the group still got the percentage group discount. Oh, and make sure when you do order that they show 'Made in USA' on the outside of the package so that you don't have to pay duty.ДЄlong with several other Canadians I was in on the Sawmill Creek group buy last year and can answer a few questions. This would be a really cool item for Lee Valley to carry. I am very happy that chose to get in on the last purchase - this little unit has really eased my mind a lot. Anyway, good luck with the group purchase. If all I can show is that I've dealt with the 1.0Вµm and bigger particles, am I still leaving a lot of <1Вµm particles in the air? No way to know for sure. My reasoning was that if I prove to myself that I'm taking care of the 0.5Вµm particles then I know that I've also dealt with the 1Вµm particles, but the converse may not be true. I went for the 0.5/5.0Вµm model for the reason stated above (more dangerous size) and because of the chart Dylos has (had?) on their website relating the results from their 2 channel model to an expensive multichannel meter. I already have one, so I'm not interested in the group buy, but just wanted to relate my experience and choice. This would influence how many buyers and therefore how much of a discount.ДЇolks responding here to say if you are in may help encourage others to get in for further discounts. Just folks here on Canadian Woodworking, or other forums such as SMC? I don't see any discussion there right now. How widely publicized will this group buy be? I.e. If this is the case, it might be beneficial for us to try and agree upon one or two models to maximize the discounts. If 40 units were bought, but it was only 10 of each model the discount would only be 10% Is this true? It seems that the previous buy was based on total units and not model units. It appears from the form that the discounts are based on a per model basis? I.e. I've got a few questions/comments though.

However, the PC interface would require the purchase of a Serial to USB adapter, increasing the costs for the PC port by $50-$75.

Likely the DC1100 PRO (0.5Вµ and 2.5Вµ) model, but I'm considering the PC interface.
