Particle Monitor
Particle Monitor LPM II
The development of STAUFF's LPM II Particle Monitor is based
on the experience that has been gained using the familiar
LasPaC II series analysis units.
By contrast with the previous LPM I version, the LPM II
Particle Monitor determines the degree of contamination of
WKHPHDVXUHGXLGRQHLJKWFKDQQHOVDQGRIIHUVPRUHSUHFLVH
and more complete determination of the particle size in
accordance with international standards.
It is available in two versions:
LPM II-D with display and keypad
LPM II-O without display and keypad
(Either unit is available with an integrated moisture sensor)

Product Characteristics
Increased Precision And Resolution
The LPM II Particle Monitor uses newly developed high-performance LEDs, which provide an precise image of the degree of
contamination in the hydraulic system.
Thanks to the large number of measuring channels, it is

Permanent Installation For Continuous Monitoring

The LPM II has been specially developed for continuous monitoring of the hydraulic system. Due to the permanent installation Representation of the measured values by means of real-time system analysis

Another feature that the LPM II offers is the option to specify
