16Operation5.2 SetupThe MET ONE 237 particle counter is ready to use when unpacked, but make sure thatthe red sensor inlet cap is removed and the isokinetic probe is attached prior to sampling(refer to section 3.2.1 on page 10). If the RH/T probe is used, attach it before the counteris turned on.5.3 Counting modesThe MET ONE 237 particle counter exhibits various counting modes—Manual mode,Automatic mode, Concentration mode and Beep mode.5.3.1 Manual modeNote: The factory default setting for the counting mode is the Manual mode.5.3.1.1 Factory default settingsTable 2 lists the default parameters that are programmed at the factory.
