The FMS 375 has to be connected to the sampling points of a test set-up. These are then individually controlled via the automated switching unit. If necessary, the sample is conditioned before characterisation by means of the dilution systems. The dilution factor can be varied in three steps. The particle inlet concentration defines the necessity for none, one or two dilution systems for lowering the concentration towards the acceptable concentration range for the aerosol spectrometer. Afterwards, the conditioned aerosol passes the measuring cell of the aerosol spectrometer.\r\nThe measurement zone is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths, which originates from two laser diodes with high lifetime. The light, which is scattered by the particles or droplets, is collected and recorded by a photodetector. The optical signals are converted into electrical ones and are processed. Signal evaluation is performed by the firmware. Results like the particle size distribution and the particle number concentration are visualised on a display.
