Features
The COM-3010 PRO is a wide range, functional, compact and lightweight digital air ion counter to measure
negative ions generated by natural ores and ceramics, that emit a very small dose of radiation.
It works in 5 measurement modes and provides stable measurement.
The detector detects radiation and converts it to the negative ion count, so it is less likely to be affected by air flow.
Advantages
1. 5 measurement modes enable efficient measurement.
2. It can measure up to 100,000 (pcs/cc) ions, which is greater than other ion counters for ores.
3. It is less likely to be affected by air flow as the detector detects radiation and converts it to the negative ion count.
4. The body is compact and lightweight and weighs less than 420g (battery excluded).
5. It runs on dry/rechargeable batteries.
6. It is easy to operate.
7. Ion data can be printed out on a thermal printer by one push-button.
