Product Characteristics
Increased Precision And Resolution
The LPM II Particle Monitor uses newly developed high-perfor-
mance 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 moni-
toring of the hydraulic system. Due to the permanent installation Representation of the measured values by means of real-time system analysis
in the system, the LPM II allows users to quickly respond to
increasing contamination, thus protecting the system from
expensive failures and machine downtimes.

Particle Monitor ƒ 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
