OVERVIEW
A RELIABLE AND FAST MEASUREMENT
After several years of research and specification within a European working group, Capelec has developed an innovative engine exhaust particle tester.
CAP3070PN uses a new technology without soot clogging, requiring little maintenance.
As well adapted to the needs of PTI as to the world of Repair, it opens a new field thanks to a new technology.
- The particle number measurement is based on the detection of nanoparticles, from nanometer to 1 micron.
- The wide dynamic measurement range ensures high measurement sensitivity and fast response time.
- The soot-free technology requires little maintenance and allows continuous operation.
- This new measuring cell complies with the European requirements for gas emissions.
- The PASS/FAIL result is unambiguous.
TECHNICAL DATA
ExtDC Advanced Diffusion Charging,
A new, accurate and sensitive technology
CAP3070 is an exhaust particle counter (PN) using Extended Diffusion Charging (ExtDC) measurement technology.
The counter works by electrostatically charging particles that pass through the sensor, then measuring the current caused by the charged particles leaving the sensor.
Extended Diffusion Charging technology offers obvious advantages:
- no operating liquid is required
- Insensitive to vibrations
- independent of position during measurement
- no dilution
- no need for compressed air.

OPERATING
New opportunities for garages : a fast use requiring little maintenance
The CAP3070 measures the particles without expensive maintenance for the user nor expensive consumables. The measurement is done at idle, without the need for free acceleration, polluting, noisy and stressful for both engines and operators.
Straight-through design keeps the sensor clean for extended run time.
Performed in less than 30 seconds, the procedure gives a clear indication of the condition of the filters: in good condition, cracked, or manipulated.
The use of the CAP3070 is simple and intuitive as it can be controlled from any terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone) under Windows.
