I am happy with the accuracy of the results. I use it also on my farm to locate the best areas.
I purchased this meter as I want to prove to myself and my clients that your devices are genuinely producing -ve ions. I am happy with the accuracy of the results. I use it also on my farm to locate the best areas where one should be by measuring the -ve ions at every location. Read more

Is it possible to obtain the average ion count?
Reason(s) why I purchased from you: A friend of mine has purchased from you before.
Detailed review: This is my 1st ion counter. The reading fluctuates so much and I am not sure what the actual ion count is. Read more

Contents - Ultra Wide Range Ion Counter Tester IC-1000-W
It is easy to operate and you can measure ion counts quickly.
1.Select the polarity
2.Turn on the fan
Turn the POLARITY switch to "-" or "+"
Turn the right toggle switch to "MEASURE" to turn on the air suction fan.
3.Start measurement
Place the sample close to the air suction opneing. The image shows 10,120,000(pcs/cc) of negative ions generted by the personal ion generator.
Measurement range: You can manually select the measurement range from 199,900/1,999,000/19,990,000(pcs/cc). For more details, please see the instruction manual.
About zero adjustment: Zero adjustment, which is easy to operate, is not included in the above procedures. Please see the instruction manual.
Ultra Wide Range UP to 19,990,000 (pcs/cc)
The ultra wide measurement range of 100-19,990,000 (pcs/cc) covers ions generated by high-performance ion generators/ionizers.
Can Measure Positive/Negative Ions - Great for Product Promotion
You can measure positive/negative ions.
It is great for product promotion because it digitally displays ions which you cannot see with the naked eye. Seeing is believing!
Lightweight Compact Body & Battery Driven
The compact body weighs only 460g, fits your palm and is powered by the battery. It is great for outdoor use as it is easy to carry around.

Q & A
(1) Can it measure positive ions?
Yes, you can manually switch to the positive <-> negative ion measurement mode.
(2) What is the measurement range?
It can measure 100-19,990,000(pcs/cc). Ions generated by most of products should be within this range.
(3) What is the power source?
It is driven by 1x 9V alkaline dry battery, which is great for outdoor use.
(5) How long does it take to complete zero adjustment?
It usually takes less than a minute where no ion source is present nearby and air flow is stable.
(6) Can it measure ions during a specified measurement time only?
No, it cannot. This counter continues to display the latest ion count.
You can record ion data at some points to make graphs or to calculate the average count by yourself.
(7) Can I measure ion densities in water?
No, you can't. This ion counter is for air ions.
(8) What is the lowest ion density this counter can measure?
It is 100 (pcs/cc).
(9) How long will the battery last?
It will last approx. 2-3 hours in the measurement mode and approx. 40 hours in the standby mode.
Specifications
P/N: IC-1000-W
Product name
Ultra Wide Range Ion Counter Tester IC-1000-W
Detectable ion
Positive/Negative small air ions
Air flow rate
400 (cm3/sec)
Efficiency of ion collection
65%
Input resistance:
1010 Ohms
Battery
One 9V alkaline. Current drain is about 5mA on STANDBY, and 40mA on MEASURE.
All 3 decimal points display when battery becomes weak (below 7.4V).
Battery life is about 40 hours on STANDBY and 2-3 hours on MEASURE.
Measurement range
100 - 19,990,000 (pcs/cc)
Range 199.9T: 100 - 199,900 (pcs/cc)
Range 1.999M: 100,000 - 1,999,000 (pcs/cc)
Range 19.99M: 100,000 - 19,990,000 (pcs/cc)
Measurement method
Parallel flat plates method
Mobility
0.8 (cm2/Vs)
Noise level
(2 second-weighting) approximately 10 ions/cm3
Accuracy
+/-25% for fast ions (mobility greater than 0.8 (cm2/VS) - these are the most numerous ions.
This ion counter is less sensitive to "slow" ions such as charged pieces of dust).
Minimum detectable density
100 (pcs/cc)
Setting time
approx. 2 seconds (response time), and 10 sec (after switchover between "+" and "-")
Ion Selectivity (crosstalk)
1:5000.
That is, if POLARITY is set to "+", the meter will display 1/5000 of the "-" ion density (as a negative number)
if there are many negative ions and no positive ions.
With POLARITY set in its center position, the meter will read a number which is 1/10 the "+" density,
minus 1/10 the "-" density.
