## Overview

The General Tools VOC08 is a versatile, budget-friendly VOC data logger designed for professionals managing indoor air quality. It detects multiple volatile organic compounds and cigarette smoke using a metal-oxide semiconductor sensor, logs up to 32,000 data points, and measures temperature and humidity with precision. Its PC-compatible software enables detailed data analysis, making it a practical tool for IAQ maintenance programs.

## Description

The General Tools VOC08 is ideal for making ballpark measurements of mixed-gas VOC levels as part of an indoor air quality (IAQ) maintenance and documentation program. The instrument is much less expensive than photo-ionization meters designed to make precise measurements of VOC levels from a single gas.

Review: it's great but that's less than half the time - When it works, it's great but that's less than half the time. It goes through a calibration procedure each time the power is applied. At the end of that procedure, the display is all zeros. Sometimes it starts to make measurements, but more often it just stays stuck at all zeros. I've looked for a solution online but found none. When it works, it is very helpful.
Review: One Star - Worked a couple of days and quit. Didn't seem to be stable or repeatable results when it did work.

## Features

- MEASURES: Makes ballpark measurements of total VOC concentration, and accurate measurements of ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH), and Dew Point and Wet Bulb temperatures.
- DETECTS: Metal-oxide semiconductor sensor within vented ball housing detects ammonia, toluene, ethanol, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and cigarette smoke.
- LOGS UP TO 32,000 DATA POINTS:. Meter's entire capacity can be devoted to VOC readings, or devoted one-third each to VOC, ambient temperature and RH readings.
- POWERFUL DATA LOGGING: Software downloads readings to a PC for display/printing as a table or graph. The software supports four data logging modes, including starting and stopping recording without a PC.
- IDEAL FOR: Making ballpark measurements of mixed-gas volatile organic compound levels as part of an indoor air quality maintenance program.
- GENERAL TOOLS: We're a recognized leader in designing and developing specialized precision tools dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service. We encourage artisans and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and repair more productively.

### ⭐ One Star
*by D***N on June 6, 2017*

Worked a couple of days and quit. Didn't seem to be stable or repeatable results when it did work.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Seemed great at first, but stopped working after about a week
*by S***R on September 26, 2017*

I've been using it for about 5 days now and it seems to work very well. The small user's manual it comes with is simple and easy to follow. The self-calibration process takes longest the first time it's used, but it does calibrate each time it's turned on for several minutes or so. To prevent it from automatically powering off 15 minutes later and necessitating a restart and going through calibration again, just press the "HOLD" button when turning on the power button, and it will stay on (this is in the manual). I've found the results to be repeatable, and worrisome in terms of health concerns. When there are no or low VOC's, it will read 0 ppm or a very low number. I read that it's not recommended to be exposed to more than 325 ppb VOC's regularly - this comes out to 0.325 ppm, ppm being what the meter reads in. Values in my apartment at times of high traffic have regularly been in the teens (as in, 18.03 ppm or so) and sometimes up to 22 ppm, and lower at night with low traffic or at floor level. When a particularly noxious plume of diesel fumes can be smelled, the meter also goes up. When we took it down into our building's polluted parking garage, the meter rapidly increased up to 44 ppm and then an alarm sounded to tell us to get out and get O2. I'll update the review if any unexpected problems develop with the meter but for now I'm very happy with the purchase as it was one of the only affordable VOC meters and its results appear reliable and consistent, plus it's easy to use. ***Quick update - I've read since that the acceptable range for VOC's is <15 ppm and that there's a difference between total VOC's and mixed VOC's. Since I've lived here for 11 years and don't cough constantly, maybe the acceptable range is more up to 15 ppm for this machine's readings. Additional update 10/20/2017: Unfortunately this product inexplicably stopped working after about a week of light use. The sensor began making a scraping sound when the machine was turned on, and it would calibrate for about 10 minutes then give an error message and set off the alarm. I called General Tools who agreed it appeared broken and they recommended sending it back. Before sending it back I tried it one more time and it wouldn't power on. Also forgot to mention above that the product was sent without the batteries that are supposed to come with it. I've decided to return rather than replace it because of concerns about its reliability, which is unfortunate since it seemed like a great little machine at first.
