Hi-Vol TSP Monitor - 220V 60Hz Brush Motor, Mechanical Timer SKU: TE-5000XZ

Hi-Vol TSP Monitor - 220V 60Hz Brush Motor, Mechanical Timer

The TE-5000XZ is a high volume air sampler configured for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) monitoring in accordance with EPA reference method requirements. This rugged field-ready system delivers reliable collection of airborne particles with aerodynamic diameters up to approximately 25-50 µm, depending on wind conditions, making it ideal for ambient air quality monitoring and research applications.

Technical Design

The TE-5000XZ operates as a non-size-selective sampler, drawing ambient air through an 8 × 10 inch glass fiber filter at flow rates between 39-60 ft³/min (1.1-1.7 m³/min) during standard 24-hour sampling periods. The proven brush motor design provides dependable performance with manual motor speed adjustment capability. Sample air enters uniformly from all four sides of the anodized aluminum shelter, ensuring representative particle collection across the filter surface.

• Power: 220V, 60Hz single-phase operation
• Flow Rate Range: 39-60 ft³/min (1.1-1.7 m³/min)
• Sampling Period: 24 hours nominal (1,440 ±60 minutes)
• Filter Size: 8 × 10 inch (20.3 × 25.4 cm)
• Motor Type: Brush-style with manual speed control

System Components

The complete TSP monitoring system includes essential field instrumentation housed within a weather-resistant anodized aluminum shelter. A mechanical timer provides simple, dependable start-stop control for unattended operation. The traditional instrumentation package includes a pressure recorder for documenting flow variations and an elapsed time indicator for tracking operational parameters.

Compatibility and Configurations

The TE-5000XZ represents one configuration in Tisch Environmental's comprehensive TSP sampler series. Alternative models are available with different power configurations (110V 60Hz, 220V 50Hz), brushless motors, and digital timing systems. All models maintain compatibility with standard 8 × 10 inch TSP filters and EPA-specified sampling protocols.

Maintenance Requirements

Brush motors require periodic maintenance including brush inspection and replacement based on elapsed time indicator readings. The mechanical timer and traditional instrumentation minimize electronic components requiring field service. Standard maintenance includes filter changes, chart paper replacement, and periodic flow calibration using approved transfer standards.

Regulatory Applications

TSP sampling continues to serve critical regulatory functions, particularly for lead monitoring in ambient air where EPA maintains TSP as the required sample matrix. The collected samples provide adequate material for subsequent chemical analysis including metals determination, enabling compliance monitoring for lead NAAQS and source characterization studies.
