The TE-6070VFC is a high volume air sampler designed for EPA-compliant PM10 particulate monitoring in ambient air over a 24-hour period. This configuration features Tisch Environmental's VFC PLUS controller with integrated ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensors for precise, real-time flow control that automatically compensates for changing environmental conditions. The flow rate through the sampler's inlet must be maintained throughout the sampling period within the design flow rate range, with flow rates corrected to EPA reference conditions for accurate mass concentration calculations.
VFC PLUS Controller Technology
The microprocessor-based VFC PLUS controller delivers advanced flow control capabilities with built-in environmental monitoring. Real-time ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensors enable automatic flow corrections to maintain compliance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J requirements. The controller includes auto calibration functionality, onboard data logging with four separate logs, and USB connectivity for data export. A digital timer with battery backup ensures reliable, programmable sampling periods with multiple elapsed time indicators.
Key Specifications
- Power: 110V, 60Hz configuration
- Motor type: Brush-style motor for proven field reliability
- Sample type: PM10 particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers
- Flow control: VFC PLUS with real-time environmental compensation
- Data logging: Four independent data logs capturing temperature, pressure, and flow parameters
Compliance and Applications
This sampler configuration meets EPA reference method requirements for determining attainment and maintenance of national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter. The TE-6070VFC is designed for ambient air quality monitoring networks, industrial emission assessment, and environmental compliance programs requiring accurate PM10 measurements. The measurement process is nondestructive, and collected samples can be subjected to subsequent physical or chemical analyses.
Operation and Maintenance
The brush motor design provides reliable operation in field conditions with straightforward maintenance requirements. The PM10 sampler shall be maintained in strict accordance with the maintenance procedures specified in the manufacturer's instruction manual. The digital timer with battery backup ensures continuous operation and data integrity during power fluctuations. Regular calibration verification is simplified through the controller's built-in calibration features and data export capabilities.
