PM2.5 Hi-Vol Air Sampler w/PLUS Technology & Brush Motor (220V)
The TE-PM2_5-HVPXZ delivers EPA-compliant fine particulate matter collection for ambient air quality monitoring studies. This high volume air sampler captures PM2.5 particles (2.5 µm and smaller) using a size-selective inlet designed for non-regulatory research and institutional monitoring applications.
PLUS Technology Control System
The integrated PLUS controller maintains accurate, real-time flow control through microprocessor-based ambient temperature and barometric pressure compensation. Built-in sensors continuously monitor environmental conditions and automatically adjust flow rates to ensure consistent volumetric sampling throughout the collection period. The system includes auto-calibration functionality and comprehensive onboard data logging with USB export capability.
Key Operating Specifications
- Power Configuration: 220V, 60Hz single-phase
- Motor Type: Brush-style drive system for proven field reliability
- Controller: MFC PLUS with ambient sensors and digital timer
- Timer: Digital programmable with battery backup
- Data Logging: Four independent logs capturing ambient/standard flow and temperature/pressure data
Regulatory Compliance
Designed for PM2.5 monitoring applications in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L guidelines for fine particulate matter determination. The method provides measurement of fine particulate matter having an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) in ambient air, with mass concentration computed as total collected particles divided by actual volume of air sampled and expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³).
Data Management and Control Features
The PLUS controller provides multiple elapsed time indicators for tracking sampling progress and stores comprehensive operational data including average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature and barometric pressure readings. Total ambient and standard flow measurements are continuously logged and easily retrieved via USB interface for analysis and reporting.
