PM2.5 Hi-Vol Air Sampler with PLUS Controller & Brushless Motor - 110V
The TE-PM2_5-HVP-BL is a high volume air sampler configured for PM2.5 fine particulate matter sampling in compliance with EPA reference method requirements for particles with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers. This system integrates a PM2.5 size-selective inlet with PLUS technology microprocessor-based flow control for accurate, real-time sampling with automated data logging capabilities.
PLUS Controller Technology
The PLUS controller features built-in ambient temperature and barometric pressure sensors that enable precise flow rate determination at actual ambient temperature and pressure conditions throughout the sampling period. The system includes automatic flow calibration, onboard data logging with USB export capability, and a digital timer with battery backup for reliable unattended operation. Data logs capture average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature and barometric pressure along with total ambient and standard flow measurements.
Key Specifications
- Power: 110V, 60Hz single phase
- Motor: Brushless design for extended service life
- Controller: MFC PLUS with microprocessor-based flow control
- Timer: Digital with battery backup and multiple elapsed time indicators
- Data Storage: Four independent data logs with USB export
Brushless Motor Advantages
The brushless motor design eliminates the need for regular carbon brush replacement, reducing routine maintenance requirements and supporting continuous field operation. This motor configuration provides consistent performance over extended sampling periods while minimizing power consumption variations that can affect flow stability.
Regulatory Compliance
This sampler supports EPA ambient air quality monitoring for PM2.5 in accordance with reference method specifications outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L. The measurement process is considered nondestructive, allowing collected samples to be subjected to subsequent physical or chemical analyses, with total sample time requirements between 23-25 hours for fully valid PM2.5 samples.
Applications
Ideal for environmental monitoring professionals conducting non-regulatory studies, institutional research, and ambient air quality assessments. The system is particularly suited for continuous monitoring stations requiring reliable, unattended operation with comprehensive data logging for compliance reporting and research documentation.
System Components
Complete sampler includes PM2.5 size-selective inlet assembly, brushless motor with controller, digital timer, outdoor shelter, and all necessary hardware for field installation. The integrated design ensures proper airflow characteristics while maintaining the precise flow rates required for accurate particulate matter collection.
