The TE-5005-7 Cord Retainer with Nut provides essential electrical strain relief for power connections on Tisch Environmental high volume air sampler blower motor assemblies. This component prevents power cord damage and ensures reliable electrical connections in demanding outdoor monitoring applications.
Electrical Protection
The cord retainer assembly secures power cords at their entry point into motor housings, protecting against mechanical stress from wind, vibration, and thermal cycling. The design provides protection against loosening or accidental disconnection of the plug connector during continuous outdoor operation. This prevents costly downtime and potential safety hazards from exposed electrical connections.
Compatible Motor Assemblies
The TE-5005-7 is compatible with these Tisch Environmental motor assemblies: TE-5005-3, TE-5070-2, TE-5005, TE-5005X, TE-5070, and TE-5070X. This includes both brush-style and brushless blower motor configurations used across TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 high volume air sampling systems.
- TE-5005 Series: Brush-style blower motor assemblies (110V and 220V)
- TE-5070 Series: Brushless blower motor assemblies for VFC systems
- Compatible with X variants: International voltage configurations
Installation and Maintenance
The TE-5005-7 includes both the cord retainer body and securing nut for complete installation. The component can also be mounted later as a retrofit during maintenance procedures. Regular inspection of cord retainers during scheduled sampler maintenance helps prevent electrical failures and maintains EPA compliance requirements for continuous ambient air monitoring.
For proper installation, ensure the cord retainer is sized appropriately for the motor assembly's power cord diameter and that the securing nut is properly tightened to prevent moisture ingress while allowing for thermal expansion.
