The TE-5009-1 is the replacement chart drive motor for Tisch Environmental's TE-5009 24-hour continuous flow/pressure recorder used in high volume air sampling systems. This precision motor drives the circular chart paper rotation mechanism that provides critical flow documentation for EPA-compliant TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) and PM10 monitoring applications.
Technical Operation
The chart drive motor operates at 110 volts, 60 hertz and maintains consistent chart rotation speed for accurate 24-hour flow recording. The TE-5009 continuous flow recorder serves as the flow indicator component in Tisch Environmental's TSP and PM10 sampling systems, working in conjunction with pressure sensors to create permanent documentation of sampling flow rates throughout the monitoring period.
System Compatibility
This motor is designed specifically for the TE-5009 continuous flow/pressure recorder found in TE-5000 series TSP samplers and other Tisch Environmental high volume air sampling systems. Compatible sampler systems include:
- TE-5000 TSP High Volume Air Sampler
- TE-5170-V Volumetric Flow Controlled TSP systems
- TE-6000 series PM10 Mass Flow Controlled samplers
- TE-5170-D TSP MFC systems
Voltage Configurations
The TE-5009-1 is the 110V 60Hz version. Alternative voltage configurations include:
- TE-5009-1X: 220 Volt 50 Hertz
- TE-5009-1XZ: 220 Volt 60 Hertz
Maintenance and Installation
Replacement of the chart drive motor requires basic electrical connections within the TE-5009 recorder housing. Proper motor function is essential for maintaining chain-of-custody documentation and ensuring compliance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B for TSP monitoring. Regular inspection of chart rotation consistency helps identify motor wear before complete failure disrupts sampling operations.
Applications
Primary applications include ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air quality standards and EPA-mandated environmental compliance monitoring. The continuous flow documentation enables assessment of specific source impacts on ambient particulate levels and provides the required flow verification for regulatory reporting.
