24 Hour Chart Recorder, 220V, 50Hz SKU: TE-5009X

The TE-5009X is a 24-hour continuous flow recorder designed for 220 volt, 50 hertz operation, providing critical flow rate documentation for high volume air samplers in EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring. This chart recorder creates a permanent visual record of airflow throughout the sampling period, ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance for TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 monitoring programs.

Operating Principle

The recorder connects to the pressure tap of the blower motor via tubing, translating pressure differential into a continuous ink trace on circular chart paper. The standard 24-hour cycle completes one full rotation of the chart paper, providing precise time-stamped flow data essential for calculating total air volumes and verifying sampler performance within acceptable operating ranges.

Key Specifications

• Power: 220 volt, 50 hertz
• Chart cycle: 24 hours
• Recording method: Continuous ink trace
• Chart size: 4-inch circular
• Connection: Pressure tubing to blower motor

Compatibility

Compatible with Tisch Environmental's TSP air samplers including TE-5000-BL, TE-5000D, TE-5000DX, and TE-5000DXZ models. Works with all 220V, 50Hz blower motor assemblies that feature pressure taps for flow monitoring. Connects to timer systems where the recorder plugs into the timer's continuously hot female cord set.

Maintenance Requirements

Regular maintenance includes ensuring the recorder pen maintains proper ink flow, checking tubing connections for crimps or cracks, and replacing chart paper daily. The TE-160 pen point must rest on the chart with sufficient pressure to create a visible trace. Uses TE-160 recorder pen points available in red ink for clear flow trace identification.

Applications

Essential for EPA reference method compliance in ambient air monitoring stations. Enables operators to verify that samplers operate within acceptable chart reading ranges to ensure valid TSP data collection. Required for 24-hour integrated sampling protocols where continuous flow documentation is mandatory for data validation and regulatory reporting. Ideal for unattended monitoring stations where visual flow verification provides immediate indication of sampler performance issues.
