TE-5010-6 Elapsed Time Indicator Counter 110V 60Hz SKU: TE-5010-6

The TE-5010-6 is a counter-only elapsed time indicator that records and displays sampling duration for Tisch Environmental's high volume air sampling systems. This mechanical clock counts the hours and minutes that an air sampling instrument is actively collecting a sample, providing essential documentation for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring programs.

Technical Operation

As an elapsed time indicator, this device records and displays elapsed time but performs no output function, unlike electronic counters or controllers. The TE-5010-6 operates on 110 volt, 60 hertz power and features a simple, reliable mechanical display mechanism. The unit can time in increments from fractions of a second up to total times of several hours or minutes, making it ideal for standard 24-hour air sampling protocols.

• Power requirement: 110V, 60Hz
• Display type: Mechanical counter
• Function: Time recording only (no control outputs)
• Mounting: Standard panel mount configuration

System Compatibility

The TE-5010-6 elapsed time indicator is designed to integrate with Tisch Environmental's complete range of high volume air sampling systems:

• TSP samplers (TE-5000 series) - tracks sampling time for total suspended particulate collection
• PM10 samplers (TE-6000 series) - verifies sample duration for EPA reference method compliance
• PM2.5 samplers (TE-6070 series) - documents sampling periods for fine particulate monitoring
• PUF samplers (TE-1000 series) - records collection time for volatile organic compound sampling

This counter-only version connects downstream from motor controllers like the TE-5010 or TE-5010X and does not include voltage control capabilities.

Maintenance and Documentation

The elapsed time indicator serves multiple operational purposes: tracking motor operating life, scheduling motor brush changes, and verifying actual sampling time against programmed sampling schedules. The mechanical display shows accumulated time in minutes with 0000.0 precision, providing the documentation required for EPA ambient air monitoring compliance.

For complete motor control with integrated elapsed time indication, consider the TE-5010 Motor Voltage Controller which combines both functions in a single unit. For different power configurations, the TE-5010-6XZ (220V 60Hz) and TE-5010-6X (220V 50Hz) versions are available to match international power standards.

Applications

These elapsed time indicators are essential for applications requiring accurate and reliable measurements of particulate matter in ambient air, ensuring consistent sampling documentation for air quality monitoring and industrial hygiene programs. They support EPA-compliant monitoring programs for TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 particulate matter collection at regulatory monitoring stations, source assessment locations, and research installations.
