The TE-5010-6X is a mechanical clock that counts the hours and minutes that the instrument is actively collecting a sample for 220 volt, 50 hertz high volume air sampling systems. This elapsed time indicator provides essential sampling documentation required for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring programs.
Designed as a critical component of TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 high volume air samplers, the TE-5010-6X accurately tracks active sampling time to ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance. The mechanical timepiece operates independently of the sampler's primary electrical system, providing reliable operation during extended monitoring periods.
Key Specifications
- Voltage: 220V, 50Hz
- Display: Mechanical hour and minute counters
- Operation: Synchronized with sampler motor operation
- Construction: Durable mechanical movement for outdoor environments
Compatibility
This elapsed time indicator is specifically designed for 220V/50Hz high volume air sampling systems including:
- TSP samplers with motor voltage control assemblies
- PM10 and PM2.5 samplers requiring elapsed time documentation
- International installations operating on 50Hz power systems
- Systems requiring independent time tracking separate from digital timers
For 110V/60Hz systems, use the standard TE-5010-6 model. For combined motor control and elapsed time indication, consider the TE-5010X motor controller which includes integrated elapsed time tracking.
Applications
Essential for EPA 40 CFR 50, Appendix B TSP reference method compliance and other ambient air quality monitoring applications where accurate sampling time documentation is required. Used in EPA-designated reference and equivalent method samplers for regulatory monitoring networks worldwide.
The TE-5010-6X ensures sampling time accuracy for gravimetric analysis calculations and provides permanent documentation of sampling periods for quality assurance and regulatory reporting requirements.
