The TE-5000D is a high volume air sampler configured for EPA-compliant Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) monitoring in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This complete sampler system delivers reliable ambient air quality monitoring for government agencies, environmental consultants, and research institutions requiring precise particulate matter collection.

The TE-5000D operates as a traditional high volume sampler, drawing ambient air through a glass fiber filter at flow rates between 40-60 ft³/min (1.1-1.7 m³/min) over standard 24-hour sampling periods. The system collects total suspended particulate matter with particles up to approximately 100 µm aerodynamic diameter for compliance monitoring and subsequent chemical analysis.

Digital Timer Control

Features an advanced digital timer that provides precise sampling schedule programming with 1-in-3, 1-in-6, 1-in-7, and custom sampling intervals. The digital controller includes internal battery backup to maintain programmed schedules during power outages, eliminating the need for manual timer resets after electrical interruptions.

Brush Motor Assembly

Equipped with a proven brush-style motor that delivers consistent performance in field applications. The brush motor provides reliable operation with straightforward maintenance requirements, making it ideal for routine ambient monitoring programs where periodic brush replacement fits established maintenance schedules.

Shelter and Components

Housed in a rugged anodized aluminum shelter with gabled roof design that allows uniform air sampling from all four sides. The shelter construction withstands outdoor environmental conditions while protecting internal components. Standard instrumentation includes elapsed time indicator for tracking motor hours and sample verification.

EPA Compliance Applications

The TE-5000D serves multiple regulatory and research applications including ambient air quality monitoring for NAAQS compliance, baseline environmental assessments, industrial emission studies, and lead-in-TSP monitoring programs. TSP sampling remains the required method for ambient lead monitoring under current EPA regulations.

Compatible Components

This sampler accepts standard TSP consumables including 8" × 10" glass fiber filters, chart recorder paper, and replacement motor brushes. The manual flow control design provides reliable operation without requiring sophisticated electronic flow controllers, making it suitable for remote monitoring locations with basic electrical infrastructure.
