The TE-5000D-BLX is a high volume air sampler configured for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) sampling in ambient air with no size selection, following US EPA reference method 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This system draws ambient air through an 8" x 10" glass fiber filter at flow rates between 39-60 CFM, collecting all airborne particulates for gravimetric analysis and subsequent chemical identification.

Advanced Digital Control System

The integrated digital timer provides accurate sampling scheduling with improved precision over mechanical timer systems. Built-in battery backup ensures sampling schedules remain intact during intermittent power failures, critical for maintaining EPA compliance in field monitoring programs.

Brushless Motor Technology

The brushless motor eliminates routine brush maintenance requirements while providing extended service life with no carbon emissions. This 220V/50Hz configuration delivers reliable performance for continuous 24-hour sampling periods required by EPA reference methods.

Manual Flow Control

This manual flow controlled configuration provides an economical choice for basic TSP reference method sampling with simple motor speed adjustment to set the desired flow rate. The system includes a pressure recorder to document flow rates throughout the sampling period and an elapsed time indicator for accurate sample timing.

Complete System Configuration

The sampler is housed in an anodized aluminum outdoor shelter with gabled roof assembly, designed to protect the instrumentation while maintaining proper aerodynamic collection characteristics. The physical design ensures collection of particles 100 micrometers (Stokes Equivalent Diameter) and smaller.

TSP Monitoring Applications

Primary applications include ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The system supports source impact assessment by incorporating wind-direction activation modifications for source-receptor relationship studies. Additional applications include monitoring enclosed environments for elevated particulate matter concentrations, particularly toxic materials.

Power Requirements & Specifications

Power: 220V, 50Hz single phase with earth ground
Motor: 0.6 HP, 2-stage vacuum, ball/sleeve bearing, thru-flow discharge
Flow Rate: 39-60 ft³/min over constant sampling periods
Filter Media: 8" x 10" glass fiber filters
Operating Range: -30°C to +50°C ambient temperature, 0-100% relative humidity
