The TE-5000BLX is a high volume air sampler designed for total suspended particulate matter (TSP) collection in compliance with EPA ambient air quality monitoring standards. This configuration features a brushless motor assembly with mechanical timer control and manual voltage adjustment, housed in a durable anodized aluminum shelter.

EPA-Compliant TSP Monitoring

Engineered for measuring mass concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in ambient air for determining compliance with primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards as specified in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. The sampler draws a measured quantity of ambient air through a filter during a 24-hour sampling period, collecting particulates with no size-selective inlet for comprehensive atmospheric monitoring.

Key Specifications

Power: 220V, 50Hz configuration for international applications
Motor: Brushless design reduces maintenance requirements and extends service life
Timer: Mechanical timer provides reliable start/stop control
Controller: Manual voltage controller for motor speed adjustment
Housing: Anodized aluminum shelter with weather protection

Brushless Motor Advantages

The brushless motor assembly eliminates routine brush replacement while maintaining consistent flow rates throughout extended sampling periods. This design supports continuous field operation with minimal maintenance intervention, critical for remote monitoring stations and long-term ambient air quality studies.
