TE-5000DX TSP Hi-Vol Air Sampler w/ Manual Flow Control, Digital Timer, 220V 50Hz

The TE-5000DX is a high volume air sampler designed for collecting Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) matter in compliance with EPA reference method 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This configuration combines reliable brush motor technology with a digital timer for straightforward ambient air monitoring applications requiring TSP collection without size-selective inlets.

System Operation

The sampler operates by drawing ambient air through an 8" x 10" glass fiber filter at flow rates between 40-60 ft³/min over a 24-hour sampling period. Manual flow control allows operators to adjust motor speed to maintain target flow rates as filter loading increases. The concentration of total suspended particulate matter is computed as the mass of collected particles divided by the volume of air sampled, corrected to EPA standard conditions, and expressed in micrograms per standard cubic meter (µg/std m³).

Key Specifications

Power configuration: 220V, 50Hz for international applications
Motor type: Brush-style motor for proven field reliability
Timer: Digital timer with programmable sampling schedules
Flow control: Manual motor speed adjustment
Sample collection: TSP with no size-selective inlet
Filter size: 8" x 10" glass fiber filters

Digital Timer Features

The digital timer provides enhanced programming capabilities compared to mechanical timers, allowing for precise sampling schedules including 1-in-3, 1-in-6, and 1-in-7 day sampling intervals. Internal battery backup ensures timer settings are retained during power outages, eliminating the need to reprogram after service interruptions.

Compatibility & Configuration

This sampler is part of the TE-5000 series family, sharing core components and design with other configurations. The TE-5000DX specifically combines digital timer operation with brush motor technology and 220V 50Hz power requirements, making it suitable for international monitoring programs requiring EPA-compliant TSP collection methods.

Construction & Housing

The system is housed in an anodized aluminum shelter with gabled roof design that allows particulate matter to be drawn from all four sides. The rugged outdoor construction withstands environmental conditions with minimal maintenance requirements, ensuring reliable long-term field operation.

Applications

Ideal for ambient air quality monitoring programs requiring TSP measurement for determining compliance with primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards. Commonly used by environmental monitoring agencies, research institutions, and industrial facilities for baseline air quality assessment, source impact studies, and regulatory compliance monitoring where TSP data collection is specified.
