An Ambient Monitor for 24hr Operation

Published over 12 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Ambient air quality.

The Environmental Particulate Air Monitor (EPAM-5000) requires no special skills or tools and can be easily setup in minutes, for measuring Particulate Matter PM-10, PM-2.5, PM-1.0 or Total Suspended Particulates.

It records a complete real-time profile with data read out in milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3).

Combining both a real-time monitor and filter holder for gravimetric analysis it allows more accuracy in defining and analysing the nature and magnitude of potential health risk, resulting from inhalation of lung damaging particulates.

When the EPAM-5000 is deployed the sample air stream first passes through the light scattering sensor where particulate concentration is registered electronically, then the air stream passes directly through a 47mm gravimetric filter located directly behind the optical sensor.

Housed in a rugged watertight carrying case for ambient air monitoring, the EPAM-5000 offers a 24-hour rechargeable battery for portable flexibility and runs as a continuous monitor when used with the supplied AC power supply.

All the real time data is stored in the monitor’s memory and this can be viewed on the LCD display or downloaded to a PC, using the software package included, for graphical and statistical analysis.
