The Jerome® J505 Mercury Vapor Analyzer is an ambient air analyzer with a range of 0.05 to 500 micrograms of mercury vapor per cubic meter (µg/m3 Hg). The instrument uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis, which allows the detection cell to be simpler, smaller, more durable and lighter weight than competing spectroscopy instruments. A smaller optical cell also requires less flow to purge the system, allowing the J505 to run at a lower flow rate than competing spectroscopy instruments. A low flow rate is essential for accurate low-level mercury detection because higher flow...

Integrated data logging stores all test results (except in Search mode). • Stored test results are easily viewed on the display screen with their test site. • Average value and standard deviation can be computed on a user-selectable range of results. • A range of results can be saved to a USB flash drive in a comma-delimited format for easy import into Microsoft Excel®. Each test result can be identified with a test site. • Test sites are user programmable. The active test site is selected from a list, and a list of predetermined sites can be entered and easily reused. • An optional USB keyboard...

The J505 uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis. As shown below, a mercury light source is energized to emit light at a 254nm wavelength into a sample cell. Mercury atoms absorb light with a 254nm wavelength. When a mercury atom in the sample cell absorbs the light, it is re-emitted at the same wavelength. A photo multiplier tube (PMT) is used to measure the light emitted at 90° to the source, which correlates to mercury concentration. During instrument operation, ambient air is drawn through the intake by the pump at a nominal flow rate of one liter/minute. The sampled air...

INSTRUMENT OPERATION The keypad contains the power key just to the right of the ▲ key. To turn on the instrument, hold down the power key until the display comes on. Turn off the instrument if it is not going to be used for an hour or more. Note, the instrument display remains on during charging. Tests can be started with the TEST key on the keypad or the TEST button on the handle. At the top of the keypad, just below the screen are four softkeys. The softkey functions change based on which screen is active. Use the ▲, ▼, ◄, and ► keys to navigate menus and screens. Use the ENTer key to select...
