  • Audible and visual alarms for user alerts.
  • High capacity battery and color OLED display.
  • Real-time data logging and analysis capabilities.
  • Programmable through TrakPro™ v5 Software.
Specifications:
  • Sensor Type: 90° light scattering, 650 nm laser diode.
  • Calibration: Against a gravimetric reference using ISO 12103-1, A1 Test Dust.
  • Aerosol Concentration Range: 0.001 to 100 mg/m3.
  • Particle Size Range: 0.1 to 10 µm.
  • Flow Rate: User-adjustable, 0 to 1.8 L/min.
  • Temperature Range: Operating: 32°F to 120°F; Storage: -4°F to 140°F.
  • Data Logging: Approx. 80,000 data points, user-adjustable logging interval.
Alarms and Indicators:
  • User-settable audible and visual alarms with programmable levels from 0.001 to 999 mg/m3.
  • Alarm indicator includes a 95 dBA audible horn and flashing red OLED display.
Physical and Power Specifications:
  • Dimensions: 5.1 x 3.7 x 3.1 inches.

SIDEPAK™ PERSONAL AEROSOL MONITOR MODEL AM520-1

SIDEPAK™ PERSONAL AEROSOL MONITOR MODEL AM520 The SidePak™ AM520 Personal Aerosol Monitor is a small, portable, battery-operated, data-logging, light-scattering laser photometer that provides real-time aerosol mass concentration readings of dusts, fumes, mists, smoke and fog within a worker breathing zone. Newly designed inlet conditioners increase the mass concentration capability and provide size fraction cut points for PM10, Respirable (PM4), PM5 (China Respirable), PM2.5, PM1 and 0.8µm Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). This monitor is the perfect solution for real-time, personal aerosol sampling in a variety of workplace environments, including but not limited to general industry, foundries, construction sites, chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical, power and utilities, transportation, aerospace, maritime, confined spaces and mining. New Features + Robust impactors for higher mass concentration range + Audible and visual alarms + 0.8µm DPM impactor + PM5 China respirable size fraction impactor + High capacity battery + Color OLED display Dare to Compare! User-settable audible and visual alarms as well as newly designed impactors, for more size fraction options, make this instrument a valuable tool for workplace exposure monitoring. The new impactors provide reliable size fraction at a much higher mass concentration, allowing a longer run time with improved accuracy. concentrations over longer run times Features and Benefits + Real-time mass concentration measurement and data logging for “in-the-field” data analysis + Push button menu operation or programmable through newly improved TrakPro™ v5 Software + User selectable alarm levels to alert workers to high aerosol concentrations + Newly designed robust impactors enable reliable size fraction measurements at higher aerosol Time History — Graphically displayed, logged data can display high and low exposure concentrations that cannot be identified with traditional gravimetric sampling. This example of actual customer data illustrates the value of seeing what time peak exposure occurred. This enables an industrial hygienist to investigate the cause of the spike at 12:00 and recommend corrective actions specific to the cause of the exposure without delay.
