EPAM-5000,
Electronic Monitor for Measuring EPA PM Criteria

The HAZ-DUST EPAM-5000 is a portable microprocessor-based particulate monitor suitable for

ambient, environmental, and indoor air quality investigations. Highly sensitive, this

monitor uses light scattering to measure particle concentration and provide immediate

real-time determinations and data recordings of airborne particle concentration in

milligrams per cubic meter ( mg/ m3) . Interchangeable size-selective sampling heads allow

PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, or TSP monitoring. The unique aerodynamic particle sizing and optional

47-mm in-line filter holder loaded with an appropriate filter can provide concurrent

gravimetric sampling. Sampling data can be downloaded to and stored on a PC for analysis and

report generation using DustComm Pro Software ( included) .

Fast, easy setup
Highly sensitive and accurate
0.001 to 20.0 mg/ m3 for particles 0.1 to 100 µ m
Optional 0.01 to 200 mg/ m3 range available
Accuracy is ± 10% to NIOSH Method 0500 using SAE fine test dust

Internal air sample pump for 4.0 L/ min flows ( pump has a variable flow rate designed for use
at 4.0 L/ min to achieve proper size selection.)

Internal temperature compensation for ambient use

Unique aerodynamic particle-sizing real-time sensor
Use optional EPA FRM-style filter holder for gravimetric reference

High correlation to EPA PM10 methods and TEOM®

Up to 24-hour operation on one battery charge
