Model : EPAM 5000

Description :
The Environmental Particulate Air Monitor Model EPAM-5000 is an innovative light scattering nephelometer and filter gravimetric air sampler combined in one portable compact and light weight design.

The EPAM-5000 provides a complete real-time profile and graphical representation of airborne particulate levels and exposures with data read out in milligrams per cubic meter ( mg/ m³ ) . This dynamic capability is not possible with using only a gravimetric particulate sampler. The EPAM-5000 combines both the real-time and gravimetric technique, which allows the investigator more accuracy in defining and analyzing the nature and magnitude of potential health risk resulting from the inhalation of lung damaging particulates.

The EPAM-5000 complements both the EPA and OSHA reference methods. By offering an inexpensive and fast means to define problem areas and to " pinpoint" where more study is needed.

The EPAM-5000 requires no special skills or tools and can be easily setup in minutes for measuring Particulate Matter. All real-time data is immediately stored in the instrument' s computer memory and can be viewed on the LCD display or downloaded to a PC using the provided statistical software package.

Features

* Immediate display and data storage of lung damaging aerosols.
* Unique aerodynamic particulate sizing real-time sensor and in-line 47mm filter cassette which allows concurrent gravimetric samplings.

* Easy to use data analysis software.
* 5.0 Lpm ( liters per minute) flow compensated sampling pump.
* True 24 hour battery capacity or continuous A/ C power operation.
* Audible alarm siren.
* Optional Wireless Data Transmission to Central Computer
