EPAM-5000
Portable Environmental Particulate Air Monitor
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,
or PM1.0 monitoring. The EPAM-5000’s unique aerodynamic particle
sizing and 47-mm in-line filter holder (optional accessory)
loaded with the appropriate filter
provide concurrent gravimetric sampling. Sample for up to 24 hours
on one battery and store up to 15 months of monitoring data. Data
can be downloaded
to and stored on a PC for further analysis using DustComm Professional
Software (included). Management-ready reports can also be generated.
- Fast and easy setup
- Highly sensitive from 0.001 to 20.0 mg/m3 for
particles 0.1 to 100 µm
- Optional 0.01 to 200 mg/m3 range available
- Accuracy ± 10% to NIOSH Method 0500 using SAE fine test
dust
- High correlation to EPA PM10 method
- Internal air sampling pump with adjustable flow rate
from 2.0 to 4.0 L/min
- Real-time sensor and (optional) in-line 47-mm gravimetric
filter cassette holder
- Use optional EPA FRM-style cassette holder for gravimetric
reference
- Immediate display and data storage
- Internal temperature compensation for ambient use
- Interchangeable size-selective sampling heads for EPA
parameters
- Rugged, water-tight carry case
- Rechargeable lead-acid battery for up to 24-hour operation
- Continuous monitoring with AC adapter
- Easy four-key menu-driven operation
- Audible alarm
- Stores up to 15 months of data
- Easy-to-use data analysis software included
- Large, easy-to-read display
- Portable and compact
- 6 x 14 x 10 in (15.2 x 35.6 x 25.4 cm)
- 12 lbs (5.4 kg)
- RFI/EMI shielded; CE marked
- Real-time clock and data display
EPAM-5000 Applications
- Quantifying off-site particulate migration
- Surveying for PM2.5 and PM10
- Monitoring dust generation during drilling and excavation
- Evaluating dust suppression and engineering controls
- Locating and identifying "hot spots"
- Emergency response and fugitive emissions compliance
- Determining level of respiratory protection
- Survey of workplace for OSHA/EPA compliance
- Evaluating worker exposure to airborne contaminants
- Dust collector/ventilation system checks
- Monitoring lung-damaging particles in factories and buildings
- Complementary instrument for all EPA and OSHA personal and ambient
particulate air sampling procedures
The EPAM-5000 Advantage
- One compact instrument provides real-time data and gravimetric
samples for analysis
- Immediate display and datalogging of particulate concentrations
- Data provides a graphic profile of PM sample
- Added-value survey sampler for saturation monitoring studies
- Allows immediate and permanent documentation
- Reduces the number of manual gravimetric test as well as labor
and analysis costs
- Easy setup and operation — ready in 15 seconds
