Personal DataRAM™ pDR-1000AN Aerosol Monitor

The personal DataRAM™ pDR-1000AN from Thermo Scientific™ has been specifically developed to help users quantify huge concentrations of smoke, dust, fumes and mists in real-time. The palm-sized aerosol monitor or datalogger raises an audible alarm whenever the user-specified level is surpassed.

The pDR-1000AN employs single beam nephelometry and integrates light-scattering to generate an ideal particle response for high correlation with standard gravimetric measurements. Thanks to datalogging, the pDR-1000AN automatically tags and time stamps the gathered data to be stored for later retrieval, computer graphing or printing.

Key Features

  • Flexible data logging routines can be performed
  • Simple belt or shoulder strap attachment for portability
  • US MSHA Intrinsic safety approval

Additional Information

  • Light-scattering photometer provides high correlation with gravimetric measurement of respirable and thoracic fractions with ideal response to particles measuring 0.1 to10 μm
  • The absence of moving parts ensures silent operation and the least maintenance charges
  • Internal firmware regulates automatic calibration check; gravimetric calibration can be executed in the field for optimum efficiency
  • Unit is gravimetrically calibrated in mg/m3 and can be readily used following the easy zeroing step (comes with the kit)
  • Datalogger automatically tags and time stamps data gathered and stores it for later retrieval, graphing through a PC or printing

Specifications

  • Datalogging averaging periods (can be chosen by users): 1 second to 1 hour
  • Number of data tags: 99 (utmost)
  • Concentration display updating interval: 1 second
  • Serial interface: RS-232, 4800 baud
  • Total number of data points in memory: 13,391
  • Computer requirements: PC compatible, 486 processor or higher; Windows™ 95 or higher
