The pDR-1500 was developed to meet a need for a fully integrated, active sampling personal scale instrument with greater accuracy, increased capabilities, low size and weight, maximum easeofuse and increased operating time. It was designed for applications such as site remediation, size discrimination, mass validation, exposure modeling, and protection of asthma patients. A lot gets in the way of accurately measuring aerosol concentration in real-time – temperature, humidity, air pressure and sample representation. The pDR-1500 handles all four – with relative humidity compensation, true volumetric flow control and legacy pDR nephelometry. An integrated sample filter enables post-gravimetric validation of data. Superior particle-cut points compared to those achievable using impactors are delivered through volumetric flow control and ACGIH traceable cyclones – available in pairs, for PM10 and PM4 or PM2.5 and PM1. A toroidal entrance assures optimized aerosol asporation and a representative sample even without a cyclone.  

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Personal aerosol instrument with benchtop performance
  • Full compensation for environmental variables
  • Interchangeable cyclones for higher accuracy cut points
  • Flexible data logging routines
  • Suitable for NIOSH Methods 0500 and 0600
  • True volumetric flow control
pDR1500

pDR1000an The personalDataRAM™ pDR-1000AN passively measures mass concentrations of dust, smoke, mists, and fumes in real time, and sounds an audible alarm whenever the user-defined level is exceeded.
  • Highest performance of any real-time personal particulate monitor with a measurement range from 0.001 to 400 mg/m3 (auto-ranging).
  • Rugged and extremely compact, the palm sized pDR-1000AN weighs only 18 oz. (0.5 kilogram) and can be attached to a belt or shoulder strap, hand held, operated on a table top, or mounted on a tripod.
  • Simple zeroing and calibration – The pDR-1000AN comes gravimetrically calibrated (NIST traceable) in mg/m3 using standard SAE Fine (ISO Fine) test dust. Zeroing with particle-free air is accomplished quickly and effectively under field conditions using the zeroing kit including with the instrument.
  • Safety approvals and certifications – The pDR-1000AN complies with US FCC rules (Part 15) and has received CE certification. It also has intrinsic safety approval from the US Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for use in coal mining environments containing methane gas. The MSHA Type 2G approval closely resembles the standard intrinsic safety rating as defined by Class 1, Division 1, Group D. In addition, it meets US FCC and European CE rules.
