5030 SHARP Monitor

Take continuous high resolution measurements of airborne particulates with long- and short-term precision using the Thermo Scientific™ 5030 SHARP Monitor. This non-stepwise hybrid ambient monitor utilizes a combination of beta attenuation and light scattering technology to measure PM-10, PM-2.5 or PM-1 mass concentrations.

The 5030 SHARP Continuous Ambient Particulate Monitor consists of a C14 source, detector and a light scattering Nephelometer in a rack-mountable enclosure. It distinguishes itself from other beta gauge measurement methods by utilizing a continuous (non-step wise) hybrid mass measurement with two proven industry technologies, which provides for long term unattended operation. It automatically advances the filter tape based upon a user defined frequency or particulate loading.

Key Features:

• Meets U.S. and International Particulate Monitoring Regulations
• Combines the long term accuracy of a beta gauge with the short term precision of a Nephelometer
• Has a measurement time resolution of 1 minute (update every four seconds)
• Simultaneously collects samples and measures on a single sample spot located between the C14 source and the proportional detector
• Incorporates an intelligent moisture reduction (IMR) system designed to maintain the relative humidity of the air passing through the filter tape measurement assembly
• Unit is a compact 19 in. and is rack mountable

Additional Information:

• Dynamic digital filtering for continuous calibration update
• Control and data exchange over two serial interfaces on monitor
• Storage of half-hour average concentrations over a whole year
• User-selectable reporting of mass concentration based on standard or actual flow rate
• Calibration of all sensors is processor-controlled
• Measurement Cycle consists of single filter spot in position for 24 hours (default); user-selectable 30 minutes to 24 hours
• Data Averages/Values Displayed: Each full 1/2 and 24-hour values automatically stored; each full, 1/2, 1, 3, and 24-hour
