Introduction

EPA Standards

The following manual will instruct you in the unpacking, assemblage, operation,
calibration, and usage of the corresponding Tisch Environmental product. For
information on air sampling principles, procedures and requirements and to ensure
compliance with government regulations please contact the local Environmental
Protection Agency Office serving your area or visit www.epa.gov.

Safety Precautions

Before using Tisch Environmental products, always be sure to review the
corresponding operations manuals and take all necessary safety precautions. Tisch
Environmental products are to be used only for the purposes specified by
operations manuals and by Tisch Environmental personnel. Tisch Environmental
cannot guarantee the safe usage of its instruments in procedures that do not adhere
to Tisch Environmental guidelines and standards. If you have concerns about the
safety of your product or questions about safe practices, contact Tisch
Environmental by phone or e-mail to speak with a representative.

Important Safety Instructions

Read and understand all instructions. Do not dispose of these instructions. Failure to
follow all instruction listed in this manual may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
personal injury. When using an electrical device, basic precautions must always be
followed, including the precautions listed in the safety section of this manual. Never
operate this unit in the presence of flammable materials or vapors are present as
electrical devices may produce arcs or sparks that can cause fire or explosions.
Always disconnect power supply before attempting to service or remove any
components. Never immerse electrical parts in water or any other liquid. Always
avoid body contact with grounded surfaces when plugging or unplugging this device
is wet or dangerous conditions.

Electrical Installation

Installation must be carried out by specialized personal only, and must adhere to all
local safety rules. This unit can be used for different power supply versions; before
connecting this unit to the power line, always check if the voltage shown on the
serial number tag corresponds to the one on your power supply. This product does
use grounded plugs and wires. Grounding provides the path of least resistance for
electrical currents, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock to users. This system
is equipped with electrical cords with internal ground wires and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug
provided. If plug will not fit outlet, have the proper corresponding outlet installed by
a professional, qualified electrician.

Do Not Abuse Cords

In the event that any electrical component of this system needs to be transported,
DO NOT carry the unit by its power cord or unplug the unit by yanking the cord
from the outlet. Pull the plugs, not the cords, to reduce risk of damage to unit.
Keep all cords away from heat, oil, sharp objects, and moving parts.

Extension Cords

It is always advisable to use the shortest extension cord possible. Grounded units
require a three-wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wires results in serious changes in voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and possible damage to equipment. It is recommended to only use 10-gauge
extension cords for this product. Never use cords that exceed one hundred feet.
Outdoor extension cords must be marked with the suffix “W-A” (or “W” in Canada)to
indicate that it is suitable for outdoor usage. Always ensure that extension cords are
properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace damaged extension
cords immediately, or seek repair from qualified electricians before further use.
Remember to protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp
or wet conditions.

Product Description

Introduction

The High Volume Air Sampler (also known as a lead sampler) is the recommended
instrument for sampling large volumes of air for the collection of TSP (Total
Suspended Particulate). The physical design of the sampler is based on aerodynamic
principles that result in the collection of particles of 100 microns (Stokes Equivalent
Diameter) and less. The TE-5000-BL TSP sampler consists of a TE-5001 Anodized
Aluminum Shelter, TE-5001-10 Gabled Roof Assembly, TE-5005-BL Brushless
Blower Motor Assembly, TE-5003 8”x10” Stainless Steel Filter Holder, TE-5009
Continuous flow/pressure recorder, TE-106 Box of Charts, TE-5010 voltage
variator/elapsed time indicator, and TE-5007 Mechanical Timer.

Applications

 Ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air

quality standards.

 Impact of a specific source on ambient levels of suspended particulates by

incorporating a "wind-direction-activation" modification which permits the
sampler to operate only when conditions are such that a source-receptor
relationship exists.

 Monitoring of enclosed environments for relatively high levels of particulate

matter, particularly toxic materials.

 Monitoring of emissions from large diameter vents where physical conditions

preclude the use of conventional stack-testing equipment.

Calibration Requirements

TE-5000-BL TSP MFC High Volume Air Sampler should be calibrated:

 Upon installation
 After any motor maintenance
 Once every quarter (three months)
 After 360 sampling hours

Calibration Kits

The TE-5028 is the latest calibration kit available for use with the TE-5000-BL TSP
High Volume Air Sampler.

The TE-5028 is the preferred method to calibrate the TE-5000-BL TSP High Volume
Air Sampler. It simulates change in the resistance by merely rotating the knob on the
top of the calibrator. The infinite resolution lets the technician select the desired
flow resistance. The TE-5028 calibration kit includes: carrying case, 30” slack tube
water manometer, adapter plate, 3’ piece of tubing, and TE-5028A orifice with flow
calibration certificate. Optional electronic manometer is available.

Each TE-5028A is individually calibrated on a primary standard positive
displacement device (Rootsmeter) which is directly traceable to NIST.

** It is recommended by the EPA that each calibrator should be re-calibrated
annually for accuracy and reliability.
