W A R N I N G
The instrument has been design to be used with batteries
supplied by TSI. Do not use a substitute.
Disposing of old batteries must be recycled in accordance
with the local environmental regulations.
W A R N I N G
Do not use non-rechargeable batteries in this instrument.
Fire, explosions, or other hazards may result.
Chapter 2
Setting Up
Supplying Power to the DustTrak DRX Aerosol Monitor
The Model 8533 and 8534 DustTrak DRX Aerosol Monitor must be powered
by either batteries or using the external AC adapter.
Installing the Batteries in 8533/8533EP Desktop
Remove the battery cover and slide one or two batteries into the battery slots.
A single battery can be put into either slot. Orient the batteries with the label
side facing up (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1: Batteries into Desktop Unit
Installing the Batteries in 8534 Handheld
Remove the battery cover by loosening captured screw on the bottom of the
unit. Orient battery with brass connectors facing forward. Insert battery into
cavity and slide forward to engage into pins. Replace the battery cover and
secure by tightening screw (see Figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2: Batteries into Handheld Unit
W A R N I N G
Turn the DustTrak monitor OFF before connecting the
external pump. Turn the DustTrak monitor ON only after
connecting the External Module.
Connecting the External Pump to DustTrak Model 8533EP
The Model 8533EP is a Desktop DustTrak monitor with an external pump.
This DustTrak monitor has no internal pump and will not work with any other
external pump other than the one provided by TSI (p/n 801675). The Model
8533EP is intended for applications where the DustTrak monitor is operated
continuously over extended periods (several days to months) under wide
temperature fluctuations (0 to 50°C). The external pump is designed to be
more robust for 24/7 operation of the DustTrak monitor and is warranted to
operate continuously for one full year or 8760 hours. The Model 8533EP is
ideal for fugitive dust monitoring.
The pump and the DustTrak monitor come separately and require assembly.
Follow the steps below to connect the pump with the Model 8533EP DustTrak
monitor.
1. Connect the pump end of the quick connect to the pump module (see
Figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3: Connect Pump End of Quick Connect to Pump Module
Chapter 2

2. Likewise, plug one end of the power connector to the pump module as
W A R N I N G
The Pump module design does not allow for installation
outdoors without any protection from the elements. Always
operate it within an enclosure.
shown above. Turn the power connector until it clicks and locks in place.
This prevents the connector from disconnecting due to vibration or
movement.
3. Connect the exhaust adapter to the exhaust of the DustTrak monitor (see
Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4: Connect Exhaust Adapter to Exhaust of DustTrak Monitor
4. Connect the other end of the flow tubing to the exhaust adapter of the
DustTrak monitor.
5. Connect the other end of the power connector to the DustTrak monitor
(see Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-5: Connect Power Connector to DustTrak Monitor
The DustTrak external pump module does not require an A/C adapter. It is
always powered off the DustTrak monitor.
Setting-Up
14
Notes
1. The power connector and the flow quick connect “click” when
securely connected. The power connector must be rotated
clockwise past the locking pin.
2. Do not hot-plug the External Pump Module when the
DustTrak monitor is turned ON. Always connect the External
Pump module first and then turn the DustTrak monitor ON.
3. TSI recommends that the DustTrak monitor with the external
pump be operated in the Model 8535 Environmental
Enclosure.
4. TSI recommends that the pump module be operated when
mounted on its feet and avoid operating at other orientations
as much as possible.
5. Pump module and the DustTrak monitor should be at the
same electrical potential.
6. The additional port on the external pump module is where the
pump exhausts the flow. For applications where the DustTrak
monitor is sampling from a chamber or a duct at pressures
significantly different from the ambient, TSI recommends
plumbing the exhaust of the external pump back in to the
chamber/duct.
Using the AC Adapter to Run Instrument
W A R N I N G
When Charging Battery the ambient temp must not
exceed 42°C.
The AC adapter allows you to power the DustTrak monitor from an AC wall
outlet. When using the AC adapter, the batteries (if installed) are bypassed.
Battery Charging
This instrument will charge the Lithium Ion battery packs. Insert the batteries
into the battery compartment, plug the instrument into AC power, and turn the
instrument on. Batteries will charge only when the instrument is on and in
stand-by mode. Batteries will not charge if the instrument is turned off or is
actively taken measurements. Charging will stop when the batteries are fully
charged.
Inlet Cap
When using the DustTrak monitor to sample environmental air, the inlet cap
should be put over the instrument. This cap will keep large objects from
dropping into and plugging the inlet. The cap will also keep direct light from
shinning into the chamber and skewing the results.
The inlet cap can simply be pressed onto the instruments inlet.
Chapter 2

Note
To use TrakPro software with the DustTrak Aerosol Monitor, the
PC must be running Microsoft Windows® and the computer must
have an available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
Note
If the software does not start automatically after a few minutes,
manually run the program listed on the label of the CD using the
Run command on the Windows Start Menu.
Figure 2-6: Putting on Inlet Cap
Instrument Setup
The DustTrak DRX monitor can be connected to a computer to download
data and upload sampling programs.
Connecting to the Computer
Connect the USB host port of a Microsoft® Windows®-based computer to the
USB device port on the side of the DustTrak monitor.
Installing TrakPro™ Data Analysis Software
TrakPro software can preprogram the DustTrak monitor, download data, view
and create raw data and statistical reports, create graphs, and combine
graphs with data from other TSI instruments that use TrakPro software. The
following sections describe how to install the software and set up the
computer.
1. Insert the TrakPro Data Analysis Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
The install screen starts automatically.
2. Follow the directions to install TrakPro software.

installation on your computer, so it may be consulted during the installation.
The TrakPro Software manual is located in the “Help” file in TrakPro software.
There is no separately printed TrakPro Data Analysis software manual.
Connecting Analog/Alarm Output
The Analog/Alarm Output Cable plugs into the alarm connection on the side
of the instrument. This feature is on the desktop models (II, II HC and
8533) only.
The cable contains a 4-pin, mini-DIN connector. The pin-outs for the
connector and the wiring for the cable are shown below.

Correct polarity must be observed (see pin-outs above).
The output cable supplied by TSI (part no. 801652) is labeled with the pin-out
wiring diagram. Additional equipment may be needed for making connections
to the system that TSI does not supply. It is your responsibility to specify and
supply all additional equipment.
