- Honored at the Reiner-Lemoine-Innovation-Award 2023
- Touch display for intuitive menu control with colorguided status information
- All-weather sampling system, –40 to 60 °C, 60 g/m³ absolute humidity and wind
- Output of six dust mass fractions TSP, PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1, PMcoarse, total particle concentration and particle number size distribution
- Aerodynamic aerosol focusing as per ISO 21501‑1, no border zone error, total inlet flow analyzed in optical cell
- PSL traceable particle sizing as per ISO 21501‑1
- Flexible data protocols: GRIMM protocol, Modbus, GESYTEC / Bayern-Hessen protocol
Benefits:
- Suitable for PM monitoring under any environmental conditions and at all sites (traffic, urban, background, maritime, mountain and others)
- Robust design, energy efficient and lowest running costs
- Low maintenance due to internal particle-free purge-air circuit to protect the optical components
- Fits in all existing EDM (180, 180+) installations
- Stand-alone option with fully air-conditioned weather protection housing (construction site monitoring, port facilities, etc.)
Applications:
- Approved immission measuring device for particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 in air monitoring networks
- Source apportionment with high time resolution for air pollution control strategies
- Insensitive to vibrations, therefore also suitable for installation in measuring vehicles
