Model AA-3000

(0.4 MB)

Air-Aide Airborne Particulate Monitor Model AA-3000 is a portable handheld survey tool for measuring lung damaging particulate matter. The unique sensor design has applications in indoor air quality, HVAC, environmental and industrial hygiene.

Indoor air quality investigations will find the AA-3000 to be a very useful piece of equipment. With it's battery lasting approximately 6 hours you can simply start your sampling at the beginning of the day and leave the AA-3000 to sample on its on for the rest of the day. The unit can also be run off of the supplied charger.

At the end of the day simply download or even shut off the instrument, the data will be saved in the memory of the instrument until it is manually erased or overwritten. The ease of use with AA-3000 doesn't get much simpler.

Applications

AA-3000 can be used for all sorts of particulate monitoring. The AA-3000 has several application uses seen below that can be helpful in developing an air regulation system. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor ambient monitoring. The AA-3000 is an excellent assistant tool for the OSHA/EPA compliance methods. Giving you direct real-time readings in mg/m³.

Features

The Air Aide Airborne particulate monitor has a multitude of features the list could go on forever, but for now we will just name a few. The AA-3000 immediately displays and stores data into the memory. The supplied PC software allows for graphical and statistical representation of the total dust generating process, eliminating the need for repetitive and costly filter gravimetric analysis.

Direct reading with high resolution and stability.
Active sample flow using a long-life air sampling pump.
Location codes; user-defined audible alarm; security code restricts unauthorized use.
Size Selective foam inlets.
Rechargeable battery. Units run on AC or DC power.
On-screen programming of sampling and data storage parameters.
Easy to clean optical sensor.
Selection of different built in-calibration factors for fine and coarse particulate matter.
CE, ETL approved.
