PRESSURE CAL IMPORTANT: Perform this check/calibration prior to any flow calibration. The pressure measurement of the T640 is for the ambient pressure that the instrument is operated in. No direct pneumatic connection to the instrument needs to be made to perform this check/calibration.
“Calibrate” button on this screen. The Measured Flow value should change to closely match the Actual Flow within a few seconds. 8. For the T640 with the 640X Option, leave the Bypass Tube disconnected and proceed to the bypass flow calibration procedure in Section 4.1.3.
Sample Flow Cal procedure above. Wait at least one minute for the flow to re-stabilize. 2. With the T640 running, go to the Calibration>Bypass Flow Cal menu. 3. Compare the “Measured Flow” in this screen to the Flow Standard.
1. Navigate to the PMT Adjust screen. 2. Remove the T640 sample inlet or the 640X Option sample inlet and press the Start button on this screen to suspend normal data acquisition and start this adjustment process.
Check volume flow. quarterly 5.2.5 Use NIST-traceable flow transfer standard device: 5.0 LPM ± 0.15 LPM (for T640) and 11.67 LPM ± 0.5 LPM (for 640X opt) (Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure). Check for leaks quarterly or as needed (Pump PWM 5.2.8...

5.2.4. CHECKING PUMP PERFORMANCE There is one internal pump in the T640. In addition, the 640X Option has a separate external pump. The pump(s) and the valve (640X Option only) must maintain proper flow for measurement accuracy. Check their performance levels in the Dashboard (If these parameters are not found in the Dashboard, configure the Dashboard to add them;...

5.2.8. CHECKING FOR LEAKS The internal components of the T640 are not meant to be under strict vacuum as what would normally be done in a leak test. So, to avoid damage to internal components, it is recommended that the inlet never be capped (air tight) while the instrument pump is running.
Check flow calibration. External pump, or bypass flow control valve may need replacing. Sample Temp Warning Sample Temperature Warning (>60) Check ASC (is it latched ON?) Ensure proper climate and ventilation for instrument. 08354A DCN7303 Teledyne API Model T640 PM Mass Monitor...

6.1.1. INLET The inlet for the T640 is designed to allow complete transmission of all particle sizes. The US EPA PM10 inlet used for the 640X Option samples at 16.67-LPM to mechanically size-cut the aerosol intake for sampling particles at 10 microns and under.
The flow stream is measured (main flow at 5 LPM for T640 and bypass at 11.67 for 640X Option), and a feedback loop triggers the pump drive voltage adjustments to maintain a constant flow (5 LPM in the T640, 16.67 LPM in the 640x Option).
