Page 32: Setup Menu
Setup Menu Pressing Setup activates the Setup Menu touchscreen buttons along the left edge of the screen. Setup is not accessible when the instrument is sampling. The main screen of the Setup screen displays the following information: Serial Number The instruments serial number. Model Number The instruments model number. -
Page 33: Zero Cal
Zero Cal Run Zero Cal the first time the instrument is used and repeat prior to every use. Zero Cal requires that the zero filter be attached prior to running. Zero Cal must also be performed if the unit is reading negative concentrations. It is not possible for the DustTrak to read negative concentrations. -
Page 34: Flow Cal
Flow Cal Run Flow Cal to change the flow set point. The flow set point is factory set to 3 L/min total flow. 2 L/min of the total flow is measured aerosol flow. 1 L/min of total flow is split off, filtered, and used for sheath flow. There is an internal P flowmeter in the DustTrak II instrument that controls flow rate to ±5% of the factory setpoint. -
Page 35: User Cal
User Cal User Cal allows you to store and use 10 different calibration factors. In addition, there are two factory defaults, one is the “Ambient Cal” and the other is the “Factory Cal”. The “Ambient Cal” is appropriate for outdoor ambient dust or fugitive dust monitoring. - Page 36 Name User can rename calibration to a description name. Photometric Changes the factory calibration of particle signal, based on Arizona Road Dust, to actual aerosol being measured. See below for sets to set this calibration. User Cal [on,off] Selecting On will activate current user calibration and deactivate the previously selected user calibration.
- Page 37 Conduct a preflow calibration on the DustTrak monitor using the same kind of sample media you will sample with. Now, attach the sample media you intend to sample with and start sampling aerosol for the desired time. After the desired run time, stop the sampling. Remove the filter from the DustTrak monitor and follow your laboratory’s criteria for filter post weight.
- Page 38 Photometric Calibration Factor In most situations, the DustTrak monitor with its built-in data logging capability can provide very good information on how the concentration of an aerosol changes for different processes over time. Factory calibration to the respirable fraction of standard ISO 12103-1, A1 test dust is fairly representative of a wide variety of workplace aerosols.
- Page 39 N o t e Greater accuracy will be obtained with longer samples. The time you permit for sampling often depends on the reference instrument and characteristics of the measured aerosol. It may take some time to collect sufficient aerosol onto a filter cassette for accurate gravimetric analysis.
-
Page 40: Alarm
Alarm Alarm allows you to set an alarm level that will be triggered if the instrument’s reading goes above the setpoint. However, the alarm functioning is determined by the logging interval. The alarm will turn ON only if the average concentration over the logging interval exceeds the set point. - Page 41 Alarm1 Setpoint [mg/m The alarm1 setpoint is the mass concentration level upon which the alarm1 is triggered. Alarm will trigger if the mass concentration, taken at the logging interval, rises above the setpoint. N o t e Alarm 2 must be lower than Alarm 1 when both alarms are enabled.
-
Page 42: Analog
STEL Alarm STEL stands for Short Term Exposure Limit. When a STEL alarm is selected, the instrument will inspect the data on a second by second basis, independent from the selected logging interval. If the mass exceeds the STEL limit, then a STEL event triggers and the following actions will be taken. STEL indicator The STEL indicator will show Red on the main screen. -
Page 43: Settings
Analog setup screen sets the parameters that will drive the analog out port. Applies to the 8530 Desktop model only. Analog out [On, Off] Turns analog out port on.
