Introduction
The Thermo Scientific Model ADR-1500 is a real-time particulate
monitoring system designed for outdoor operation. The unit is designed for
continuous unattended monitoring with continuous real-time data
transmission to a central location and/or data logging. Its weatherproof
enclosure ensures safe and effective operation under a wide range of
ambient environmental conditions. Either a long-term monitoring HEPA
filter or optional sample collection filter can be used. Options include sharp
cut cyclones, tripod stand, relay and pole-mounting hardware.
The ADR-1500 incorporates light scattering photometry for which
Thermo Fisher Scientific (formerly MIE) is known worldwide. Long-term,
precise and drift-less measurements of airborne particulate matter
concentrations down to 1 μg/m
combination of optical sensing and electronic processing techniques refined
over the last 25 years.
The ADR-1500 can be used for size-selective particulate measurements
using an omni-directional inlet and ACGIH traceable metal cyclones for

monitoring the cyclone is removed from the inlet flow path and the inlet
remains in place.
In addition to the real-time particulate measurements, the instrument
provides the user with the capability to collect the sampled particles on a
37-millimeter filter for gravimetric and/or chemical analysis. Many
NIOSH filters, and thereby NIOSH methods, are compatible with the
ADR-1500.
A high-intensity flashing beacon is provided on the outside of the ADR-
1500 for visual alarm whenever the measured particulate concentration
exceeds a user selected alarm threshold. This alarm signal can be seen from
a considerable distance and is intended principally for perimeter
monitoring applications. For a description of the instrument and product
