●
Federal Regulations define respirable dust concentrations as being made
with an instrument developed by the Mining Research Establishment
(MRE) of the National Coal Board, England or its equivalent.
Users can set up the TEOM 3600 PDM's sample run parameters,
including identifying the mine information and setting up the sample start
time, duration and type.
1. When in the PDM - COM1 screen, select the "Program Shift" button
to display the Program Shift screen
2. When in the Program Shift screen, enter the basic parameters
including, if necessary, the 8-digit identification number of the person
who is wearing the PDM unit ("1. Wearer ID"), the mine
identification number ("2. Mine ID"), the contractor code ("3.
Contractor Code"), the name of the mine where the PDM unit will be
sampling ("4. Mine Name") and the company name ("5. Company
Name").
3. Enter the start date and time that you want the PDM unit to begin its
programmed sample run in the white box located under "6-7. Sample
Start Time." Also, you can place your cursor on the small black
arrow/triangles located on the right-hand side of the white box and
click with your mouse to increase or decrease the start date and time.
Set the sample time at least 35 minutes away to allow for the unit's
warm-up time.
4. Enter the time duration that you want the PDM unit to continuously
run a programmed sample in the box under "8. Sample Duration". You
can use the small arrows to the right the box to increase or decrease the
sample duration time or type in the value directly.
5. Use the Type of Sample drop-down menu to select the appropriate
sample type. The selected sample type should now be displayed in the
"9. Type of Sample (select one)" box
(Figure 3–12).
