Page 9: Setting-Up
Chapter 2 Setting-Up Assembly Instructions for the Calibrators The calibrator can be quickly attached to the battery pack by screwing the mounting lugs into the threaded holes in the base of the calibrator. The lugs should then be placed over the receiving holes in the top of the battery pack and snapped gently into place. -
Page 10: Supplying Power
Power Supply: 7.5 VDC ± 1.5 V, 300 mA maximum Connecting Filter and Flow Tubes The Model 4046/4146 has a thermal sensor exposed to the air flow ® that must be protected from foreign matter and particles. TSI supplies a filter that should be connected to the inlet of the calibrator;... - Page 11 Figure 2-2 Typical Setup Configurations Setting-Up...
- Page 12 Active Sampling Instrument without internal dampening chamber (e.g., ® SidePak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor) Figure 2-3 Typical Dampening Module Set Up Use the 6 in. (15 cm) tubing to connect the dampening chamber in line between the Model 4146 Calibrator and the instrument. For best results, position Dampening Module with openings to the side, off the work surface.

Page 13: Operation
Be sure to follow all instrument manufacturer’s flow setting and calibration procedures. 1. Start up the Model 4046/4146 Calibrator and let it warm up for 1 minute prior to setting any flow rates or conducting any calibrations. -
Page 14: Dampening Module
Dampening Module The Dampening Module is included for use with systems that DO NOT have internal dampening chambers. The Dampening Module (P/N 1040229) can be added in line between the end of the sampling train and the Model 4146 calibrator. The Dampening Module reduces flow pulsation with insignificant affect on flow rate or back pressure. - Page 15 NOTICE ® The TSI DustTrak and SidePak Sampling Pumps contain internal dampening chambers. The Dampening Module is not needed to measure flow rates with these instruments. ® The TSI SidePak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor does not ® contain an internal dampening chamber. TSI recommends using the Dampening Module when using the Model 4146 Calibrator to measure AM510 flow rates.

External Dimensions ..(18.3 cm × 6.4 cm × 5.3 cm) Model 4146: 5 in. × 2 in. × 1.25 in. - Page 22 NOTES: Accuracy stated at standard conditions of 21.1°C and 101.3 kPa. Accuracy stated with air temperature and flow body temperature within ±10°C of one another. Accuracy stated measuring dry air (less than 10% R.H.). Includes ±0.5% of reading repeatability. Volumetric flow rate is calculated from the mass flow measurement. Add an additional 0.25% of reading to the flow accuracy to account for the uncertainty in measuring air temperature and pressure.

Page 25: Primary Vs. Secondary Standard
Appendix B Primary vs. Secondary Standard By definition, a primary standard is one whose value is without relation or comparison to any other reference. There are three primary standards—mass, length, and time. There is no primary standard for air flow rate since the measurement is dependent on all three primary standards of mass, length, and time. - Page 26 (This page intentionally left blank) Appendix B...
