C H A P T E R 1
Introduction and
Unpacking
The AeroTrak®+ Active Air Sampler is appropriate for use in monitoring
airborne biocontamination in critical environments. The sampler is a
sieve impactor that draws a specified volume of air through the
perforations in a cap and around a plate of nutrient media. Viable
particles with sufficient mass contained in the drawn in air fall out of the
air stream and impact on the surface of the media. The media is then
incubated for a specified time under appropriate conditions to allow for
the growth of visible colonies.
The sampler is comprised of two parts, a sample head and a control box.
The sample head includes the perforated cap and holds a standard size
(90 mm) agar plate. The control box contains the electronic components
and a critical orifice. When connected to an appropriate vacuum source,
the critical orifice controls the flow at 1.0 cfm (28.3 L/min).
Sampling is controlled by TSI Incorporated’s Facility Monitoring System
Software. Communication with the software is via integrated Ethernet
(TCP/IP) and serial Modbus RTU.
The following table shows the active air sampler models covered by
this manual.

Electrical Connections
The state-of-the art AeroTrak®+ Remote Active Air Sampler supports
multiple communications and connectivity options. A brief description of
each of the connections is listed below.
Device Connections
•12-24 VDC/Relay Connector
•Ethernet Connector
•USB-C Connector
12-24 VDC / Relay Connector
This connector can be used as either a 12–24 VDC power connection
when Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) is not available and as a relay
connection.
If used as a power connector, only a TSI-supplied 12 VDC power supply
(such as TSI model PSU-ARWP) should be used.

RELAY1 –Contact 1 for internal relay
4
RELAY2 –Contact 2 for internal relay
If used as a relay, the alarm contact is used to indicate an alarm
condition. The alarm contact closure is normally open. The contact is
controlled by FMS. The relay contact is rated for a 2A @ 30 VDC load.
This relay can be controlled by external software (i.e. FMS) and is
configured on the Configuration Utility.
Installation and Getting Started 2–3
Ethernet Connector
The air sampler should be connected to a 10/100 Mbps network that
supports Power-Over-Ethernet (802.3af PoE). The green LED indicates
that the network is connected. The yellow LED indicates activity on the
network cable.
The Ethernet LAN connector is a standard 10/100 Mbps 8-Position
8-Contact (8P8C, often called RJ45) modular plug connection that
supports Power-Over-Ethernet (802.3af PoE) devices.
USB-C Connector
This connection is used to communicate with the air sampler via a
USB-C cable connected to a Windows®operation system computer
running the Configuration Utility. The air sampler can be powered by
USB-C for configuration. The air sampler cannot be powered by USB-C
for sampling.
Installation
Installation of the AeroTrak®+ Remote Particle Counter consists of:
•Determine the Installation Location
•Mounting the Control Box
•Supplying Power to the Air Sampler
•Connecting the Air Sampler to a Computer
•Vacuum Tubing Installation
Determine the Installation Location
Determine the installation location according to your monitoring needs.
The remote active air sample head should be located close to a critical
location as determined by risk analysis. The control box should be
located such that the tube length to the sample head is kept to a
minimum (see Warning on page 2-7) and it does not pose a risk to the
process. It is generally convenient to mount the control box to a vertical
flat surface such as a wall, but it can also be mounted below the critical
work area or a convenient location close to the point of sampling. Access
to the control box for calibration should be considered.
2–4 AeroTrak®+ Remote Active Air Sampler Operation Manual
Mounting the Control Box
The AeroTrak®+ Remote Active Air
Sampler can be mounted using a
variety of mounting brackets and
schemes.
TSI provides an optional mounting
bracket (TSI P/N 700008-1) that
allows the control box to be easily
mounted and removed on a surface
(see figures).
To install the mounting bracket:
1. The bracket is provided with two
0.169-inch (4.30 mm) diameter
holes, suitable for a #6 or M4
screw. Screw the bracket to the
mounting surface using
appropriate screws.
2. Slide the particle counter onto
the mounting tabs at the top of
the bracket and snap it into the
locking tab (circled in figure).
To remove the AeroTrak®+ Active
Air Sampler from the mounting
bracket:
1. Press the locking tab at the top
of the bracket.
2. Lift the particle counter off the
mounting tabs.
Mounting Bracket (optional)
Remote Active Air Sampler
Mounted on Optional Bracket
Supplying Power to the Air Sampler
The AeroTrak®+ Remote Active Air Sampler may be powered in one of
two ways. For easy installation, the air sampler is designed to work
primarily with Power-Over-Ethernet (802.3af PoE). Alternatively, the air
sampler can be powered by the optional TSI Model PSU-ARWP power
supply or with a user supplied 12–24-volt supply. The air sampler can
operate with both PoE and AUX connected at the same time for
redundancy and backup continuous monitoring.
W A R N I N G
If the AeroTrak®+ Remote Active Air Sampler is powered by a network,
it should be connected only to a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
network that supports Power-Over-Ethernet according to the IEEE
802.3af PoE or IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard. Use of power supplied
over a network that does not comply with this standard could seriously
damage your air sampler.
