5 Technical description
The appliance for air sampling air sampler is used to aspirate a defined volume flow
through an air sampling filter. The filters are analysed in a laboratory
The permanent regulation of the volume flow, as well as calibrated sensors and a laminar
element flow constitute the base for precise measurements. Measured are: Volume flow,
temperature, relative humidity, absolute and barometric pressure. The time of
measurement lost through power failure is re-established.
A dry contact enables the connection to an external alert giver or to a mobile phone. The
contact switches according to the adjustment by exceeding of different parameters, by
power failure or at the end of a measurement.
The combination between a simple operation and a high technical standard makes the
airsampler a powerful measuring appliance, which fulfils by far all demands of the air
measurement mobile or stationary.
