SidePak™ AM520i Personal Aerosol Monitor

Model Number: AM520I

The SidePak™ AM520i is IECEx, ATEX, CSA, and IECEx-SIM certified for use in explosive environments. It provides real-time aerosol mass concentration readings for PM10, respirable, China respirable, PM2.5, PM1 and 0.8 DPM.

This product is not available in all countries (please reach out to your sales representative for availability).

Product Details

The SidePak™ AM520i Personal Aerosol Monitor is a small, single-channel, portable, battery-operated, data-logging, light-scattering laser photometer that provides real-time aerosol mass concentration readings of dusts, fumes, mists, smoke and fog within a worker breathing zone. Newly designed inlet conditioners increase the mass concentration capability and provide size fraction cut points for PM10, PM4 (Respirable), PM5 (China Respirable), PM2.5 , PM1 and 0.8 μm Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM).

The SidePak AM520i has IECEx, ATEX, CSA and IECEx-SIM certifications, meaning it can help you protect workers and maintain compliance in a variety of potentially volatile environments.
