TSI SidePak™ AM520i Personal Aerosol Monitor

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.
