DustTrak 8530 & 8532 Aerosol Dust Monitors
Overview
The new DUSTTRAK II and DRX Dust Monitors are battery-operated, data-logging, light-scattering laser photometers that give you real-time aerosol mass readings. They use a sheath air system that isolates the aerosol in the optics chamber to keep the optics clean for improved reliability and low maintenance.
Suitable for clean office settings as well as harsh industrial workplaces, construction and environmental sites, and other outdoor dust management applications. The new DustTrak 8530 Dust Monitors measure aerosol contaminants such as dust, smoke, fumes, and mists. You can perform quick spot checks or site surveys using the hand held 8532 model. Or alternatively program the advanced logging modes for long-term unattended sampling with the desktop 8530 model.
For outdoor applications, the unit is available with an 8535 Environmental Enclosure, or for remote applications we have the ECO Dust Management Station which incorporates a solar powered, remote telemetry system with SMS alarms.
