This document is the operation manual for E-BAM-9800 particulate monitor, including assembly and start-up, user interface and menu system, sample site selection, etc.
This manual provides instructions for the E-BAM-9800 Environmental Beta Attenuation Monitor, a device that automatically measures and records airborne PM10 or PM2.5 particulate concentration levels using the principle of beta ray attenuation. The device utilizes a Carbon-14 source and a scintillation detector to determine mass concentration in milligrams per cubic meter of air.
| Measured Particulate | PM10 or PM2.5 |
|---|---|
| Measurement Principle | beta ray attenuation |
| Concentration Unit | milligrams per cubic meter |
| Source Element | Carbon 14 |
The E-BAM is an Environmental Beta Attenuation Monitor designed for portable applications requiring rapid deployment and short interval real-time measurements.
It uses a vacuum pump to pull air through a filter tape positioned between a Carbon-14 source and a scintillation detector, measuring the attenuation of beta particles.
Technical service representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
