AM ll 16/32 Aerosol Manifold for Sequential Monitoring
Advanced Aerosol Manifold for sequentially monitoring aerosol contamination at multiple cleanroom locations with a fixed airborne particle counter.
Point of Product
Description
The AM II Aerosol Manifold from Particle Measuring Systems offers advanced features for sequentially monitoring contamination at multiple cleanroom locations with a fixed airborne particle counter. The AM II aerosol manifold is ideal for trend analysis and cleanroom verification when continuous monitoring is not needed.
Features
- Multiplexed sequential particle monitoring of up to 32 locations with a single airborne particle counter
- Controlled by Facility Net or Pharmaceutical Net Software
- Programmable recipes and sample point sequences
- Assembly designed to eliminate contamination from valves
- Alarm for low vacuum; automatic shut-off for pump overheating
Benefits
- Most economical cleanroom monitoring of fixed points at timed intervals
- Low cost per sample location
- Monitors a much larger area than a fixed particle counter
- Ethernet communications to facility monitoring system
- Easily programs a sampling routine, for either simple or complex sequences
- Automatically changes sampling recipe upon receiving alarm or external signal
- Large coverage area: each sample point can be up to 125 ft away
- Patented flow control ensures the aerosol manifold properly compensates for pressure drop, eliminating systematic particle undercounting of up to 15%
- Maintains constant flow (nominal 3 CFM) at each particle counting sample location to minimize gravitational particle setting
- With isokinetic sampling probes, captures particles at the same velocity as sample air, preventing distortion in particle size relationships
Application
- Cleanroom Facility monitoring
- Monitoring large minienvironments
- Cleanroom verification and trend analysis
