Setting Up
The setup of the Environmental Enclosure is an important part in
allowing reliable and accurate sampling of aerosols in a wide range of
conditions. TSI® cannot ensure accurate measurements if any of the
components are set up incorrectly. Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the enclosure or its components.
Install the Aerosol or Respirable Aerosol Inlet
The inlet assembly allows ambient aerosols to be sampled efficiently
in a wide range of conditions. Proper installation into its sampling
position ensures that the DustTrak™ II/DRX aerosol monitor
measures an accurate ambient aerosol mass concentration. Follow
these instructions to install either of the aerosol inlets:
1. Remove the Inlet Transport Plug from bubble pack.
C A U T I O N
Always hold the inlet assembly by the knurled portion
of the tube. DO NOT twist on the inlet assembly cap.
2. Thread the inlet assembly into upper inlet ring found on the top of
the Environmental Enclosure (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Thread the Inlet into the Inlet Ring
10 Chapter 2
NOTICE
Make sure that a thin film of vacuum grease is coating both O-rings
on the inlet tube to ensure a good seal before installing it.
DO NOT use the Respirable Aerosol Inlet in the rain. As it will
aspirate rainwater into the cyclone body.
If a Heat Shield is used, you need to install the inlet after you install
the Heat Shield (see Figure 6).
Install Heat Shield Assembly (optional accessory)
The optional Heat Shield Assembly is designed to protect the
DustTrak™ monitor from excessive heating inside the Environmental
Enclosure due to direct sunlight.
NOTICE
Be sure to remove the Inlet Transport Plug from the top of the
Enclosure prior to attaching the Heat Shield Assembly.
1. Remove the 4 waterproof bolt assemblies from the Heat Shield
mount locations (Figure 4). Save these nuts and bolts for future
usage when the Heat Shield is not used.
Figure 4: Remove Waterproof Bolt Assemblies from
Heat Shield Mount Locations
2. Remove the Inlet Transport Plug from the top of the Enclosure at
the Inlet Ring.
