EDM 280
Environmental dust monitor for PM monitoring in ambient air
Latest generation optical aerosol spectrometer with unique detection limit and excellent counting efficiency. Suitable for real-time PM monitoring under any environmental conditions and at all sites.
Functionality: Light scattering at single particles
Benefits
- Real-time, accurate air quality monitoring
Delivers complete and precise detection without under- or overestimation. Certified for 1-minute measurement intervals – unique in its class. Aerodynamically focused detection volume compliant with ISO 21501-1, ensuring precise measurements without border zone errors; total aerosol flow analyzed in optical cell. - Certified for regulatory air quality monitoring
QAL1-certified (TÜV) for PM10 and PM2.5 measurements in accordance with EN 12341, EN 16450, EN 15267 and VDI 4202-3. Approved by LCSQA for use in regulatory air quality monitoring networks. - Comprehensive, optical particle measurement
Measures the widest range of particle sizes (0.178 to 29.4 μm), including TSP, PM10, PM2.5, PM4, PM1, and PMcoarse. Provides full particle size distribution in 72 size channels - High-precision laser technology
Equipped with a monochromatic laser that minimizes the influence of particle composition, ensuring consistent and reliable results. - Low maintenance, long service life
No consumables required. Durable laser with a lifespan of over 10 years. Internal particle-free purge air system reduces considerably maintenance needs. - NEW: On-site calibration without factory return
The EDM 280 requires no routine adjustments thanks to its drift-free factory-set optical system. Includes optionally a Field Verification and Calibration Kit – with a dual-size aerosol generator for two-point linearity checks – for on-site quality assurance and continuous operation without data loss. - Compact, modular design
19˝ rack design, vibrations resistant and compatible with existing AQMS cabinets or mobile monitoring laboratories, where space might be limited. - Fast and easy installation
Designed for quick setup by a single person in 30 minutes. The analyzer can be removed from the rack cabinet without dismantling the sampling system -simply unlock the connection and release the device. - High compatibility and integration
The EDM 280 offers enhanced integration compatibility with other air quality monitors or air pollution DAHS and reporting software, ensuring seamless incorporation into different AAQMS stations and air quality monitoring networks.
Applications
- Approved immission measuring device for particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 in air monitoring networks
- Source apportionment with high time resolution for air pollution control strategies
- Insensitive to vibrations, therefore also suitable for installation in measuring vehicles
