The Aurora 2000 PM2.5 Correlating Nephelometer is part of the ‘new generation’ nephelometers using a single wavelength and an BETA monitor to measure aerosol light scattering and derive particulate concentrations.
The Aurora 2000 enables the calculation of a correlation factor based on a PM2.5 reference method which is then used to derive every minute a PM2.5 concentrations along with the usual light scattering. The correction factor can be entered manually or automatically derived from hourly averages from a continuous PM2.5 monitor.
Features
AUTO CALIBRATION
Simplified automatic calibration using internal valves, ideal for remote locations
FULLY INTEGRATED PACKAGE INCLUDING:
internal sample pump, sample heater, internal calibration valves, zero air pump & data logger
INTERNAL SAMPLE HEATER
Internal sample heater with temperature or RH control, which can be enabled by the user to eliminate the effects of humidity (RH: < 30 to < 90 % )
ENERGY
12 VDC operation (45 W max, 13 W nominal)
REMOTE CONTROLE
Remote control through serial interface
Light Source
The Aurora 2000 can be equipped with any one of the following LED light sources:
450 nm (blue) for fine & ultra fine particulates (wood fires, automobiles)
525 nm (green) for visibility
635 nm (red) for large particulates (e.g. pollen).
Configurations
Aurora 2000 PM2.5 Nephelometer — manual correction factor configuration
In applications where the aerosol chemistry is stable, a correction factor can be manually entered which then provides excellent results with minimal maintenance and a high degree of correlation.
