77. y are sampled electronically in quasi real time providing both continuous and time averaged measures of mass accumulation that are directly proportional to instantaneous and time averaged mass concentrations in air respectively The device operates at an industry standard volume controlled flow rate of 16 7 L min so that it can be outfitted with a variety of commercially available pre separator inlets suitable for measuring PM The unit is fitted with a PM2 5 inlet head in this application Switching Instrument On Off Since the airflow is maintained at a constant volume corrected for local temperature and barometric pressure the operation of this monitor requires that the temperature and pressure sensors are connected for proper temperature and pressure readings and flow corrections Turn On Unit Supply power to the instrument by plugging in the power cord to 120 VAC and pressing the power button on the front panel of the TEOM control unit The main screen four line display will soon appear after showing the name of the instrument Turn on the pump to draw the sample streams by plugging in the power cord to 120 VAC The monitor waits at least 30 min after being powered up to compute the first mass concentration data Turn Off Unit Press the power button on the front panel of the TEOM control unit The four line display becomes blank Turn off the vacuum pump by pressing the power button and disconnect the control unit from 120 VAC by unp
