The Thermo Scientific Model PDM3600 is a real-time, respirable dust monitor designed specifically for U.S. based mining applications.
*This instrument is currently only available for sale in the United States.
Product Detail
Engineered for timely, high-quality personal dust exposure information, the PDM3600 protects miners' health by ensuring that the shift-average respirable dust exposure does not exceed regulatory limits. Providing mine workers and management with the tools to personally monitor and reduce their exposure, the PDM3600 is the first line of defense in preventing long-term health effects.
The PDM3600 provides three primary, real-time and two secondary, user-initated measurements:
Screen Display
Real-time Primary Measurements
30 MIN CONC
= Primary current mass concentration (mg/m3)
Represents the latest 30-minute running average of dust
exposure
CUM1
= Primary cumulative mass concentration (mg/m3)
Equals the total dust loading since the beginning of the
working shift
PERCNT OF LIMIT
= Indicates percent of exposure limit for primary sample run
Screen Display
Secondary User-initiated Measurements
15 MIN CONC
= Secondary current concentration (mg/m3 )
Represents the last 15-minute running average of dust
exposure since user-intiated activiation
CUM2
= Secondary mass concentration (mg/m3 )
Represents the dust loading since user initated activiation
Key Features:
• Bright, low power consuming LED primary work
light with dual low power secondary LED lights
• Waterproof cap lamp battery protection
• Mine-proven power take-off connector
• PC-based software for data downloading
and review of status flags
• Integral charger with download station of
PC interface
Safety / Electrical Designations
The PDM3600 is for use in the United States and complies with the following requirements:
- Certified intrinsically safe by the Mine Safety
Health Administration (MSHA) (19-A040002-0)
- EN61326-1:2005
- FCC Part 15 subpart B
- UN T1-T8 (shipment of lithium ion batteries)
The PDM3600 Charger is designed to complies with the ANSI/UL 1012 standard for power units other than Class 2, 7th Edition (4/29/05).
*The PDM3600 was designed under contract with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Pittsburgh Research Laboratory) to empower miners and mine operators with the information to protect personnel from elevated dust concentrations.
