Operation of ACCU System Particulate Matter sampler in Ambient Air in conjunction with the Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM)

The ACCU System is an optional Automatic Cartridge Collection Unit apparatus that permits capture of particulate and gaseous samples in conjunction with the operation of the Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM). The TEOM microprocessor controls the ACCU System and permits the operator to schedule timers to control the sampling times. The procedure described in this document is for the operation of the ACCU sampler in conjunction with TEOM operations within the NAPS and AENV networks.

The operating manual supplied by the instrument manufacturer (R&P part no. 42-003347) provides detailed installation and operating procedures. Those procedures are part of this operating method.
