Logging setup

To enable logging, click in the specific checkbox to enable one or all of the following measurements:

 Level : The instantaneous measurement at a specific point in time.

 STEL : The maximum concentration above the time-weighted average that employees can be exposed to over a specific time period (usually 15 minutes) no more than four (4) times per day. (See PEL for more information.)

 Max: The maximum measurement over the time interval (or logging interval).

 Min: The minimum measurement over the time interval (or logging interval).

 Avg: The measurement value over the time interval (or logging interval).

Logging rate Logging rate/interval (also called time history data) sets the frequency at which data will be logged during a session. The settings include: 1, 5, 15, 30 seconds and 1, 5,

10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes.

EVM and Auto-Run Setting

The EVM has four programmable auto-run settings including a timed run, a date, a day of week (DOW), and a disabled mode.

The following Auto-Run settings are briefly explained below:

 Timed-Run mode : With Timed Run, the EVM is powered on and run is enabled. The EVM will automatically stop based on the programmed duration.




 Date mode : With Date mode, With the date mode, it will wake up the instrument from a powered down or on condition, runs the study, saves it, then powers down again. Up to four date settings are programmable with a specified date, time (in hours, minutes, seconds), and duration via the soft keys.

 Days of week mode : The days of the week (DOW) setting is a pre-programmed weekly auto-run with a specified day, start time, and duration with two auto on settings. The programmable settings include a day of the week, start time, and duration.

Timed-Run and Auto-Run Setting

EVM and Triggering Settings

There are two types of triggering outputs which may be programmed to with one of the seven sensors.

 NOTE : Refer to the EVM triggering table identifies the components of this setup screen.

Digital output: You can connect an external device to the monitor. This can be used to signal a specific level to turn on a notification device, an LED, or a fan motor at a specific threshold (or set point). Once enabled, the following three are selectable parameters: a sensor, logic setting, and threshold setting.

Analog output : Enables the analog output on the device when checked. The analog output will vary between 0–5 volts based upon the minimum and maximum levels for the particular sensor.

1.

Click on the Triggering tab (see ❶ ) from the EVM’s Instrument Communications panel.

Explanation

Enables the digital output on the device when checked per the mode, parameter, and threshold settings. NOTE : Only one of these parameters (Digital Output, Analog

Output, or Air Velocity) can be enabled at one time.

Enables the analog output on the device when checked. The analog output will vary between 0-5 volts based upon the minimum and maximum levels for the particular sensor.

The type of signal that will be triggered when the parameter and threshold are satisfied. It may either be active high, active low, active high pulse, or active low pulse.

(Reference Table 3-3 for detailed information.)

The sensor that is to trigger the digital/analog output.

The threshold at which the sensor will be triggered for the given parameter.

Enables the Air Velocity Input when checked. NOTE : This is mutually exclusive with the digital out meaning that only one or the other can be enabled at any given time.

Sets the units in which the wind speed will be measured, either meters per second or feet per minute.

Particulate sampling is measured with either mg/m 3 or µg/m 3 . This is selectable via the drop down menu. Particulates setting is either in mg/m 3

(milligrams per cubic meter) or µ g/m 3 (micrograms per cubic meter).

The amount of dust, in milligrams, that has been accumulated by the dust sensor since the last time it has been reset.

The volume of air that has passed through the gravimetric filter since the last time it has been reset.

Retrieves the setup configuration from the device for the General, Input /

Output, and Dust Configuration tabs.

Sends the setup configuration from the General, Input / Output, and Dust

Configuration tabs to the device.

From this window you can save or load a default or custom configuration profile that has been or will be archived for quick access.

 NOTE : Contact TSI, for details on obtaining updates www.tsi.com

or email: [email protected]

. Follow below to update your instrument.

1. Ensure the EVM Series is communicating. (See “ EVM Communication setup ” above for details.)
