1
Theory of Operation• Achieves a linear (non ambiguous) signal
• Provides both high resolution and wide particle size range
• PM Mass is calculated using a sophisticated mass conversion algorithm based upon years
of proven ambient comparability assessments with Reference sampler data
• Only made possible with fundamentally accurate and high resolution particle size
measurements
Polychromatic Light
– T640
Monochromatic
(660nm laser) Light –
conventional
scattering
Based on Lorenz-Mie theory of scattered light analysis

Maintenance schedule for 640x
5
BiweeklyFlow checks, pressure, temperature (cannot calibrate temperature
because the engineers say they are never wrong)
MonthlyLeak check (or as needed)
Spandust check (or as needed)
6 monthsChamber cleaning-we do it every 5 or 6 spandust checks (or as needed)
AnnuallyChange DFU filter and the bypass flow inline filter (or when pump PWM
approaches 80%)

Problems/Issues with 640x
7
Flow decrease due to clogged inline filters
Clean the optics chamber due to Spandust
contamination approximately every 6 Spandust
checks-this has been more lately
Streamline Pro decreases flow of instrument during
checks so use Alicat, BGI or Streamline flow devices
If the instruments start drifting apart, clean the optics
chamber
No pump problems yet
Instrument locked up but was fixed with a firmware
