TSI SidePak AM520 - What are the Features and Benefits?

The need for a portable, wearable aerosol monitor is especially prevalent in the foundry and petrochemical industries. Equally, anyone working in - or running teams working in - construction, confined space work, needs a monitor that will accurately monitor inhalable particles.

With that in mind, this Frontline Safety guide will focus on the features and benefits of owning the SidePak AM520 personal aerosol monitor from TSI.

TSI SidePak AM520 Personal Aerosol Monitor - What Are the Features?

A key feature of the SidePak AM520 is its real-time mass concentration measurement and data logging. This provides "in-the-field" analysis of the air you're breathing. And the real-time measurements also apply to battery life. Rather than simply showing you the percentage of battery charge left in the device, the screen shows you exactly how long the battery has left to run.

TSI has packaged the AM520 so you have everything you need to get started with real-time
monitoring, there’s no need to try and figure out what accessories you have to purchase with
the monitor. Everything you have will be included in the one kit. Watch our unboxing video to get an idea of the level of accessories the AM520 comes with.

It measures particulates classed as PM10, PM 4 (which is respirable dust), PM 2.5, PM 1
and diesel particulate matter. The smaller the PM class of particulates, the more damage it can do to your health.

Operation of the AM520 is simple, clean and easy. Push-button controls give you full access to the menus and features and user-selectable alarm levels. And the newly designed robust impactors enable reliable size fraction measurements at higher aerosol concentrations over longer run times.

And, as mentioned above, it comes with everything you need to get started right away. Simply charge up the battery, and you're ready to go. It's even fully programmable with TSI's TrakPro™ v5 Software.
