CPM: Continuous Particulate Measurement

The SEMTECH CPM is a real-time PM measurement system that meets the requirements of both US EPA CFR 40 part 1065 and EU ECE Reg. 49.

Features 1065 and EU ECE Reg. 49 compliant: The SEMTECH CPM meets the preliminary requirements for US EPA Part 1065 and EU ECE Reg. 49 compliance requirements for in-use testing, when integrated with SEMTECH MPS and PFS. PM Mass or Number: The module may be calibrated to accurately measure either particle mass or number. Flow-through transducer design: The CPM is designed to extract a diluted aerosol sample from either a third party diluter, the MPS or a CVS sampling system. This results in improved performance (humidity effects, pulsation effects, etc.) and greatly reduces service intervals. Protection from contamination while not in operation: The CPM module is configured with a zero air solenoid to enable real-time zeroing as well as providing a stand-by feature. Power supply monitoring: Power can be either 12 VDC, 110 VAC or 220 VAC, with both current and voltage monitoring. Weatherproof construction: All components meet IP54 (NEMA standards). Shock Resistance: The mechanical design has been optimized for resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring data acquisition in the most harsh environments. Design Details: Over a decade of experience in in-use emissions testing has gone into the design details of the SEMTECH ECOSTAR system, including: EMI protection, including gaskets, filters Stress relief for pneumatic connections Channels for cable management Standard Swagelok™ bulkhead connectors Rugged Deutsch connectors for power and auxiliary connectors Handles that lock to other SEMTECH ECOSTAR modules for stable system integration

Sensors’ SEMTECH CPM utilizes an ion mobility technique (based on the Pegasor® PPS-M) whereby clean air is ionized and mixed with the sample, charging the particles. As charged particles exit the sensor (Faraday cup) their charge is measured with a sensitive electrometer. Accordingly, the SEMTECH CPM is a real-time PM measurement system that can be configured to measure either PM Mass or PM Number concentrations. The module can be employed as a standalone analyzer, or integrated with the SEMTECH MPS and PFS to provide a complete SEMTECH PM measurement solution for both real-world or laboratory applications.
