Hey guys, Mick from Specto Technology here. Today I’m going to show you how to do a leak check on your Dust Sentry Pro. Remove the TSP head off of the monitor. Connect the vacuum gauge on the top (push connect). Grab the purge tubing and pinch it. When you pinch it, you’ll see that you get a vacuum in the system. We’re creating a vacuum so that we can see if there’s a leak. Turn the monitor off and now look at the vacuum gauge. If the vacuum gauge…

Hey guys. Mick from Specto here. Today I’m going to show you how to adjust the flow rate on your Aeroqual Dust Sentry Pro. Checking the Flow Rate We’re going to be using a rotameter, or a flow meter, which shows you the flow rate in liters per minute. The flow rate for a Dust Sentry Pro is one liter per minute. Turn the unit on. Remove the TSP head. We have a push connect, so you just want to push that down on top of the inlet until you hear a…

Hey guys, Mick from Specto Technology here. Today, I’m going to show you how to calibrate a VOC module in the Aeroqual AQS1 monitor. So, what we’re going to do is take you through how to connect the gas cylinders up to the monitor, and then take you through the software and how you actually update the calibration curve on Aeroqual Cloud. Service Kit So, the first thing we’re going to do is just show you the hardware that we’re using here. So, this is in your service kit. This is a flow regulator at 0.1 liters per minute, a hundred milliliters per minute. Then you have some tubing. This is Teflon tubing. It doesn’t absorb any contaminants. So, it’s clean…

Today, we’re going to have a look at how to calibrate your BSWA sound level meter integrated in your Aeroqual unit. 1. First, lift up your unit and then press the pause button. You should see the pause icon in the corner. 2. Once you’re on pause, press menu, navigate down to calibration, and hit enter. (We’re doing this upside down because that’s the way that the cable comes out of the box.) 3. Hit play/pause to start the calibration. Next, we’ll get our microphone ready. We will need our sound level calibrator for this. Our microphone is mounted on the tripod….

In the first part of this 6-blog series, we introduced Instantel’s white paper (Limitations of MEMS Accelerometers for Vibration Monitoring Systems) that presented research comparing current Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Accelerometers against traditional solenoid geophone sensors. The paper concluded that, when it comes to vibration monitoring for industrial, construction and blasting applications, data from MEMS Accelerometers

Monitoring vibrations at construction, mining and blasting sites is crucial to prevent damage to property and structures, and to comply with local, state and federal regulations. When it comes to the equipment used to measure the vibrations created by these activities, users have several options from which to choose.  Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Accelerometers While traditional
