The Model 8587A Laser Photometer determines aerosol concentration by
measuring the level of scattered light produced by aerosol particles as they
are passed through a collimated laser beam in the aerosol sensor
assembly. Scattered light is collected by a photosensitive detector, and a
voltage signal is produced. This signal, minus a small voltage offset, is
proportional to the aerosol mass concentration.
The Laser Photometer transmits signal voltage readings to the front panel
LCD display in scientific notation. Voltages can be accessed by a computer
too, connected to the RS-232 Serial or USB connectors using a
communications cable. Computer control enables automated respirator fit
and filter testing, in addition to other applications.
