1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description Figure 1. The Aethalometer® Model 633. The Model 633 represents the “Next Generation” version of the real‐time Aethalometer rack‐ mount instrument to measure Black Carbon (BC) particles in air. Please refer to the original Magee Scientific Aethalometer manual for a full description and background information on the method (http://mageesci.com/images/stories/docs/Aethalometer_book_2005.07.03.pdf).
Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation The Model 633 Aethalometer has been developed with input from the research and monitoring communities, and is designed for reliable operation under all conditions ranging from state‐of‐the‐art research to compliance monitoring.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual The ‘spot loading effect’ is a variable phenomenon which appears as a gradual reduction of instrumental response as the aerosol deposit density of the filter tape increases from zero to the predetermined limit of ‘Maximum Attenuation’ (Gundel 1984, Weingartner 2003, Arnott 2005, Virkkula 2007, Kanaya 2008).
Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Figure 2. Aethalometer data sorted and averaged according to loading (attenuation, ATN) on spot – roadside location in London, UK (top); urban site in Boston (Roxbury), USA (bottom). The London data show a systematic reduction at increasing loadings; while the Boston data do not.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual It is clear that the effect, when present, is linear with loading (‘ATN’). This can be represented as: BC (reported) = BC (zero loading) * { 1 ‐ k • ATN } where BC (zero loading) is the desired ambient BC value that would be obtained in the absence of any loading effect; and k is the ‘loading compensation parameter’ (similar to Virkkula, 2007).

Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation 1.1.4 Modular Construction The Model 633 Aethalometer is constructed with a modular design, so that sub‐units may be easily serviced. The only item requiring attention in routine use is cleaning of the optical insert to remove accumulated dust or other contamination which may be brought in with the sample air stream.

Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation 1.3 Functional Description The Model 633 features modular design and is composed of several subsystems which are so interconnected that most simple and safe handling of the instrument is possible. Presented here are a functional block diagram followed by a flow diagram. Figure 5.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual ENCLOSURE The Model 633 enclosure is very robust and made from sheet metal. The enclosure mechanically protects the delicate inner measurement parts. The dimensions of the enclosure meet the rack mount standard for the instrumentation. POWER SUPPLY The power supply module is composed of the mains inlet, the power supply electronics and the cooling fan.
Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation ETHERNET CONNECTOR The Ethernet connector allows the connection of the Model 633 measurement system to Ethernet based communication networks. COM1, COM2, COM3 CONNECTORS The COM connectors allow the connection of the system to RS232 based devices, like external sensors or dataloggers.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual FLOWMETERS Two flow meters measure the airflow in different points in the system. One of them is used also in the air flow regulation loop. SOLENOID VALVES Three solenoid valves are used to switch the airflow through different airflow paths when the instrument is set in different operating modes like measure, tape advance or similar.
Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation LIGHT SOURCE The light source integrates groups of LEDs of different light wavelengths. It is one of the main parts of the system. DETECTOR The detector detects what amount of light passes through the measurement tape. A special algorithm is used to calculate the black carbon concentration using the information from the detector and the flow meter.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual ON/OFF SWITCH The secondary ON/OFF switch is located behind the front door. It is electrically connected in series with the primary ON/OFF switch, which is located at the back of the instrument, next to the mains inlet. (Both switches must be set to ON to power up the instrument, but either one can be set to OFF to power down the instrument).

Thread the supplied fitting onto the Sample Inlet port on the rear panel of the Aethalometer (Figure 7, top). Use Teflon tape on the thread. 2. Fit the supplied barbed connector into the end of the black conductive sample tubing (Figure 7, left). 3.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual inverted so rain cannot enter. A funnel on the sampling end of the inverted sample line tubing with the opening covered by a mesh screen is recommended. Alternatively, the optional insect screen can be installed near the sampling end of the tubing. The inlet should be unobstructed, securely fixed and placed at an appropriate distance from the roof or walls of the station.

5 MAINTENANCE and SERVICE The Aethalometer needs to be maintained regularly. We recommend the following schedule for regular maintainance. Item Frequency Sample inlet flow Monthly Inspect the sample line tubing Monthly Inspect and clean the size selective inlet (if present) Monthly Clean cyclone (5.1 Cleaning the cyclone) Weekly at first to gauge debris accumulation, then adjust as needed. Verify time and date (if not set to update automatically) Monthly (Time & Date in OPERATION>GENERAL page).
Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation 5.1 Cleaning the cyclone Remove the cyclone and disassemble (shown in the following instructions), cleaning the various parts thoroughly. The recommended cleaning method is immersion in an ultrasonic cleaner with water and mild soap. However, wiping with a water‐dampened and lint‐free cloth is sufficient. IMPORTANT: Protracted soaking in soap/caustic solutions will damage the aluminum components.
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer® Black Carbon Monitor User Manual 3. Loosen the three set screws that hold the inlet body in place. 4. Remove inlet body. 5. Remove dust cup. 6. Illustration shows inlet cover, inlet body and dust cup removed.
