Adjusting the Particle Generator Output
The Model 8026 is set in the factory to a normal operating pressure.
This will produce an aerosol output concentration that is
appropriate for most environments. If higher counts are needed, you
can increase the output by turning the output adjustment screw 1/2
turn clockwise. If necessary, you can adjust the output further by
making additional turns of the output adjustment screw. See Figure
2-3.
Figure 2-3
To restore the output to the factory setting, turn the screw
completely clockwise to maximize the aerosol flow. Then, make
three (3) complete counterclockwise turns. The screw should turn
easily. Do not force it.
Alternate Uses for the Particle Generator
The Model 8026 Particle Generator may be used as a generalized
source of poly-disperse particles in an environment. When used for
other applications, the following precautions must be observed:
• The output of the generator may be directed to a specific
location by attaching a short ¼” ID tube to the output located
on the top.
• The tubing must be kept as short as possible, no longer than
24”. The tubing creates a pressure drop which will severely
limit the generator output.
• The adjustment screw may be used to increase the generator
output to the maximum to compensate for the particle loss.
