Apex - Model XC-53 -Sampling Console
The XC-53 Sampling Console from Apex Instruments is designed as a cost-effective entry level metering console for Isokinetic Sampling. The console utilizes a backlit, sunlight readable screen, an easy-to-use 4 button keypad, and sensors for measuring temperatures and pressures. The Peak 32 MCM also allows for user-adjustable dampening for stable display of the ?P and ?H values. A USB interface is used for sensor calibration and firmware updates. The console uses an internal diaphragm pump, reducing the weight of the console and pump and can be easily adapted to all isokinetic methods including (OTM)-45 for PFAS.

- Mounted case allows for easy service access
- Peak 32 microcontroller module (MCM)
The XC-53 isokinetic source sampler console allows the operator to monitor gas velocities, temperatures, pressures, sample flow rates, and volumes for maintaining isokinetic sampling conditions. The Source Sampler console is easily adapted to test for a wide range of pollutants from stationary sources, such as particulate matter including PM 2.5 and PM10 fractions, metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins/ furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and many more pollutants with adaptations of the standard Method 5 isokinetic test.
