ATI - Model 100X -Automated Filter Tester

Delivering Best-in-Class Performance and Low Cost of Ownership
The 100X is a highly accurate and flexible test rig for a wide range of filter media types designed to optimize production yields while delivering the lowest cost of ownership.

Automatic, Hybrid & Manual Configurations
The 100X can be configured at time of order to operate three ways:

• The Manual version is ideal for lab use or production lot testing and requires an operator to engage a test using ergonomic photo-electric actuators. Included is a manual test fixture and standard 100cm² flat sheet media fixture.
• The Automatic version integrates seamlessly with a customer designed, PLC-driven, automated production line and is ideal for 100% in-line non-destructive product testing. The unit is controlled via communication ports and becomes a client device to the automated production line.
• The Hybrid version provides the versatility to operate in manual mode using the local test fixture or can be switched to become an Automatic version in the automated production environment.

Wide Range of Aerosol Flow Rates
The 100X is capable of air flow rates between 10-170 lpm, providing flexibility to test a wide range of filter types. Integrated flow controller keeps flow rates constant leading to more accurate results. The 100X EN 13274 High Flow option provides aerosol output up to 170 lpm and can be used to test PAPR filters or to optimize production throughput by testing two or more filter cartridges at once in a fully automated production line.

Oil or Salt Aerosol Generation
The 100X is available in either an Oil (DOP, PAO, Paraffin) or Salt (NaCl) aerosol generation models. The patented Aerosol Solution Replenishment System is a separate 2-liter reservoir tank that increases productivity by eliminating the need to shut down production to refill the generator. For salt-based test systems, the replenishment system mitigates aerosol concentration and size / distribution shifts due to dynamic salinity.

Other Features include:

• LCD touch screen user interface
• USB; RS232; PLC-Controls (for Automatic, Hybrid version)

Optinal Local Exhaust
The 100X can be supplied with an optional local exhaust module to filter all aerosol exhaust when facility exhaust ducting is not available. The local exhaust module is designed with a convenient differential pressure gauge to help determine when to replace the internal HEPA filter. To extend the life of the HEPA filter, turn the 100X off or place it in standby mode when not in use. NOTE: the local exhaust is designed for use in manual mode.

• Reliable local exhaust module, ideal when facility exhaust is not available
• Convenient differential pressure gauge to help determine when to replace the internal HEPA filter

Optional Base Cabinet
A large base cabinet, convenient for storing manuals and tools is available as an option. The cabinet is equipped with heavy duty locking swivel casters enabling the 100X to be easily moved wherever you need it.

• Large 71 cm L x 69 cm W x 76 cm H (27 in. x 28 in. 30 in.) cabinet convenient for storing manuals and tools
• Large 12.7 cm (5 in.) heavy duty locking swivel casters for portability and stability

Optional Mask Test Adapter
The Mask Test Adapter enables testing of N95, KN95, and FFP-style respirator masks with the 100X. The Mask Test Adapter is an airtight fixture that securely holds the mask being tested. The adapter allows the aerosol to enter the adapter and challenge the mask according to industry standards. When the test is complete, the mask can be easily removed, and then the substrate and adapter can be cleaned and prepared for the next mask test.

• Quick, reliable and easy to use
• Sturdy, light weight and reusable

Air Pressure Regulator (included)
Included for your convenience, the Air Pressure Regulator controls the pressure in the air supply line that is delivered to the 100X. The regulator can be easily adjusted to maintain constant pressure where pressure fluctuations may occur.

• Ensures optimal test results
• Prevents damage
