The TM1050’s wire connection allows remote sampling events to be accurately captured within confined spaces, or in hazardous environments. Examples include manhole/sewer sampling, collection of gases near a planned release, and collection of combustion/explosion products from a safe distance. The TM1050 is powered by a simple 9V battery using a “latching” valve that requires very little power. Each 9V battery can power in excess of 100 on/off operations for reliable sample collection over extended time periods.
