Maintaining measurement accuracy is essential, and the analyser suggests a calibration interval of every 6 months. This period may vary according to environmental conditions.
Display and Information
The backlit LCD screen offers a user-friendly interface, displaying crucial information such as measured component, concentration (instantaneous value, average, corrected instantaneous O2 value, corrected average O2 value), and alerts.
Weight, dimensions and protection class
The analyser has been designed with ease of installation in mind. The weight of the receiver and transmitter is around 10 kg each, while the controller weighs around 8 kg. The various dimensions (receiver, transmitter and controller) allow flexibility in placement. What's more, the IP65 rating underlines the robustness of the device, protecting it from the elements.
Exceptional Performance
The performance of this in-situ laser analyser is underlined by its fast response, high repeatability, and ability to maintain long-term accuracy. With features such as minimal zero drift and resistance to interference, it is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
Rapid Response for Real-Time Monitoring
The response speed of theanalyser laser is impressive, reaching a time of less than or equal to 4 seconds, and even faster, ≤ 2 seconds, for the high-speed version. This ability to deliver near-instantaneous results enables real-time monitoring, essential in dynamic industrial environments.
Repeatability and linearity
The analyser maintains exceptional repeatability, limited to ≤ ±1.0% of range, depending on components and measurement scales. This feature is essential to guarantee consistent results. In the case of combined CO + O2 measurement, accuracy is maintained at ±2% of full scale.
Linearity, another crucial quality, also remains outstanding, with a tolerance ≤ ±1.0% of full scale, depending on components and scales. For CO + O2 measurement, linearity remains excellent, with an accuracy of ±3% of full scale.
Zero drift and the effect of interference
Theanalyser laser offers exceptional stability with zero drift limited to ≤ ±2.0% of full scale over a period of 6 months, depending on the component and measurement scale. CO + O2 measurement maintains even more impressive accuracy, with drift limited to ±4% of full scale over the same period.
The effect of interference is minimized, with a maximum variation of ≤ ±2.0% of full scale. This ability to resist interference contributes to the reliability of results in complex environments.
Detection limit
The in-situ laser analyser also excels in terms of sensitivity, with a remarkable detection limit of no more than 1% of the minimum scale. This ability to detect very low concentrations is essential for accurate monitoring, even in conditions where gas levels are minimal.
Input/output signals
Analog outputs for maximum flexibility
The analyser offers analog outputs, with a signal range of 4-20 mAdc or 1-5 Vdc, with a choice of 2 or 4 points. These outputs enable transmission of the measured value as well as the corrected oxygen (O2) value. In addition, flexibility is maximized by the ability to switch between instantaneous and average values, offering greater adaptability to specific monitoring needs.
Analog inputs for precise correction and compensation
The analog inputs of theanalyser laser are essential for accurate correction and compensation of measurements. Key parameters such as sample gas pressure, temperature, flow velocity, O2 content, water concentration and air purge pressure are integrated via 2-point 4-20 mAcc signals. These inputs play a crucial role in measurement adjustment, ensuring maximum accuracy even under variable conditions.
Digital outputs for sophisticated control
Digital outputs enhance the control capabilities of theanalyser with a 6-point relay contact output. These outputs enable management of low light transmission, high and low limit alarms,analyser faults, calibration processes in progress or measurement hold, power failure, and installation faults. This versatility offers sophisticated control for proactive monitoring.
Digital inputs for remote control (Optional)
As an option, theanalyser can be equipped with digital inputs via a 3-point photocoupler. These inputs enable advanced functions such as resetting the average value to zero, alternating between instantaneous and sliding average values, and holding the measurement remotely. This option adds an extra dimension to remote device management.
Installation environment
Extended ambient temperature for maximum adaptability
The analyser is designed to operate over a wide range of ambient temperatures, ensuring reliability in diverse industrial environments. The receiver and transmitter can operate in conditions ranging from -20 to +55°C, while the controller is suitable for temperatures from -5 to +45°C. This extended range means it can be used in applications where temperature variations are unavoidable.
Humidity Control to Preserve Measurement Accuracy
Humidity management is crucial to maintaining measurement accuracy. The device is designed to operate in conditions where ambient humidity does not exceed 90% RH (relative humidity). This ensures that measurements remain stable and reliable even in potentially humid industrial environments.
