Versions and ranges

Lamp Range Sensitivity Sampling
10.6 eV 0–10 ppm 0.001 ppm pumped
10.6 eV 0–50 ppm 0.01 ppm diffused and pumped
10.6 eV 0–1000 ppm 0.1 ppm diffused and pumped
10.6 eV 0–3000 ppm 1 ppm diffused and pumped
10.0 eV (TAC) 0–50 ppm 0.01 ppm diffused and pumped

Pumped models respond in under 10 seconds and sample through tubing up to 20 m long. Diffused models respond in under 30 seconds and work down to −40 °C. An 11.7 eV version with a 0–200 ppm range is also available.

Built for harsh conditions

  • Typhoon stops condensation forming inside the sensor — important outdoors and in wet climates.
  • Fence Electrode removes the effect of humidity and protects against contamination.
  • Ex d housing with two M25 cable entries, IP65.
  • Status indicator in red, amber or green, visible from 20 m even in direct sunlight.
  • Magnetic switches allow setup without opening the housing.

Integration

  • 4–20 mA analogue output;
  • RS485 Modbus;
  • two programmable relays, normally open or normally closed;
  • 8–40 V DC power, typically 2 W.

Falco 2 or Titan 2

The Falco 2 measures total VOC or total aromatics (TAC). To measure benzene specifically, without interference from other hydrocarbons, use the fixed Titan 2 monitor. For rounds, use the portable Tiger XT and Tiger XT Select.
