portable gas analyser

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES TECHNICAL DATA SENSORS EQUIPMENT APPEARANCE

Photon is a portable analyser using the most current technological developments. It is designed to use mostly infrared sensors,
but can also be fitted with further electrochemical sensors.
The modular construction allows the instrument to be configured to suit practically any user needs.
In addition to this, it is possible to set the range of each sensor as required for the measuring system.
The analyser also has a plenty of analogue inputs and outputs to ensure ease of data transfer in both directions and
documentation of all results.
The analyser can thus also be used for various control operations.

2.5m RS-232C communication cable with DB9 female connector

Software CD with program and manuals

Quick coupling for the probe holder (3pc)

Ambient temperature sensor with 300mm cable

This NTC2k7 temperature sensor with a 300mm cable is used for measuring the ambient air
temperature. It helps to set the optimal target temperature for Photons thermal stabilization.
The sensor is connected to the Temp. Aux socket (in some units the socket is without label). The
head of NTC2k7 sensor is installed in analyser's lid. For calculations, where ambient
temperature is required, Photon uses readings from PT500 3m sensor (boiler's inlet air
temperature sensor). In case of absence of this PT500 sensor, readings from NTC2k7 are being
used.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
NECESSARY FOR THE ANALYSER TO WORK

PGD 100 gas conditioner

PGD-100 is a powerful gas conditioner preparing gas sample for the co-operating analyser by
removing dust, salts particles and condensate, so the sample is dry and clean.
Using gas conditioner is essential in case of majority measurements with gas analysers.
Photon communicates with, and controls PGD-100 dryer via 2.5m electric cable. Gas sample is
delivered via 2.5m Tygon tube.

Heated hose
Heated hose with heated gas filter supplies gas sample to the analyser’s conditioning module.
Thanks to the heaters that coil the tube and thermal insulation of the hose, the gas in its inside is
protected against uncontrolled water condensation. The hose has M30x1 threaded connection
to fix gas probe pipe. The other end has magnetic quick-coupler and electric connector to
connect it with analyser.
Standard length of hose is 3m, it is possible to order other lengths of hoses.
Hose is provided with a carrying bag and filter inlet (glass fibre 70 µm. pores).

 CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES TECHNICAL DATA SENSORS EQUIPMENT APPEARANCE

Gas probe pipe

Gas probe is immersed in the gas duct and is supposed to extract the gas sample and to measure
its temperature.
Exchangeable probes are easily connected to probe holders (with M30x1 fastening) and to
heated hoses. They have thermocouple type K (in some configurations type S) for measurement
of gas temperature and a threaded fixing cone.
There are many probe pipes available. They differ in length and working temperature.
For work efficiency it is advised to own different probe pipes to be able to adjust to the
measurement place.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT & SPARE PARTS

Boiler’s inlet air temperature sensor

Ambient air temperature (or rather boiler’s intake air temperature) is a parameter used for
calculation of many combustion parameters.This PT500 temperature sensor on a 3m cable is
used for measurement of the aforesaid temperature. It is optional equipment. The sensor has to
be connected to the Temp. Amb. socket. If this sensor is not connected Photon assumes the
boiler’s inlet air temperature to be equal to the temperature measured with the NTC2k7 sensor
installed in the device’s lid.
ordering code:
Z40P-SENS-TEMP
Pitot tube
Pitot tube is an accessory that allows to perform measurement of the flow velocity of the gas
stream.The measurement is performed indirectly – Pitot tube is connected to analyser’s
differential pressure sensor. Analyser recalculates the differential pressure on the Pitot tube’s
outlets to velocity.
A few length of tubes are available. Pitot tube has 2m gas tubings to connect it with the analyser.

ordering codes:
pitot tube 800mm - Z00-PITOT-8002
pitot tube 500mm - Z00-PITOT-5002
Analogue outputs module
Optional module with 8 current and 8 voltage galvanically separated outputs. Installed into the
device’s lid. Connected to the USB Photon socket.

Analogue inputs module
Optional module with 8 current and 8 voltage galvanically separated inputs. Installed into the

Martel portable printer with USB cable
Photon can be equipped with portable printer - Martel MCP8810 with RS232C communication
protocol (converted to USB port). Small, portable, battery operated printer. Must be connected
to Photon USB socket.
