Description
The APMA-370 ambient air analyser measures CO using a combination of cross flow
modulation and the non-dispersive infrared absorption (NDIR) principle and allows continuous
measurement.
The APMA-370 uses a solenoid valve to alternately inject fixed amounts of sample and
reference gas into the measurement cell. If the same gas is used for both sample and
reference gas (e.g. zero gas) no modulation signal is generated. This allows the measurement
of low levels of the sample without zero drift. The cross flow technique reduces the number of
components in the system and improves stability and reliability.
The analyser also has internal data storage capacity for three different mean value periods.
