The 8866 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer Sensor Assembly can be conduct heat away from their respective thermistors to the cell wall,
supplied in a general purpose or explosion-proof housing. Both types which is held at a constant temperature. The reference gas chamber,
of housing are rugged cast aluminum construction which allows with inlet and outlet openings drilled into the chamber from the base,
reliable operation under adverse ambient conditions. The Cell Block may be open or sealed. All zero-ended ranges and suppressed H2

Standard M702 Control Unit

Description
Powerful microprocessor-based system (keyboard configurable) allowing selection of
range, type of alarms, set point and it can receive 3 analogical input signals (2 of them
can be used for cross sensitivity compensation or special functions. On request, a system
to perform zero and/or full scale autocalibration can be provided. Optional RS232C output
can directly drive a printer with selectable timing and baud rate. Isolated current output is
standard. The unit can be housed in a compact Noryl DIN case for panel mounting
(standard), in a IP 65 case with clear front door for wall mounting or in explosion proof
housing for mounting in classified area.

Display
It provides a continuous readout indication of the requested variable in engineering units
(ex. %), of alarms set point and alarms condition.

A5150800

Single or dual alarm

A single alarm (high or low) or dual alarms (one high and one low, two
high or two low) can be provided as option. Each alarm consists of: 1)
a keyboard configurable alarm threshold; 2) a LED, which is lit when
an alarm is detected; 3) a relay contact that can be used to actuate an
external signal or to start a shutdown process device.

Auxiliary functions
Other options with diagnostic and faulty calibration contacts are
available (contact Adev technical office).

Background compensation
If interfering gases are present in the background, it’s possible to
Standard Control Unit dimensions compensate their effects on the analysed gas measurement
A5103600 (automatically through the 2 auxiliary inputs from the relative
analysers, or manually setting up their average value into control unit).
The error can be ignored when interfering gases are present in low
percentage.
