Innova 1314 Photoacoustic Multi Gas Detector
The Photoacoustic Multi-gas Detector - INNOVA 1314 is a highly accurate, reliable
and stable quantitative gas monitoring system. It uses a measurement system based
on the photoacoustic infra-red detection method, and is capable of measuring
almost any gas that absorbs infrared light.
Gas selectivity is achieved through the use of optical filters. By installing up to five
of these filters in the 1314, it can measure the concentration of up to five component
gases and water vapor in any air sample. Although the detection limit is gasdependent,
it is typically in the ppb region. The accuracy of these measurements is
ensured by the 1314's ability to compensate for temperature and pressure fluctuations,
water vapor interference and interference from other gases known to be present.
Reliability of measurement results can be ensured by regular self tests, which
the 1314 performs. By the nature of this measurement system, it requires no consumables
and very little regular maintenance, for example
- Selectively measures a wide range of gases/vapors
- Linear response over a wide dynamic range
- High stability (low drift) makes calibration only necessary one - two times a year
- Extremely reliable due to self-testing procedures
- User-friendly procedures for calibrating the monitor, presenting and analysing measurement data via the PC user-interface
- Accurate - compensates for temperature and pressure fluctuations, water vapor interference and interference from other known gases
- Extremely low-volume flushing possible
- Operates immediately - almost no warm-up time necessary
- Fits in a standard 19 inch rack and collects samples from points up to 50 meters away
- Presents measurement data both in tabular and graphic formats - up to five gas concentration and water vapor graphs displayed, simultaneously
