Specification

Main Console

Analysis Method	Two non-dispersive infrared gas analyzers, configured as an absolute absorptiometer with microprocessor control of linearization for both CO2 and H2O. All readings are automatically corrected for temperature, pressure and foreign gas broadening.
CO2 Range	0 – 10000 µmol mol-1 Precision: 1 µmol mol-1
H2O Range	0 – 75 mb
Pressure Compensation Range	80 – 115 kPa
Absolute Accuracy	< 1% of span concentration over the calibrated range but limited by the accuracy of the calibration mixture
Differential Accuracy	+/- 1 umol mol-1 for CO2 differential up to 50 µmol mol-1
Linearity	< 1% throughout the range
Stability	Auto-Zero at regular intervals corrects for sample cell contamination, source and detector aging and changes in electronics.
