Model 300/2 Dual Non-Dispersive
Infrared Gas NDIR
Analyzer
The VIG Industries, Inc. Model 300/2 is designed to measure a two
gasses (or three with oxygen option). The Model 300/2 optical bench
consists of the IR source, sample cell, and patent pending detector.
The source control circuit provides a controlled current square wave
to the infrared source. No mechanical chopper is used so there are no
moving parts in the Model 300/2 optical bench which require
adjustment or can wear out. Infrared energy from the source passes
through the sample where energy at specific wavelengths is absorbed
by the sample. The closed sample path eliminates interfering
absorption from ambient air. The energy not absorbed in the sample
cell reaches the detector which is sensitive to the wavelengths
attenuated by the gas of interest. The patent pending Model 300/2
detector consists of two chambers in optical series with a very
sensitive transducer to measure the relative energy absorbed by each
chamber. The primary difference between the Model 300/2 detector and
other NDIR detectors is that these two signals from the primary and
secondary chamber are balanced. The balancing process greatly
improves the sensitivity and selectivity for the gas of interest.
The top line of the vacuum fluorescent display continually
monitors the concentration of the gas of interest in the selected
units, as well as the zero and span values during calibration. The
bottom line displays chart recorder range, linear or non-linear
mode, and response time. Any error or alarm condition will alternate
with this information until acknowledged by the operator. Operating
parameters are established by way of the four buttons on the Model
300/2 keyboard. The setup button is used to define settings such as
calibration gas concentration, sample cell flush time, automatic
calibration intervals, chart recorder ranges (1-4), and high and low
level alarms. The mode button is used to select active chart recorder
range, response time, linear and non-linear units, activate the
audible alarm, adjust display brightness, and initiate manual zero
and span calibrations. The arrow are used to make changes in values or
selection of desired parameters in the setup and mode functions. In
the event of a power failure, battery backup retains all
settings.
