Modular sensor design
Analyse up to 4 different gases plus pressure and humidity simultaneously In order to adapt gas analysis as flexibly as possible to individual measurement tasks, the single components were designed modularly. This resulted in a »modular system« in which the various photometric components such as detectors, emitters, measuring sample cell, etc. can be assembled user-specifically.
With this sophisticated sensor design, customer-specific applications can be realized without needing a completely new development. The modularity makes replacement and maintenance considerably easier when servicing is required. In contrast to this design, common completely glued gas sensors can only be replaced as a complete unit thus generating high follow-up costs (total cost of ownership) in case of maintenance. Optionally, modules can also be equipped with a sensor for oxygen, pressure and humidity.

Definition of Detection Limit
The Detection Limit is the smallest measurement value which can be obtained with a specific uncertainty. This uncertainty includes the resolution, noise and stability of the gas sensor for a specific gas and specific measurement range. For evaluation of the detection limit value, several single measurements are taken at the identical measurement conditions. With the obtained single measurement results the standard deviation “Sigma” (σ) is calculated. The values given in the table equal the triple amount of Sigma.
