RAPIDOX 3100Z
Gas analysis with independent temperature input
Precision analysis of up to three gases for process, research and laboratory work.
Precision analysis for one to three gases
The Rapidox 3100Z range comprises single-, dualand triple-gas bench analysers aimed at process, research and development work, widely used by universities and research institutes. Typical configurations combine oxygen with one or two further gases; measurable gases include O2, CO2, CO, H2, H2O, C2H4, Cl2, CH4, N2O, NO, NH3, SO2 and O3, with the oxygen channel served by a zirconia sensor (10E-20 ppm to 30 %, ±1 % accuracy).
The test-gas flow is adjusted with the flow gauge and needle valve on the front panel. An optional long-life pump draws the sample at a user-set rate of 0-1 L/min, and can be switched off to operate under flowing gas conditions. A type K thermocouple input measures temperature independently up to 1,250 °C, displayed and logged simultaneously with the gas analysis.
All models include four fully programmable alarm circuits (volt-free contacts), programmable analogue outputs per sensor, easy calibration with user-selectable gases, RS232/RS485 Modbus RTU communications and complete data-logging software. The instrument complies with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carries UL/ETL certification UL-61010-1.
