Calibration & Stability
For over 30 years, PP Systems has been manufacturing high quality CO2 infrared gas analyzers for customers worldwide. The EGM-5 is perfectly suited for applications that demand portability and a high degree of accuracy and control with minimal maintenance. The design of the instrument ensures an inherent calibration stability that has been confirmed by many years of experience in gas analysis technology. The EGM-5 does not require CO2 recalibration, although we do recommend periodic checks to confirm system integrity. It employs a non-dispersive, infrared measurement technique, coupled with microprocessor-based signal processing, to achieve excellent stability and specificity to CO2. Our innovative “Auto-Zero” technology ensures fast warm-up, long term stability, accuracy and analyzer calibration. It also minimizes the effects on span gas sensitivity, sample cell contamination, IR source aging, changes in detector sensitivity and electronics.
Portability
The EGM-5 is a compact, lightweight (1.5 kg) instrument that is packaged in a rugged, aluminum enclosure with a shock absorbing polyurethane base making it extremely robust and reliable under harsh environmental conditions.
Powerful Battery Technology
The EGM-5 is supplied with a very efficient, powerful and rechargeable Li-ion battery capable of providing operation in the field for up to 16 hours. The instrument can also be used with an AC power supply (included) for continuous operation from the mains in the laboratory
Touch Display
An innovative, large, touch display (EPD) features simple and intuitive system navigation and it offers excellent viewing under high sunlight.
Integral Air Sampling Pump
A miniature, long life air sampling pump is included as standard for dynamic gas sampling. The pump can easily be disabled for static measurements if required.
Data Storage
Data storage is virtually unlimited. Data is stored on a USB flash drive (memory stick) for safe storage and easy transfer of data to your PC.
