The LAB PID is a stationary Photoionisation measuring system for permanent monitoring and measurement of a broad range of total volatile organic compounds (VOC). A hollow cathode lamp (10.6 eV) will be used as ionization source. This lamp provides a high stable light output and a guarantied life time for more than 5000 hours (typical up to 10000 hours).

• Measurement range 0…2000 ppm (ISOBUTEN equivalent)
• Digital interface RS232, RS-485
• Analog Interface 4…20mA
• 3 x Relay Outputs for signalization

The PIDS uses a hollow cathode lamp (10.6 eV) as ionization source. This lamp provides a high stable light output and a guarantied life time for more than 5000 hours ( typical up to 10000 hours ).

The digital interface provides the ability to read the readings and various status messages, as well as the calibration and configuration.

The RS485 interface increases the flexibility for use in industrial and laboratory environments.

The LabView driver makes it very easy to connect the LAB PID togeter with LabView.

Via the optional analog 4 .. 20mA, the wet compensated and linearized measured value is output in different areas.

In co-operation with its partners, ACI manufactures electrodeless discharge lamps with different gas fillings in the low-pressure range. The glass bodies with special outlet windows (Suprasil, MgF2) are located in a nickel-plated cast aluminium housing in EMC-tight design.
A gas reservoir enables an operating time of up to 20,000 hours. An internal ignition mechanism ensures reliable ignition behaviour.

The following gas fillings was offered :

• N2:O2 Gas mixture
• Mercury
