b) Windows based program – GasEye logger for real time data acquisition,
c) remote service and diagnostics
Optional: Modbus (TCP/IP), Modbus RTU, Profinet, Profibus
Electrical Characteristics
Power input: 24 VDC nominal (19 – 30 VDC)
Power consumption: < 20VA
Additional build-in features
Automatic gain control (AGC): AGC ensures correct gas measurement even at high dust loads resulting in loss of optical transmission down to 0.5%. AGC operates fully automatic with no need for manual adjustment of the signal gain under any process conditions.
Self-calibration features: Internal reference gas compartment is used for closed loop control of the zero and span drift
