QAL1 approved particulate CEM which meets US EPA PS-1 requirements for Opacity monitoring from combustion stacks
Robust multi corner cube reflector provides truer reflection of transmitted light compared to traditional “mirror type” reflectors providing greater confidence in measurement
• Outstanding reliability with no continuously moving parts
• Automatic in-situ zero and span checking with built-in calibration audit and zero drift correction
• Dual light source, with patented Flood LED source provides robust check of the detectors
and minimises effects of temperature instability
