General
The company Analytical Control Instruments GmbH (hereinafter the 'manufacturer') provides with the PIM
CPN module (hereinafter the 'module') a complete photoionization detector as an OEM module.
The module detects volatile organic compounds (VOC) with an ionization potential < 10.6 eV in air.
The ionization source is a high performance vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) hollow cathode lamp with an energy of
10.6 eV. With its ceramic discharge channel, the stability is improved and a longer service life of up to 15 000
hours and more will be achieved.
With its built-in electronics and microcontroller as well as a combined humidity/temperature sensor, it
provides a flexible and easy to use adaptation into your measurement system. The module comes with a
built-in linearization and temperature/humidity compensation. Built-in barometric pressure sensors offers
later compensation and gas flow monitoring.
