Carbon analysis with the C module 5100
multi EA 5100
84
The detection module can be used to determine TC and EC/OC.
¡
TC determination can be performed in both the multi-purpose combustion tube
(standard tube) and the special EC/OC combustion tube.
¡
EC/OC determination requires the use of the EC/OC combustion tube.
Analytik Jena AG also provides special boats with hold-down clamps for EC/OC determi-
nation, with which, for example, diesel exhaust particles can be examined on quartz-
fiber filters. The use of the ABD is required in horizontal operation mode.

Communication with the basic module is performed via a 9 pin interface cable. The in-
terface is labeled "C-NDIR".
The hose for the measuring gas coming from the basic module is connected to the "sam-
ple in" gas inlet. The gas outlet is labeled "sample out". The module does not need to be
connected to the laboratory exhaust system.
