Introduction
The Thermo Scientific™ 43iQ Sulfur Dioxide (SO
2
) utilizes pulsed
fluorescence technology to measure the amount of sulphur dioxide in the
air.
The pulsing of the UV source lamp serves to increase the optical intensity
whereby a greater UV energy throughput and lower detectable SO
2
concentration are realized.
Reflective bandpass filters, as compared to commonly used transmission
filters, are less subject to photochemical degradation and more selective in
wavelength isolation. This results in both increased detection specificity
and long term stability.
The iQ Series Instrument Platform is a smart environmental monitoring
solution for ambient and source gas analysis that affords greater control
over instrument performance and data availability.
●
Distributed Measurement and Control (DMC) module design
simplifies serviceability. Each DMC module contains its own
microprocessor control enabling functional performance validation
at the module level.
●
Built-in predictive diagnostics and preventive maintenance
schedules identify problems before they occur. The iQ Series
platform sends email notifications directly to Thermo Fisher
Scientific’s world class service support team or locally identified
addressees in order to proactively communicate analyzer
performance conditions and identify spare parts needs before an
operational concern arises.
●
The iQ Series platform supports Modbus, streaming and VNC
protocols over serial and Ethernet as well as analog and digital I/O
for easy integration into most data management systems.
●
Three standard USB ports afford convenient data download
capability as well as the ability to connect additional hardware, such
as a computer keyboard or mouse.
●
The iQ Series GUI runs on a 7” color touchscreen display. The
GUI is highly flexible and can be customized to enable a tailored
iQ Series
