Advanced Micro Instruments has developed and patented key technologies that enable our devices to
deliver the highest levels of
PERFORMANCE
,
RELIABILITY
and
EASE-OF-USE
. These technologies
are included in
THE BARRACUDA MODEL 4010LX
and cannot be replicated by any other company.
This powerful software platform comes standard with every
MODEL 4010LX
purchase and provides users with access to a full suite of advanced features, including:
– Settings & logic adjustments for 2-fully independent Alarm Relay Contacts
– Security settings to prevent unauthorized adjustments to the Analyzer via the
front panel
– Changing the analog outputs from 4 –20 mA to 1–5 VDC or vice versa
– Datalogger that records measurement readings, temperature of the Cell Block,
gas pressure, brown-outs and power voltage over a period of 15 days @1-min
intervals (data can be displayed on a graph or in tabular format)
– Error Status Display that alerts users to any error(s) detected by the Analyzer
– Communication with the Analyzer via USB Virtual COMport and Modbus
bi-directional RS485 Communication

Our patented Cell Block Technology provides the next generation of innovation
for a complete, very compact sample system that virtually eliminates all
potential leak paths while optimizing flow efficiencies. The volume and distance
the sample gas travels prior to entering the laser chamber has been
dramatically reduced.
THE BARRACUDA MODEL 4010LX
is programmed with a proprietary
measurement algorithm to carry out trace moisture measurements. Not only will
THE BARRACUDA
complete multiple scans every second for the signature
H
2
O peak and CH₄ (methane) peak, its algorithm contains a compensation
function to account for pressure and temperature. This ensures maximum
stability and accuracy regardless of the methane levels.
MEASUREMENT ALGORITHM
AND
SMART CALIBRATION
A
Smart Calibration
feature is also enabled on
THE BARRACUDA
. Over
time, laser-based Moisture Analyzers eventually see a gradual movement of
their signature peaks on the x-axis of the measurement waveform.
THE
BARRACUDA MODEL 4010LX
can easily realign the laser to the critical H
2
O
peak and CH
4
peak through the touch of a button.
All sample handling components, including the Herriott Cell, have been
machined from a series of solid compact blocks with precision-drilled
intersecting passages in place of long lengths of tubing and compression fittings.
Additionally, metering valves, pressure sensor and flowmeter are all directly
integrated into the machined blocks.
Finally, the
ELIMINATOR CELL BLOCK
features a unique liquid rejection/
particulate membrane that is sealed between cell blocks. As a result, all
liquids and particulate are effectively exhausted through the bypass without
ever reaching the optical components.
