Model 405 nm NO2/NO/NOx Monitor

FEM-approved NO2 monitor

FEM-approved NO2 monitor

Description

FEM-approved NO2 monitor that uses the technique of direct absorption of 405 nm light by NO2 molecules. The Model 405 nm also measures NO by conversion to NO2 using ozone. The instrument provides a total measurement of NOx as the sum of NO and NO2.

  • 0-10 ppm for NO2, 0-2 ppm for NO and NOx with a precision of < 1 ppb
  • EPA certified (FEM) for NO2 compliance monitoring (EQNA-0217-243)
  • Extremely selective – No species found in ambient air has significant absorbance at the 405 nm wavelength
  • Highly selective direct measurement of NO2 by absorbance at 405 nm (FEM EQNA-0217-243)
  • Wavelength of 405 nm chosen becuase no other species found in ambient air has significant absorbance at that wavelength
  • Nitric oxide (NO) is measured by conversion to NO2 using the reaction of NO with ozone
  • Patented folded cell design achieves a path length of ~2 m, enabling a detection limit of <1 ppb
  • Ideal for applications that require precise and accurate measurement of NO and NO2, such as air quality monitoring both outdoors and indoors
  • Portable and relatively low power, making it particularly well suited for field deployments

FEATURES

  • Measurement of NO2 over the range 0-10 ppm; measurement of NO over the range 0-2 ppm
  • Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for NO2 over the ranges 0-500 ppb and 20-30°C (EQNA-0217-243)
  • Measurement frequency of once every five seconds, with selectable averaging times of 1 min, 5 min, and 1 hour
  • Three measurement modes: NO2 only; NO only; or NO, NO2, and NOx
  • SD card for virtually unlimited, portable data logging
  • Power consumption: ~16 watts after warmup
  • Long-Life pump (~15,000 hours)
  • DewLine for elimination of any water vapor interference, a unique feature of 2B Tech instruments

1An adaptive filter may be selected from the menu, making signal averaging similar to competing NOx monitors. Specifications above are for default parameters: Change Difference = 40 ppb, Change Percent = 10%, Short Filter = 4 pts (20 s), Long Filter = 36 pts (3 min). Adaptive filter parameters may be adjusted by the user.
