These products combine the advantages of advanced excellent PID and IR technology. The ECOPROBE 5 replaces a number of separate analysing devices with one small, compact instrument. It provides the user with the in-situ measurement of organic contaminants with selective analyses of methane, group of common petroleum hydrocarbons, CO2, O2, atmospheric pressure, sampling vacuum and soil temperature. A fully integrated automatic GPS data-logger, independent automatic monitoring station operation as well as powerful computer come with the ECOPROBE 5 as optional accessories.
The main advantages of the ECOPROBE 5 range are:
Simultaneous in-situ measurement using the time-integrated photo-ionization analyzer (PID) and 3-channel selective infra-red analyzer (Selective methane, CO2, Group of petroleum hydrocarbons, with reference channel).
Additional measurement of N2O, H2S (optional HW configuration)
Reliable Oxygen reading.
Automatic re-zeroing before each measurement ensures perfect baseline stability and high accuracy of the resulting values.
Real-time correction of measured values for soil porosity, atmospheric/pumping pressure and temperature.
Ruggedized, light-weight and compact strong construction make it ideal for use in the field.
Easy-to-read graphic display, user-friendly special operating system and data acquisition software.
Automatic Monitoring Station Mode with no additional hardware/software.
Automatic logging of all measured data.
A powerful surface data-logging system for transparent, fast 3-D graphic visualization.
Fully integrated automatic GPS position logger (up to centimeter accuracy on request)
An integral user-calibration facility provides on-site fast calibration and advanced whole dynamic range calibration.
IrDA/RS232 interface with Win XP/w2k/Vista/7/8/10/11 compatible ECOPROBE_VIEW software, providing data transfer, graphic data acquisition and data spreadsheet for 3-D graphic outputs.
Automatic date/time record for all stored data, built in adjustable acoustic alarm for all measured values.
Possible integration to the monitoring stations network
