Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) 2- Gas Analyzer - CO2/O2 +CAT
The Model 900151 gas analyzer is used to measure the Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide level in a Controlled Atmosphere Transport (CAT) shipping container. The analyzer is fully wash-down protected and is housed in a very compact NEMA-4 case, measuring only 6 ¼ L x 3W x 3 ½ H and weighing 2.5 lbs. The analyzer is fully sealed against the environment and protects the internal electronics from water and dirt intrusion, allowing the analyzer to be washed down with water after use. It also contains an internal NiMH battery pack that will operate the unit on a standalone basis for up to 6 hours. The analyzer is controlled by an internal microprocessor, and uses time-proven NDIR technology for CO2 measurement and a rugged chemical sensor for O2 analysis. All operating controls are by means of a sealed membrane switch . and the analyzer consumes a mere 2 ½ Watts during operation. (A detailed specification is included at the end of this description.) Gas is sampled from the container by means of the
