Range Warning: Analyzer displays Out of Range Warning Message when instrument
in being used outside of its standard operating temperature range. Either above
38°C or below 7°C.
Out of
Calibration Range Warning: Analyzer displays “Too High” or “Too
Low” message
when measurement reading is out of the instruments calibration range.
Bad Curve
Warning: Analyzer warns user when light protective lid is not on during
testing. External light source will greatly disrupt results.
Description
Measures
octane number via near-infrared (NIR) transmission spectroscopy utilizing 14
near-infrared emitting diodes with narrow bandpass filters, a silicon detector
system, and a fully integrated microprocessor. Simple octane number
determination requires three easy steps: sampling a background signal,
acquiring two absorption spectra of the gas sample, and then acquiring a second
background signal. Analyzer is pre-calibrated for unleaded gasoline and ethanol-blended
fuels, and can be calibrated for up to eight additional fuel types. The
analyzer is small, lightweight, and operates on "AA" batteries or AC.
Before each reading, the unit standardizes itself to assure accuracy. The
octane number is printed with time and date on the built-in printer. All data
can be downloaded via the RS232 port to an external computer.
