SEC DIR Dual Gas Analyzer
The SEC Signature DIR is a standalone dual channel optical gas analyzer designed for nonintrusive
continuous monitoring of process gases. The infrared optical system is self-compensating for
most aging, environmental, and contamination effects resulting in excellent measurement integrity. An
industry standard analog output provides gas concentration as well as unit status. The
analog output from the device can be connected to chart recorders, data acquisition systems or a
process control system.
The SEC Signature DIR measures infrared light absorption due to molecular resonances. The monitor
is tuned to the infrared signature of the target gas or vapor, measuring light at wavelengths absorbed
by the target gas and at wavelengths not absorbed by the target gas. The gas concentration is
determined by calculating the ratios of the analytical and reference levels. Embedded linearization
algorithms keep the output accurate over the entire measuring range and embedded compensation
algorithms maintain measuring accuracy over changing environmental conditions.
The SEC Signature DIR employs a reliable, directly opposed optical system. No mirrors or reflecting
surfaces are used in this device. All optical surfaces are heated to discourage measurement error due
to condensation. Rugged sapphire windows protect the optics eliminating the corrosive effects found
in many process monitoring applications.
Once the unit is spanned to a specific mid range gas concentration (a one time operation), routine
calibration consists of only rezeroing the device periodically.
