1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide Analyser uses Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectrophotometry
(NDIR) technology to measure CO in ambient air, in the range of 0 - 200 ppm.
The U.S. EPA has designated the Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide Analyser as a reference method and TÜV
has designated it as an EN approved instrument.
This section will describe the specifications of the instrument as well as the main components and
techniques used to obtain stable gas concentration readings.
