The Transmitter window is heated to minimise condensation, frosting and the build up of snow. 
During particularly cold operating conditions, the heating of the Transmitter window is increased 
to turbo levels. The turbo mode can be disabled if not required.
Electrical connections to the Transmitter are made via wires which run through the protective, 
exibleconduit.TherearethreeTransmitterwires,red(+24V),black(0V)andgreenIyellow

2.3    RECEIVER
The Searchline Excel Receiver collects infrared radiation from the Transmitter and performs 
measurements to enable hydrocarbon gases in the beam path to be detected.
Infrared radiation is collected by a single, silicon lens, which is common to both the sample and 
reference measurement channels. This radiation is divided by a beamsplitter and fed to two 
ltereddetectors,sampleandreference.

infrared absorption is not exhibited by the target gas. By calculating the ratio of the sample to 
reference signal it is possible to measure the quantity of gas in the beam, whilst compensating 
for the effects of rain, fog, dirt etc.
