Microstream CO
2
module
Flow 50 mL/min (accuracy: -7.5 mL/min +15 mL/min)
Initialization time
30 s (typical), reaching ±5% of the accuracy in stable state within 3
minutes
Rise time <190 ms(10 to 90%)
Delay time 2.7 s (typical)
System total
response time
2.9 s (typical), including rise time and delay time
Calibration cycle
Calibrate the module for the first time after it has worked for 1200 hours
and thencalibrate once per year afterwards. Or, calibrate the module after it
has worked for 4000 hours. (whichever is longer)
