Measurements are automatically corrected for temperature and pressure.
Accuracy (CO
2
)
< 1% of span concentration over the calibrated range, but limited by the
accuracy of the calibration gas mixture.
Linearity
< 1% throughout the range.
Stability
Automatic Zero at regular intervals. It corrects for sample cell
contamination, source and detector ageing and pre-amplifier gain
changes.
Sample Pump
Integral DC pump operating at a flow rate of approximately 350 ml/min.
Pump can be disabled for static measurements on demand.
Gas Flow Rate
Through Analyzer
Minimum flow rate: 200 ml/min
Maximum flow rate: 400 ml/min
Environmental
Sensor Interface
Two inputs available for use with external sensors (humidity, temperature,
PAR, oxygen, soil respiration, canopy assimilation, etc.).
Air Filter
Filtered sample line (hydrophobic)
Calibration
Default value preset in factory (Built-in Initialization). Automatic
calibration via keypad if required.

Automatic correction for month end and leap years.
Recording
Manual (by keypress) or automatic at user selected intervals between 1
and 250 minutes.
Keypad
Custom, tactile keypad
Data Storage
512 K Battery backed RAM (1,000 records).
Response Time
Display/analog output: 1.6 seconds
Analog Output
(CO

ASCII Format
Display
High contrast 2 x 16 character LCD.
Power Supply
12 V, 2.0 Ah Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery providing up to 4 hours
continuous use or 12V NiMH rechargeable battery providing up to 8 hours
continuous use. Longer times available with external 12V battery. Battery
life may be reduced when EGM-4 is used with add-on
sensors/accessories.
Gas Connections
Two barbed fittings (inlet and exhaust) for 1/8” (.125”) ID tubing.
Housing
High impact, aluminum enclosure.
