TARGAS-1 Operation Manual V. 1.02 18 support@ppsystems.com
• Measurement Repeatability < 1%
• Long Term Drift: < 2% per year
• Cable Length: 5 meters
An optional leveling unit (ACS039) is also available for use with the quantum sensor. We highly
recommend that you mount the sensor on a horizontal surface and that it is level for best results. To
minimize azimuth error, the sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing toward true north in the
northern hemisphere or true south in the southern hemisphere. Azimuth error is typically less than 1%,
but is easy to minimize by proper cable orientation. This sensor connects to Probe Port 1 only.
We recommend recalibration of the quantum sensor every 2 years.
TRP-3 Temperature/PAR Probe
An optional probe can be used with the TARGAS-1 for measurement of temperature and PAR. It consists
of a rugged, aluminum housing with black foam cover. It also includes a standard tripod thread mount for
use with commercially available tripods. The single gas connection for this probe is made to the “Gas In”
port on the TARGAS-1. This sensor can be used on Probe Port 1 or 2.

We recommend recalibration of the PAR sensor every 2 years. The temperature sensor should
not require recalibration.
SRC-2 Soil Respiration Chamber
Our SRC-2 Soil Respiration Chamber is available for use with the
TARGAS-1 for measurement of closed system, soil CO
2
efflux. There are
two gas connections required, one to the GAS IN port, and the other to the
GAS OUT port on the TARGAS-1. It is constructed out of rugged PVC
with a convenient handle for placement on the soil surface. An aluminum
ring provides a good seal on the soil surface or on collars.
