The RX-8500 has accurate measurement over the entire range of target hydrocarbons up to 100% by volume.
Users benefit from dual auto-ranging technology that allows the instruments to automatically switch from a 0 – 100% LEL to a 0 – 100% volume range.
The RX-8500 has an internal pump that samples at 750ml per minute. The RX-8500 has a clear and intuitive digital display. The instruments are explosion and intrinsically safe and are ATEX approved.
The RX-8500 has a compact and lightweight but very robust design. They are powered by a Lithium Ion battery pack. This gives over 15 hours of continuous operation as well as being quick to charge.
The RX-8500 has additional features that include pilot and pump driving indicator, activating confirmation beep (1-minute intervals) and bump test function.
Users have IrDA communications and Password Protection available. Data logger software is available as an option.
The RX-8500 is designed specifically for Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) carriers. It has IR sensors for Methane (CH4) 0 – 100% LEL and 0 – 100% Volume (Autoranging). Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 0-20% Volume as well as an Electro-Chemical sensor for Carbon Monoxide (CO) 0-1000ppm. A Galvanic Sensor for Oxygen with a 0-40% Volume range is also included.
