The AcuPro analyzer was built on a robust and well-proven industrial analyzer platform. Its unique sample delivery system is heated, mirrorless, and free of moving parts which means it is specifically designed to handle a wide variety of process monitoring environments. In addition, the multiple wavelength infrared detector allows the AcuPro to operate with linearity and with common response factors while minimizing the need to continually recalibrate for different solvents. All this is accomplished without compromising safety, and in accordance with NFPA guidelines, not to mention with low maintenance and minimal downtime.

Built for Your Process

Unlike other IR detectors the AcuPro was specifically designed for the process environment. Its sample delivery system is heated to 60C and uses compressed air to draw in the sample with an aspirator, which provides a controlled sample for accurate readings. It is a complete system with no need for add-ons or accessories. It has no moving parts so it requires little maintenance. It is also immune to poisoning and requires no oxygen for operation.

Low maintenance features enhance accuracy

The Acupro's mirrorless design reduces the effects of contamination on the optical cell and eliminates surfaces that fog, become dirty, and need to focus. All sample-wetted parts are heated, including the detector assembly, the optical cell, and sample probe, which prevent errors from process temperature changes and condensation of water vapor. The air-aspirated sample draw system eliminates the need for failure-prone pumps.

Superior response time

The AcuPro has a fast response time; the entire system is less than 4 seconds, due to its advanced signal processing and proprietary detector technology.

Multiple Wavelengths detect a broad range of solvents & gases

Different chemical families absorb infrared energy at different wavelengths. The AcuPro's multi-wavelength detector enables it to detect more gases, including solvents like Alcohols, Acetates, Ketone and Aromatics. This unique design element also provides more precise readings, as they cover more of the infrared spectrum and detect the most suitable wavelength for each gas or solvent.

Response factors with minimum variation

A typical infrared sensor with just one active wavelength has large errors in its response to different gases. Using multiple wavelengths, the AcuPro is like several sensors in one working together to reduce these errors as much as possible, while providing more complete and balanced readings.

Outputs provide unmatched reliability

The AcuPro incorporates 6 built-in relays to ensure that corrective action is initiated directly by the analyzer, enabling failsafe conditions. These system relays include warning, danger, fault, horn, calibration-in-progress and service needed. Other standard outputs include a 4-20mA analog output and an RS-485 serial port with Modbus protocol for digital access to all readings and settings.

Highly effective for select process applications

The AcuPro is excellent for flammable gas monitoring in relatively clean, low temperature, low concentration applications. It's suitable for single or select solvent ranges. Applications include Flexographic & Rotogravure Printing, Pharmaceutical, Coating, Painting Aerosol Filling and many more.

If your process uses higher temperatures and concentrations or if your solvent mixture might change in the future we offer the proven PrevEX Flammability Analyzers.
