CO2-Pro™ Atmosphere™
The CO2-Pro Atmosphere™ is an
optional features for the CO2-Pro™ that provides measurements of
pCO2 in water and in the Atmosphere using the same detector, which
means that any calibration offset is eliminated in the calculation
of ΔpCO2. The CO2-Pro™
has a patented, revolutionary new interface that provides an
equilibrated gas sample to the detector. Note that a source of water
flow is required at 3 to 10 litres per minute (optional Sea-Bird 5-T
pump available from Pro-Oceanus Systems Inc. or from Sea-Bird
Electronics, Inc.).
The CO2-Pro™
is factory calibrated from 0-600 ppm CO2 with calibration burned
into EPROM (other calibration ranges are available by special
order). To maintain accuracy, the detector module is equipped to
perform an automatic zero point calibration (AZPC). When the AZPC is
initiated, the gas stream is routed through a CO2 absorbent to
provide a zero ppm CO2 measurement. The CO2 zero measurement
compensates for changes in optical cell performance and is used in
determinations of ppm CO2 until a new AZPC is performed.
