Flow influence Flow rate in the 20 to 90 l/h range: within the detection limit
Associated gas effect /
cross sensitivity
The knowledge of the sample gas composition is necessary for the analyzer
configuration. Selectivity measures to reduce associated gas effect (option-
al): Internal electronic cross-sensitivity correction or carrier gas correction
for a sample component by other sample components measured with the
Limas21 HW
Temperature influence Ambient temperature in permissible range, sample cell thermostat control to
+82 °C;
at zero point: ≤ 2 % of span per 10 °C,
on sensitivity: ≤ 2 % of measured value per 10 °C
Air pressure effect At zero point: no influence effect
On sensitivity with pressure correction with an integral pressure sen-
sor:
≤ 0.2 % of the measured value per 1 % air pressure change
The connection of the pressure sensor is led to the outside. Pressure sensor
