Disadvantages of electrochemical (EC) sensors in comparison to the optical gas sensors RITTER »MultiGas«
Preventive / Protective Measures regarding the Gas to be measured
Important: Please specify the desired options when ordering
a) Additional tube connection for flushing of the casing
The gas lines inside the casing and the measuring cuvette are gas-tight by means of O-rings and other gas-tight connections. However, as with all connections, a leakage rate, however slight, cannot be ruled out. With an additional tube connection for flushing of the casing, an accumulation of the measuring gas inside the casing can be prevented.
In the case of toxic or aggressive gases, a suction line can be connected via this tube connection, which creates a under-pressure inside the housing thus preventing the gas from escaping from the casing.
In case of ignitable gases (methane, hydrogen, etc.), a pressure or suction line can be connected via this tube connection creating an over- or under-pressure inside the casing thus preventing the accumulation of an ignitable gas mixture.
Tenga en cuenta: H2S can be perceived as an unpleasant smell even in the ppb range. Even with an O-ring seal, micro-leaks can occur, which can be extracted by flushing the housing.
b) Heated and thermostatted casing
A condensation of the measuring gas inside of the sensor must be prevented. This is done in general for example by a condensation trap or gas cooler.Alternatively, the inside of the sensor casing can be heated and thermostatted at 50°C (standard). The heating not only avoids condensation inside of the sensor but ensures constant measurement results as well.
c) Particle filter
Please make sure by use of a suitable filter that no particles are carried into the sensor. These might block the small orifices of the internal fittings. It is recommended to use filters of 5 micron or smaller.

Setup
- Unpack all items carefully
- Install the data acquisition software according to the “RITTER MultiGas Software Manual”.
Don’t start the software at this point in time. - Place the sensor next to the gas source
Tenga en cuenta: A tube connection between gas source and sensors that is as short as possible allows a small dead space created by the tubing. In turn, a small dead space enables a fast response time of the sensor. - Connect the power adapter to socket “DC 24 V” at the rear side of the sensor and to mains.
- Connect the data acquisition cable to the respective socket at the rear side of the sensor and to the computer:
- USB cable to the socket “USB”
- RS232 cable to the socket “RS 232” (option )
- Connect the gas source to the gas inlet port of the sensor by using the provided tubing as follows:
- Unscrew the screw cap from the gas inlet port.
- Slide the screw cap onto the end of the tube with the thread of the screw cap facing the tube end.
- Push the tube onto the cone in the center of the gas inlet port.
- Slide the screw cap to the gas inlet port and screw it hand-tightly in place.
- Si corresponde: conecte el puerto de salida de gas del sensor a otros componentes, como bolsas de muestreo de gas, tubos de escape, etc.
- Switch-on the power switch at the front side of the sensor casing.
- Start the software and open the COM port(s) of the connected sensor module(s) according to the software manual.
The RITTER »MultiGas« Sensor is now ready for use.
Infrared Sensors
Descripción
Gas analysis based on the NDIR technique is an established method to determine the concentrations of gases in complex mixtures. The RITTER »MultiGas« sensors use new optical components for optimal analysis results: Up to 3 optical filters analyse the gas which flows through the sensor as one gas stream. The optional oxygen, pressure, and humidity sensors are in-line with the same single gas stream.
The individual internal modules are sealed by means of O-ring connections.
In order to achieve an optimum adaptation to the required measuring range, the lengths of the modular measurement cells (= cuvettes) can be implemented in the range of 5 mm (large measurement range in percentage level) up to 250 mm (small measurement range in ppm level).
Cuvettes with a length ≥ 20 mm are coated with a resistant gold layer in order to improve the reflection properties for low concentration level detection. Cuvettes used with aggressive gases are gold-coated as well.
The other internal mechanical parts are made out of aluminium, optionally out of stainless steel.
For fast response applications the measuring system delivers a stable result within t90 ≈ 3 seconds.
The entire unit can be disassembled for easy maintenance/service.

Definición de límite de detección
El límite de detección es el valor de medición más pequeño que puede obtenerse con una incertidumbre específica. Esta incertidumbre incluye la resolución, el ruido y la estabilidad del sensor de gas para un gas específico y un rango de medición específico. Para evaluar el valor del límite de detección, se realizan varias mediciones individuales en las mismas condiciones de medición. Con los resultados de las mediciones individuales obtenidas se calcula la desviación estándar "Sigma" (σ). Los valores indicados en la tabla equivalen a la triple cantidad de Sigma.

Ultraviolet Sensors
Descripción
The RITTER »MultiGas« UV sensor is the world’s first gas analysis module based on miniaturized UV-LEDs. The stability and lifetime of these UV-LEDs enables high-precision gas analyses down to the ppm range. By using two UV-LEDs two gases can be detected simultaneously. Furthermore, with this approach measuring ranges from ppm to Vol.-% can be realized.
In the spectral range from 200 nm to 500 nm, nitrogen oxides (NO + NO2), aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide, ozone, sulphur dioxide and chlorine can be reliably detected with this new sensor platform.
The entire unit can be disassembled for easy maintenance/service.
The individual internal modules are sealed by means of O-ring connections.
In order to achieve an optimum adaptation to the required measuring range, the lengths of the modular measurement cells (= cuvettes) can be implemented in the range of 5 mm (large measurement range in percentage level) up to 250 mm (small measurement range in ppm level).
Cuvettes with a length ≥ 20 mm are coated with a resistant gold layer in order to improve the reflection properties for low concentration level detection. Cuvettes used with aggressive gases are gold-coated as well.
The internal mechanical parts are made out of aluminium, optionally out of stainless steel.
For fast response applications the measuring system delivers a stable result within t90 ≈ 1-2 seconds.

Specifications H2S Sensor
The H2S sensor works according to the principle of non-dispersive UV absorption (NDUV).
The measuring wavelength used is in the lower nanometer range, which enables inter-ference-free measurements with water vapour and hydrocarbons. This makes the sensor ideal for use in biogas measurements, as accompanying gases such as NH3, CO2, CH4 and H2O do not affect the accuracy of the measurements.

Specifications UVRAS Sensor
For the detection of NO an EDL (electrodeless gas discharge lamp) is used. In the EDL, N2 and O2 are converted to NO and produce a selective UV radiation. With this radiation, a cross-sensitivity-free NO measurement is made possible. This method is called UV resonance absorption spectroscopy (UVRAS).
A combination of both the UVRAS and NDUV technology allows the simultaneous gas analysis of NO, NO2 and SO2 in the lower ppm range which is particularly important in flue gas analysis (Continuous Emission Monitoring, CEM).

Definición de límite de detección
El límite de detección es el valor de medición más pequeño que puede obtenerse con una incertidumbre específica. Esta incertidumbre incluye la resolución, el ruido y la estabilidad del sensor de gas para un gas específico y un rango de medición específico. Para evaluar el valor del límite de detección, se realizan varias mediciones individuales en las mismas condiciones de medición. Con los resultados de las mediciones individuales obtenidas se calcula la desviación estándar "Sigma" (σ). Los valores indicados en la tabla equivalen a la triple cantidad de Sigma.

8.2. Sensor de presión
Un cambio en la presión del gas provoca un cambio en el número de moléculas por volumen y, por tanto, un cambio en la densidad del gas. Este cambio de densidad tiene a su vez una influencia significativa en el resultado de la medición de la concentración por el sensor. Mediante la medición de la presión del gas dentro de la célula de muestra (cubeta), se compensa / corrige el valor de la medición de la concentración.
