ABB guarantees transferability of methods between its instruments. Any part of the FTPA2000-260PH system can be serviced or replaced without having to modify the method and with no loss of accuracy, even the fiber optic cables and sampling systems. This is due to the ultra-high precision manufacturing methods used and the extreme stability of the laser controlled spectral encoding process. As a result, the absorbance reproducibility between units approaches the instrument repeatability on single unit.
Flexible sampling
The use of fiber optic cables permits to locate the analyzer in any general-purpose area, isolated from hazardous materials and environments, thus significantly reducing civil engineering costs. The FTPA2000-260PH makes use of this advantage to add flexibility in implementation.
The FTPA2000-260PH includes a multi-detector module and has ample throughput to simultaneously illuminate several fiber optic bundles. Signals from the detector’s module are electronically multiplexed and use non-moving parts. This provides outstanding repeatability and allows a single analyzer to continuously monitor up to eight different sampling points without suffering from the performance and reliability issues traditionally associated with opto-mechanical multiplexers.
