PID-AH Photo Ionisation Detector Technical Specification Figure 1 PID-AH Schematic Diagram Notes: 1. Do not obstruct Ø3.5 sensing area 2. Seal between Ø6.2 and Ø9.0 (if different to atmosphere) 3. Pin out details: Pin 1: + V supply (See note 5) Pin 2: Signal output Pin 3: 0V supply 4. All dimensions ±0.1mm unless otherwise stated PERFORMANCE Target gases Minimum detection level Linear range Overrange Sensitivity Full stabilisation time Warm up time Offset voltage Response time (t90) US patent 7,046,012 US patent 7,821,270 EU patent 1474681 Other patents 5. Input voltage selector hole: a) When filled with solder the onboard regulator is disabled. A regulated supply of 3.0 - 3.6V (typically 3.3V) is then required. b) When not filled with solder the onboard regulator is enabled. A regulated or unregulated supply between 3.6 - 10 V is then required for IS applications, or up to 18 V for non-IS applications. Nomally shipped with regulator enabled. VOCs with ionisation potentials < 10.6 eV (ppb isobutylene) (ppm isobutylene) (3% deviation) (ppm isobutylene) (linear range) (mV / ppm Isobutylene) (minutes to 20 ppb) (seconds) time to full operation (mV variable between detectors) (seconds) diffusion mode ELECTRICAL Power consumption Supply voltage Output signal 110 mW (typical) at 3.3 V, 300 mW transient for 200 msec on switch-on 3.0 to 3.6 VDC Ideally regulated ±0.01V (onboard regulator disabled) 3.6 to 10 VDC (onboard regulator enabled) (maximum 10V for IS approval, maximum 18 V for non-IS) Offset voltage (minimum 50 mV) to Vmax (Vmax = Vsupply -0.1 V when regulator is enabled) ENVIRONMENTAL Temperature range Temperature dependence Relative humidity range Humidity sensitivity -40ºC to +55ºC (Intrinsically Safe); -40ºC to +65ºC (non-IS) 0°C to 40°C 90% to 100% of signal at 20°C -20°C 140% of signal at 20°C Non-condensing During operations: 0% to 75% rh transient KEY SPECIFICATIONS Operating life IS Approval Onboard filter Lamp Electrode stack Error state signal Package type Weight Position sensitivity Warranty period 5 years (excluding replaceable lamp and electrode stack) IECEx Ex ia IIC T4; ATEX Ex ia II 1G -40ºC < Ta < +55ºC (< 10VDC supply) To remove liquids and particulates User replaceable User replaceable Lamp out: 35 mV Alphasense™ CH-A3 or City Technology™ 4P < 8g None Electronics and housing: 24 months Lamp and electrode stack are user replaceable. 10.6eV lamp: 5,000 lit hours NOTE: all sensors are tested at ambient environmental conditions, unless otherwise stated.

Perf erformance Data PID-AH Performance Data Figure 2 Linearity to Isobutylene 0.5 Non-linearity correction depends on the VOC being measured. Figure 3 Selecting the right lamp 600 10 ppm Isobutylene Figure 3 compares the output to 5 and 10ppm Isobutylene for 9.6 eV, 10.0 eV and 10.6 eV lamps. Technical Specification Reduced sensitivity at higher concentrations is a chemical/ physical effect and can be corrected in software for a specific VOC. 9.6eV lamps are slightly more selective for BTEX detection, but 10.0 eV lamps give better sensitivity.
