UV Spectrophotometer

FPA 1000
Process Visible Spectrophotometer

TYTRONICS® FPA 1000/1100 SERIES

The FPA 1000/1100 series uses a design that separates the electronics from the measurement cell. Fiberoptics are used to transmit light to and from the measurement cell.

The use of fiberoptics simplifies installation and reduces maintenance costs. The measurement cell mounts directly into the process stream which avoids the need for a separate sampling system in many applications. There are no electrical connections at the cell, avoiding explosion-proof requirements at the sample point. The cell requires no optical alignment at time of installation or after routine maintenance. This further aids rapid installation and greatly eases maintenance by plant personnel.

A single beam, dual wavelength, optical configuration corrects for window coating, sample turbidity or light intensity changes from interfering with the instrument’s results. Automatic calibration insures instrument accuracy.

The electronics are microprocessor-controlled with full on-board diagnostics. With these features process engineers can now choose an on-line spectrophotometer which is simple to install and gives reproducible and accurate result over a wide range of process conditions.

By design, these instruments are virtually maintenance-free.
