Multipoint Sampler : INNOVA 1409

The INNOVA 1409 Multipoint Sampler from LumaSense Technolo-gies is designed to extend the capabilities of LumaSense gas monitors.

The 1409 is delivered as a 6, 12, or 24 channel Multipoint Sampler,  enabling gas samples to be drawn from up to 24 different sampling locations and delivered to the gas monitor.The sampling system is configured from the system controller: either directly via the front panel interface of the gas monitor, or using one of the available softwares (BZ7007 or LumaSoft 7880).

The 1409 commu-nicates with the gas monitor over a USB interface. When using LumaSoft 7880 as a system controller, the computer is connected to the gas monitor via the RS232 serial, USB, or Ethernet interface.

The sampler  system is constructed of AISI-316 stainless steel and  PTFE  (poly-tetrafluoro ethyl ene) tubing to minimize adsorption of samples.

The system has 6 to 24 inlet channels depending on the configu-ration. Each inlet channel has a tube-mounting stub on the backplate of the 1409; to connect each channel to the respective sampling point.

The 24 inlet channels converge into one; a three-way valve then directs the gas sample to the gas monitor for analysis, or through the external pump (optional) via the waste-air outlet on the 1409’s backplate.

The highly efficient 1409’s sampler system transports gas samples from the sampling point at approximately four meters per second.

This speed depends on the type of pump, the diameter of the tubing, and the length of tubing attached to the 1409. An air filter is attached to the end of each sampling tube to keep the 1409 free of particles.
