The Nova 5640 Series Portable Engine Exhaust Analyzers are built on the NOVANOW next-generation rugged portable platform. This series has been designed for accuracy, reliability, ease of use and ease of service, providing a detailed spot-check analysis of engine exhaust gas composition. The 5460 uses customer-replaceable electrochemical sensors that respond quickly to the O2, ppmCO, NO, NO2, and SO2 present in the exhaust gas sample. The O2 sensor life expectancy is typically 3-4 years. The CO, NO, NO2, and SO2 sensor life is typically 2-3 years. The infrared CO2 and HCs sensors should not need to be replaced under normal conditions of use.
A rechargeable lithium ion battery provides enough power for about 8 hours of continuous operation and the analyzer can be used while it is being recharged. The 5460 series integrated case is small but rugged, and dust & water resistant when closed. The 5460 Series Analyzers are complete with built-in sampling pump, flow meter, automatic condensate removal, filters, PTFE liquid blocker, 12 ft. (4m) sampling hose, and stainless steel engine exhaust probe with pre-filter. Also included are a cigarette lighter power plug and remote printer actuator button for printer-equipped models.
