phx42 with ZERO OXYGEN MODE FID

Based on the innovative design of the phx42 FID analyzer, also commonly known as a Toxic Vapor Analyzer or TVA*, we are now able to configure phx42 to do VOC sampling in low oxygen or NO oxygen environments such as Nitrogen pad, Carbon Canisters, VOC Tank Inspections, and MSS Permit Inspections.

*This is a misnomer, but also a term the industry has accepted to describe portable FIDs.

When set to Zero Oxygen Mode, the phx42 can monitor components that were impossible to monitor before since there was insufficient oxygen available at the probe tip to sustain the hydrogen flame in the FID. This meant that the instrument was subject to nagging flameouts or unable to work at all.

This extraordinary feature is based on the following innovations:

  • We are bringing the oxygen for the hydrogen combustion through the scrubber attached directly to the unit.
  • We made special adjustments to the multiple flows into the detector.
  • Fine-tuned the hydrogen flow to the flame.
  • Modified the closed-loop controls for hydrogen pressure and pump levels to optimize control and accuracy.

EXTERNAL Bluetooth CONTROL

Entirely controlled by a hand-held PDA. phx42 also includes powerful datalogging software that can be used to create electronic records of inspections.

CONTROL OF HYDROGEN

Major improvements have been made to the control of Hydrogen. Manual adjustment will no longer be needed.

EXPANDED SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS

Responding to worldwide demand, that require expanded safety certifications, we are in the process of certifying the phx42 to 27 different standards.

Special Features

PUMP THROTTLING & DEADHEAD DETECTION

Computerized pump throttling maintains a consistent sample flow–particularly when the filter has been partially blocked.

DATA & ANALYZER FEEDBACK

Log files are recorded every 2 secs, on the mainboard, including battery voltage, high & low pressure H2 levels, ppm, pump power, exhaust pressure and thermocouple temp. SDKs also available for common platforms.

Continuous Monitoring Now Possible 24/7

Able to run with external H2 and Power indefinitely. No need to swap H2 cylinders. Automatic logging is included when Android Device is connected when using the free phxApp. Note: not for use in hazardous locations as the power supply is not certified.

BATTERY

A state-of-the-art battery has been developed, which extends service life. The warranty has been increased from 90 days to one year.

FILTER DETECTION

phx42 is able to detect if a filter is in place, and will not let you monitor if the filter is missing. Certain conditions apply.

PORTABILITY

Even smaller and lighter unit, the phx42 makes life a little easier for the technician.
