TVA 1000 B (FID or FID/PID) Toxic Vapor Analyzer

P/N TVA 1000 B

The TVA1000B is the only portable, intrinsically safe, survey flame ionization (FID) and photoionization (PID) dual monitor which provides fast and accurate readings of organic and inorganic vapors and meets EPA Method 21 specifications for monitoring fugitive emissions.

TVA1000B is built for fast, simple operation in real-world field conditions. A large keypad ensures straight-forward, easy operation, with or without gloves. Datalogging is activated by a thumb-switch on the hand held probe. Operations are menu-driven and displays are bright and easy to read.

TVA 1000 B Flame Ionization Detector Benefits:

The TVA-1000 is the first of its kind. Never before has an over-the-shoulder portable vapor analyzer offered both a photoionization detector (PID) and flame ionization detector (FID) operating simultaneously in a single instrument. The benefits of each individual detector are very clear: both the FID and the PID have their advantages and disadvantages. However, with either detector alone the number of vapors that one can detect is limited by that detector’s measurement capabilities.

Before the TVA-1000, for truly complete survey monitoring of total vapors, two separate analyses with an FID and a PID were imperative. That could be inconvenient, time consuming, and expensive. With the TVA-1000, users can obtain complete information about organic and inorganic vapors quickly and easily. Most important of all, the TVA-1000 eliminates the need to purchase, learn, operate, and maintain two separateinstruments - one analyzer does it all!

An optional Enhanced Probe is available which allows single hand operation. Users do not need to access the sidepack during operation. The TVA1000B is compact, so you can easily carry it anywhere and its power and fuel supplies run for eight hours on a full charge. Since safety is critical to many applications, the unit is fully certified intrinsically safe for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, & D. With its dual design, on-board datalogging and multipoint calibration, the TVA1000B increases productivity, and efficiency, and provides accuracy over a broader range. You no longer need to carry a second analyzer and a clipboard. Overall monitoring time is reduced because the number of vapors detected per scan is greater and scribing time is eliminated. In addition, on-board datalogging improves the integrity of the data by eliminating transcription errors.

	How a Photoionization Detector Works:
	A PID, or Photoionization Detector, consists of a UV lamp of a specific energy and an ionization chamber. Compounds passing through the chamber are excited by photons of UV energy from the lamp and ionized, attracting them to a collecting electrode,  that produces a current proportional to the concentration of the compound.
	How a Flame Ionization Detector Works:
	An FID, or Flame Ionization Detector, measures organic compounds by utilizing a flame produced by the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen(air). When hydrocarbons in the sample are introduced to the detection zone, ions are produced. A collector electrode with a polarizing voltage located within the detector chamber, attracts the ions producing a current This is directly proportional to the concentration of hydrocarbons introduced to the flame.
