Product Guide Gas Analysis and Detection Equipment
Company Profile In its first ten years of trading Cambridge Sensotec has gone from strength to strength, developing into an international company with an established worldwide distributor network and gaining ISO 9001 accreditation. Initially the company specialised in zirconia sensors for measuring low ppm oxygen, particularly in vacuum applications. Having diversified, the company now offers a large range of portable and bench mounted analysers designed for heavy industry, research and development and are popular within university laboratories. The Rapidox 2100 and 3100 series which succeeded the original 2000 and 3000 range, first launched in 2001, are highly regarded for speed of response, ease of use and value for money. A full data-logging software suite is supplied with every instrument, enhancing the usability of the range. The Rapidox range has recently been extended with the introduction of dual gas analysers and a tri-gas analyser, that measures SF6, SO2 and Dewpoint, aimed specifically at the power industry.

Rapidox 1100 range of Oxygen Analysers Cambridge Sensotec s budget range of O 2 analysers Rapidox 1100Z The Rapidox 1100Z is a zirconia oxygen analyser that allows fast and accurate oxygen analysis over the range 1ppm to 100% O2. The analyser provides continuous on-line oxygen analysis, with a typical response time of less than 5 seconds for a 90% response to a step change in gas compositions. It also includes an internal pressure sensor to compensate for small variations in gas pressure. Various applications are possible, including low level O2 monitoring in laboratories and inert gas purity measurements. Rapidox 1100E The Rapidox 1100E oxygen analyser gives accurate oxygen analysis over the oxygen range 0 to 100% O2 with a resolution of 0.01%. The Rapidox 1100E contains a top-of-the-range Yuasa electrochemical O2 sensor which has an estimated lifetime of 5 years. Like all the 1100 range the unit has programmable alarm circuits, programmable analogue outputs, easy calibration (user selectable gases), RS232 communications and complete communications / data-logging software. Rapidox 1100L The Rapidox 1100L is designed for low range O2 analysis where a traditional zirconia sensor may not be suitable. The 1100L contains a German engineered ppm electrochemical oxygen cell which measures from 0.1ppm to 1% O2. This analyser is most suitable when the user wants to measure O2 in a gas mixture containing VOCS, solvents, helium or fuels. All of the Rapidox 1100 range of oxygen analysers have pumps with variable flow rate, can be supplied panel mounted and equipped with the gas inlets and outlets on the rear of the instrument.
Rapidox 2100 range of Oxygen Analysers Cambridge Sensotec s portable industrial O 2 analyser Rapidox 2100 The Rapidox 2100 is a portable oxygen analyser that is perfect for high temperature gas measurements or measuring gas in a vacuum. From the display to the outputs, all features are fully user programmable using the keypad on the front panel, or the software provided. Easy to use and simple to calibrate using your choice of up to three gases, the Rapidox 2100 offers exceptional performance and flexibility using a rugged, long-life zirconia oxygen sensor. Rapidox 2100 OEM The Rapidox 2100 OEM uses the same sensor as the Rapidox 2100, which allows fast and accurate oxygen analysis over the full oxygen range (10-20 ppm to 100% O2). The analyser provides continuous on-line oxygen analysis, with a typical response time less than 5 seconds for a 90% response to a step change in gas compositions. The Rapidox 2100 OEM offers analyser performance at a very competitive price. Like all the 2100 range it is supplied with full Windows software for easy datalogging and live time graphing. Rapidox 2100W Supplied in an IP65 weather proof housing with a transparent polycarbonate hinged window, the Rapidox 2100 Wallmount. includes all the features of the bench-mounted version and is built to suit a static application. The zirconia oxygen sensor is fitted inside a bespoke steel cabinet with a flow gauge, room for a printer and auxiliary sensors. Additional sensors can be fitted via the auxiliary input on either the 2100 or the 2100W models which can be configured to read pressure, vacuum or dew-point.
Rapidox 3100 range of Oxygen Analysers Cambridge Sensotec s precision range of O 2 analysers Rapidox 3100Z The Rapidox 3100Z oxygen analyser allows fast and accurate O2 analysis down to sub-ppm levels.

This precision range of analysers comes with fully programmable alarm circuits, programmable analogue outputs, easy calibration, RS232 / RS485 communications, a type K thermocouple and a full set of communications and data-logging software. Rapidox 3100E/L/Z AB The Rapidox 3100A/B are designed to measure O2 and either CO2 or CO. The analysers utilise state of the art infrared gas detection cards to measure CO2 or CO and are available with any of the O2 cells listed; a zirconia cell that measures from 10-20 ppm to 100% O2, a Yuasa electrochemical cell which offers a range of 0.01-100% and finally the L cell which utilises a German engineered ppm electrochemical sensor with a range of 0.1ppm to 1%. Users can also benefit from a large range of CO / CO2 cards. Rapidox 3100E/L/Z D The Rapidox 3100D uses a dewpoint sensor alongside any of the available oxygen sensors. This enables the user to plot the moisture content of their gas mixture along with the O2 content. As with the other models in the 3100 range full pressure, excluding the H20 sensor in the Rapidox 3100D, and temperature compensation are included. All the Rapidox dual gas analysers can data log both gases and can use MS-Excel logging software. Cambridge Sensotec also offers a variety of filters allowing the 3100 range to be used in a large number of applications.
Rapidox 3100C IR SF6 Analyser Cambridge Sensotec s triple gas analyser for SF 6 monitoring Rapidox 3100C The Rapidox IR SF6 Analyser is the latest high precision gas analyser designed for controlling and monitoring the quality of SF6 in gas insulated sub-stations and circuit breakers. The analyser not only measures the SF6 gas content in air or nitrogen over the full range, but also measures the moisture and SO2 content. The analyser simultaneously measures SF6 (0-100%), SO2 (0-100ppm) and H2O (-100 to +20 Cdp). All three gases can be monitored and data-logged simultaneously with readings given extremely quickly. Rapidox 3100C Kit The Rapidox 3100C is also available as a complete portable kit allowing engineers to carry all the equipment they need in one handy case. This includes a handle for the unit itself, a set of DN8 and DN20 DILO fittings with 2m hose and a thermal printer. In addition to the standard 3100-C a battery powered model is now available, making the unit fully portable. With up to eight hours between charges this unit is perfect for sampling multiple sites quickly and efficiently. Both battery / mains powered units are available in single gas models. Gas Recovery Bag The Rapidox gas recovery bag is designed to store samples of gas SF6 until they can be properly recycled. The bag can hold up to 80 litres at standard pressure, allowing many hours of testing before the bag needs to be emptied. Once the user has finished or the bag has become full it can be returned to a recycling facility. The gas recovery bag is also suitable for recovering, sampling, storing and transporting many other gases. The bag is constructed from extremely tough and durable polyamide material.
