Archer Instruments, LLC products

Archer Instruments specializes in manufacturing robust Vacuum Regulators designed for vacuum-feed gas chlorination and sulfur dioxide systems. These regulators function as normally closed, diaphragm-operated inlet valves, ensuring that pressurized gas sources are effectively integrated into vacuum systems. Engineered with precision-machined parts, Archer's regulators eliminate the use of injection-molded components, prioritizing durability and performance. Integral to their design is an internal safety relief vent valve that safely redirects low-pressure gas leaks to the outside atmosphere, preventing system pressure build-up. As a fail-safe, the spring-loaded inlet safety valve closes if vacuum is lost, maintaining system integrity. Their versatility and safety features make them ideal for handling hazardous gases under varying operational conditions, addressing potential challenges like gas leakage due to residue build-up or maintenance lapses.

The Archer Instruments VGA-450 Vent Guard is an efficient solution for controlling chlorine gas emissions. It is engineered to absorb up to 3 pounds of chlorine gas that might escape from a chlorine vacuum regulator relief connection. This prevents unnecessary detection alarms, reduces corrosion risks within chlorine handling facilities, and aids in compliance with regulatory standards concerning chlorine gas exhaust. The system operates within a compact container, roughly the size of a five-gallon bucket, housing a non-hazardous chlorine-absorbing medium. The design supports the stacking of units for increased absorption capacity. It features transparent connectors for visual status checks using chlorine indicating paper strips. With tamper-resistant lids and flexible tubing, the VGA-450 ensures simple integration into existing facilities and requires no special disposal procedures. This system is ideal for urban environments or densely populated areas where even small chlorine leaks are a concern.

The CRA-7 Chlorine Residual Analyzer is designed for accurate monitoring of chlorine levels in water systems and is adaptable for use with one or two chlorine sensors. This device is suitable for measuring both Free and Total Chlorine, with an option to incorporate a pH sensor. The integration of a pH sensor allows for continuous monitoring and potential compensation for pH fluctuations impacting Free Chlorine measurements. The analyzer operates with a reduced pH dependency to provide reliable chlorine readings. It supports power supplies of 120 VAC, 240 VAC, and 24 VDC and offers versatile communication capabilities, including MODBUS output and multiple 4-20 mA analog outputs. The system features an intuitive user interface with an alphanumeric display and easy-to-use control buttons. Designed with a NEMA4X rated electronic controller and flow cell, it ensures precise chlorine sensing by maintaining consistent water flow and preventing air bubble accumulation on sensors. Pre-mounted on a poly panel, the system is easy to install and maintain.
