BetaGuard - Model PM 3.0 -Superior Source Particulate Monitor
Engineered for improved performance, the new BetaGuard PM 3.0 represents the latest advancement in system design. New advanced hardware features and completely redesigned system control software are based on over two million operating hours and over 10 years` experience continuously monitoring particulate emissions from a variety of plant stacks across the country.
An Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 700 touch screen display is now used for both local and remote operation. The user-friendly touch screen places all system operations at your fingertip. The operating screens are more efficient than before. The new display stores Excel, Word, and PDF documents. The user manual and all support documents are right where you need them.
An Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC replaces the SLC500. The upgraded PLC offers more DAHS and DCS I/O options than before. External access to the PLC and display is now available through your plant Ethernet system using A-B FactoryTalk ViewPoint. Connection to the monitor is via Cat6 or Fiber Optic cable. Communicate with the monitor by Point I/O, TCP/IP Network, or RTU/ASCII Serial. Inside the PLC is a completely redesigned system control program. The software is even more user-friendly than before. Prior pre-set alarm levels are now user definable. More alarm points are now watched. Daily calibrations of the mass and flow measurement are now faster leading to more data availability. ACA and SVA results are stored in the PLC memory for electronic retrieval. The faster processor in the ControlLogix PLC has increased the accuracy and repeatability of all timing sequences within the monitor`s operating system leading to more stable beta attenuation measurements. The new PLC and system program increases the monitor`s accuracy, reliability, and operability.
Teflon coated nozzles and a Teflon coated sample cone are new features. The Teflon coated nozzle reduces particulate deposition and loss in the sample probe. Field trials demonstrated much less scaling of particulate on the interior walls of the nozzle. The Teflon coated sample cone eliminates buildup of the filter paper on the ring forming the seal to the filter. Both hardware features have reduced maintenance.
The new BetaGuard PM 3.0 provides what you are looking for in a superior source particulate monitor.
