The Z-800XP Ammonia Monitor is a portable desktop instrument which measures ammonia concentration in air with a resolution of 0.1 ppm and a range 0-50 ppm. The LCD display outputs the concentration (in ppm) every 10 seconds. The instrument also computes a 15-minute average and a Time Weighted Average (updated hourly for up to 8 hours). These values can be viewed anytime during the measurement procedure. The internal pump can be combined with an extendable probe, for sampling from hard to reach areas.

With the data-logging feature enabled, the meter will store all of the exposure points for each use. The maximum storage capacity is 14,400 data points. This is the equivalent of 5 separate 8-hour uses. The data is easily uploaded to PC using components available within the Microsoft Windows Operating System or the terminal software included with the instrument.



The sensing element of the instrument is an electrochemical cell. The cell is a four-electrode type, which contains a working and an active auxiliary electrode. The signal from the auxiliary electrode is used for temperature compensation. This improves the selectivity of the entire sensor. The sensors response is linear with the concentration of ammonia in air.
