PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Emerson Process Management, the world leader in process gas analyzers, offers the multi-component, multi-technology CAT 100 Continuous Gas Analyzer Transmitter with flameproof (explosion proof) packaging. The CAT 100 provides superior performance and has been designed for precise, continuous gas measurements in a variety of applications. FIELD-MOUNTABLE HOUSING The CAT 100 is housed in a Class I, Zone 1 (IIB) + H2 approved transmitter-style enclosure that can be field mounted in the harshest environmental conditions. The enclosure can be mounted near the process without requiring ambient controls or costly and space-consuming shelters. This feature greatly reduces installation and utility costs while vastly improving process efficiency. MULTI-MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY The CAT 100 can continuously measure 1 or 2 components in a single analyzer using a combination of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy, paramagnetic or electrochemical oxygen and thermal conductivity sensors. This exceptional flexibility has been achieved by combining the most sophisticated gas detection sensor technology with microprocessor controlled signal processing. MEASUREMENTS The CAT 100 brings together more than 40 years of development and process application expertise blending the latest sensors, digital signal processing and software technologies. The CAT 100 can satisfy the most demanding single or dual analysis requirements. Many gas components can be measured including: Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxygen (O2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), Propane (C3H8), Methane (CH4), Butane (C4H10), Hydrogen (H2), Hexane (C8H14) and Ethylene (C2H4). TOUCHPAD CONTROL The CAT analyzer's magnetically operated user interface is placed behind an impact-tested safety glass. It offers the user setup and control capabilities without needing to open the analyzer housing or shut off power. All analyzer key functions are accessible including autocalibration, limit alarms, range selection (O2 and IR with scope function), diagnostics and much more by simply pointing a magnetic tool at the appropriate function key. SAMPLE HANDLING/CONDITIONING OPTION With the addition of a sample handling and conditioning system mounted to an integral plate, the CAT 100 becomes a complete stand-alone in-field, transmitter-style analyzer system. The sample conditioning plate option is a small and efficiently designed system that is bolted directly onto the analyzer housing at the factory for a final one-piece system construction. This one-piece unit can then easily be mounted to a the process pipe. This feature offers highly efficient process monitoring and fast installation at low cost. The sample conditioning system is designed by experienced Emerson Process Management engineers who will tailor the sample handling system around your particular process parameters and required measurements. Alternately, the CAT 100 design can incorporate internal sample handling options such as a gas sampling pump, flowmeter, flow restrictor and solenoid valve block for autocalibration and remote valve and calibration control. Two pumps, flowmeters and valve blocks are available as a special solution for parallel tubed benches. FOUNDATION™ FIELDBUS COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS FOUNDATION™ fieldbus offers the latest, most innovative field control architecture available. A two-wire digital communications protocol enables individual instruments to communicate together and be interoperable with other FOUNDATION™ fieldbus capable instruments. This communications protocol can carry vast amounts of information that is not accessible by using standard analog or digital data acquisition methods – information not only about the process, but also about the equipment controlling it.
