eld-replaceable sensors

• NO

Bacharach’s all new PCA®3 is the denitive combustion and emissions analyzer that enables fast and accurate

measurement for on-demand or semi-continuous sampling of light industrial, institutional, commercial and residential furnaces, boilers and appliances. Exclusive B-Smart calibration as simple as pushing a button.

plug-and-play sensor technology makes

NO only

Powerful and Easy to Use!

The Bacharach PCA®3 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe

operating conditions, determine combustion efciency and perform emissions testing. This lightweight handheld combustion and emissions analyzer directly measures and displays Flue Gas Oxygen (O Stack Temperature, Draft, Differential Pressure, Combustion Air Temperature and optionally measures and displays Nitric Oxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO displays Combustion Efciency (EFF), Excess Air (EA), Carbon Dioxide (CO Plus, the PCA from a choice of up to 6 eld-upgradable electrochemical sensors. With its large, vibrant color display, reading combustion and emissions test results in any work environment has never been easier!
