COMBUSTION AND EMISSION ANALYSIS
Rugged and Reliable
Designed for commercial and industrial environments, the PCA 400 is rugged and reliable for everyday use. With a rugged one-step probe connection and automatic sensor protection to extend the safe operating range, the PCA 400 remains ready at your side.
Easy to Service and Maintain
B-SMART™ Pre-Calibrated Sensors
Bacharach’s B-SMART™ pre-calibrated sensors
eliminate eld calibrations, or allow the user to add a new sensor type in the eld. With NFC technology,
installing a B-SMART™ sensor takes just a few seconds. The B-SMART™ exchange program is available so you don’t have to remember when your instrument needs calibration.
The PCA 400 is designed to make maintenance easy. With quick access to sensors, batteries, probes and other consumable parts, cost of ownership and down
time are signicantly reduced.
High-Flow Pump with Fresh Air Purge
For the toughest applications, the PCA 400 has options
to enable a higher pump ow and perform fresh air sensor purges while the probe is still in the ue.
Multiple Sensor Options
The PCA 400 can be congured with up to 4 gas
sensors. Pick from the CO-H high-range sensor, then add NO, NO needed. NO and SO
is calculated from the NO reading if NOx

From commercial boilers to the oil and gas industry — Bacharach’s PCA 400 is designed for you.
ENGINES:
The PCA 400 is perfect for spot-checking and tuning your engines with the high-range CO sensor (with dilution capabilities for CO of up to 80,000 ppm, ensuring the sensor is not over ranging) and available sample conditioner. Whether it’s natural gas, stationary gensets or mobile
diesel eet vehicles, monitoring your emissions is fast, easy and accurate.
MIDSTREAM OIL AND GAS:
Whether gearing up for a compliance test or doing a quick spot check, the PCA 400 is always at the ready. Bluetooth
®
data streaming and customizable reporting options provide all of the
necessary information for reliable test reporting.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BOILERS:
The PCA 400 oers everything you and your technicians need to commission,
tune, maintain and certify any boiler, anywhere. With customized reporting and a simple user interface, boiler tuning and commissioning has never been so simple.
