o The SDM, USB, and RS-485 output options include IRGASON

diagnostic data. Be aware that the absence of diagnostic data in the analog output option could make troubleshooting difficult and may lead to the user not being aware of potential problems with the instrumentation (see Section 8, EC100 Outputs).

o Resting the analyzer on its side during the zero-and-span

procedure may result in measurement inaccuracy.

o When cleaning the gas-analyzer window, make sure the alcohol

and any residual water completely evaporate before proceeding with the zero-and-span procedure (see Section 9.3, Gas-Analyzer Window Cleaning).

3. Initial Inspection

Upon receipt of the IRGASON, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage claims with the shipping company.

4. Overview

The IRGASON is an in-situ, open-path, mid-infrared absorption analyzer integrated with a three-dimensional sonic anemometer. The gas analyzer provides measurements of absolute densities of carbon dioxide and water vapor, while the sonic anemometer measures orthogonal wind components.

The IRGASON is measured and controlled by the EC100 electronics, which synchronizes gas and wind data, essential for valid flux calculations using the eddy-covariance method. The EC100 electronics also uses inputs from an included temperature thermistor probe and a barometer. “IRGASON” and “EC100” are often used interchangeably in this manual.

The IRGASON has been optimized for remote eddy-covariance- flux applications, addressing issues of aerodynamics, power consumption, spatial displacement, and temporal synchronicity. Specifically, its unique design contains no obstructions surrounding the sample volume; it operates with only 5 Watts of power at room temperature; it has no spatial displacement between the sample volumes of the gas analyzer and the sonic anemometer; and the EC100 synchronously samples data from the gas analyzer and sonic anemometer.

The IRGASON is supplied with mounting hardware to attach it to the end of a horizontal pipe with a diameter of 1.31 in., such as the Campbell Scientific CM202, CM204, or CM206 crossarm. The following steps describe the normal mounting procedure. Refer to FIGURE 6-1.

1. Secure the chosen crossarm to a tripod or other vertical structure using a

CM210 Crossarm-to-Pole Mounting Kit (pn 17767).

2. Point the horizontal arm into the direction of the prevailing wind and

tighten the nuts and bolts.

Do not carry the IRGASON by the arms or the strut between the arms. Always hold it by the block, where the upper and lower arms connect.

3. Bolt the IRGASON mounting bracket (pn 27496) to the CM250 Leveling

Mount (pn 26559) (see FIGURE 6-1).

4. Install the IRGASON to the mounting bracket by inserting the mounting

bolt and pin into the corresponding holes. Tighten the bolt. Make sure the analyzer is vertically oriented so the label is right-side-up and the upper arm (source) is directly above the lower arm (detector).

5. Mount the IRGASON

of the crossarm. Tighten the set screws on the boom adapter with a 3/16 inch hex socket head wrench.

IRGASON® Integrated CO2/H2O Open-Path Gas Analyzer and 3D Sonic Anemometer

WARNING

Handle the IRGASON carefully. The optical source may be damaged by rough handling, especially while the analyzer is powered.

6. If the assembly is not level, slightly loosen the bolt that holds the

mounting bracket on the boom adapter and adjust the assembly until the leveling bubble on top of the IRGASON block is within the bullseye. Retighten the bolt.

7. Attach the EC100 enclosure to the mast, tripod leg, or other part of the

mounting structure. To do this, attach the EC100-enclosure mounting bracket (pn 26604) to the pipe by loosely tightening the u-bolts around the pipe. The u-bolts are found in the mesh pocket inside the EC100 enclosure. If the pipe does not run vertically (for example, if the enclosure is being attached to a leg of a tripod), rotate the bracket to the side of the pipe. The enclosure must hang upright. Make angle adjustments as needed by loosening the four nuts and rotating the bracket plates relative to one another. If the necessary angle cannot be achieved in the given orientation, the four nuts may be removed and the top plate indexed by 90° to allow the bracket to travel in the other direction (see FIGURE 6-2). Once adjusted, tighten all the nuts. Finally, attach the EC100 enclosure to the bracket by loosening the bolts on the back of the enclosure, hanging the enclosure on the mounting bracket (it should slide into place and be able to securely hang from the bracket), and tightening the bolts (see FIGURE 6-3).
