Rapidox 6100 C4-FN & C5-FK

Rapidox 6100 C4-FN & C5-FK

The Rapidox 6100 C4-FN & C5-FK is a fully- automatic zero-emissions multi-gas gas analyser for measuring gas compartments containing mixtures of C4-FN (Novec 4710) & C5-FK (Novec 5110) blended with CO2 and O2, all combined in a single portable instrument.

Common brand names for these gases are g3 and AirPlus. The modular design allows the customer to purchase only the gas types they require with the potential to upgrade the instrument in the future. The Rapidox measures the gas purity, water-content and contamination gases for each gas type in high voltage switchgear, circuit breakers and transformers as well as gas bottles. It is a fully portable lithium battery powered instrument.


Exceptional accuracy and stability are provided when measuring the purity of the compartment gas, through specially selected sensors. The modular configuration allows for up to six compatible gases to be analysed simultaneously in each gas type, using one analyser. The Rapidox is fully compatible with mixtures of C4-FN & CO2/O2, C5-FK & CO2, together with carbon monoxide which is the primary toxic contamination gas. The unit also measures the water content of the gas in dewpoint or ppm to ensure dryness is

acceptable.


The Rapidox 6100 C4-FN & C5-FK is housed neatly in an IP66-rated Peli transport case and supplied with sample hoses, DN8 and DN20 coupling accessories. Once powered and connected, the operator can select which gas blend to work with and the Rapidox configures the measurement screen correctly. If the user is changing gas type the unit will run a purge cycle to clean the existing gas from the analyser and into an external recovery bag. During the measurement the Rapidox automatically removes a small quantity of pressurised gas from the electrical equipment or gas cylinder, controlled with an automatic pressure sensing function. A vacuum purge cycle and internal gas storage system ensures that no air can contaminate the gas sample and that no test gas is able to escape during the testing period.
