only one dynamic wide working range!
automatic Zero-Adjustment
heated to 50C (Temperature-Compensation)
Baseline Monitor can be switched between two resolutions.

TOC-V Series NDIR-Detector

Switch off automatic Zero-Adjustment(only
for testing purposes) by switching SW1
from NOR to Test Position
Adjustment of Baseline position possible
with Potentiometer VR1 and VR2

TOC-V Series NDIR-Detector

1. Baseline with activated Zero-Adjustment
2. Switching SW1 from NOR to Test position
3. Baseline with de-activated Zero-Adjustment
(In this case slightly increased)

Due to slightly
increased position
of real baseline, there
is nothing to see in
view 20mV.

TOC-V Series NDIR-Detector

Adjustment of Baseline position with Potentiometer VR1
(if VR1 is at end position, continue with VR2)

Baseline adjusted
to approximately 5mV

TOC-VCXH Bypass Test

With at the beginning mentioned

accessories, the various system
components can be bypassed
specifically, either the exact flow
rate can be examined, e.g. to find
out the cause of contamination
(Effect: Baseline position too high )

What is different in TOC-VCXN Instruments ?

Main difference between
TOC-VCXH(High Sense) and TOC-VCXN(Normal Sense)
Flowline construction
no IC-Reaction-Vessel
=>IC- Measurement is done via acidification(HCL)
in syringe and then sparging out the generated
CO2 directly from the syringe to NDIR detector.
