Portable Mercury Vapor Detector Technology
The mercury concentration is measured in an optical cell made of high-purity-grade fused silica. A maintenance-free membrane pump continuously feeds the sample gas into the measuring cell, where the attenuation of a UV beam is measured. The analytical wavelength used is 253.7 nm. This mercury detection method is called Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CVAAS), which is extremely sensitive for mercury determination and has been widely used for many years.
Analytical Performance of Mercury Tracker 3000XS
The Tracker 3000 XS portable mercury vapor monitor uses a high-frequency driven electrodeless low-pressure mercury lamp as a UV source. This lamp emits lines of an extremely narrow bandwidth congruent with the absorption lines of the Hg atoms. Cross-sensitivities are thus minimized.
Unlike the gold film-based system, mercury vapor measurements are not interfered with by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or water vapor. The extremely high stability of the UV source is a result of the reference beam feedback control method. Total background noise is less than 0.1 µg/m³. The Tracker 3000 XS mercury sniffer is calibrated before delivery and keeps the calibration for an extended period of time. For quality control, a test screen is included to allow the user to check calibration.

Easy-to-operate mercury vapor Monitor
The user controls the Mercury Tracker 3000 XS by menu-guided inputs on a waterproof membrane keypad. After switch-on, the light source is stabilized (approx. one – five minutes). Measurement starts automatically, continuously indicating the mercury concentrations in the air as a numerical value and a graphic bar. The baseline is automatically adjusted by the auto-zero function.
Display, Export and GPS Tracking of Mercury Measurement Data
The mercury contamination readings are displayed in real-time on a large 5.3" LCD screen, both numerically and graphically. Measurement data is exported as a 4-20 mA analog signal and via a serial RS232 interface.
The Mercury Tracker 3000 XS features a built-in data logger with an internal 2 GB SD card, automatic time and date stamp, and GPS stamp if activated. GPS built-in receives US-GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and others to increase positioning accuracy and improve reception. Client Software for data transfer to a PC is included, and data is automatically formatted in Excel. The Tracker 3000 XS also provides alarms and messages for operational status.
Self-Diagnosis of Mercury Locating System
Essential components of the Mercury Tracker 3000 XS are permanently monitored. In case of malfunctions, the user is warned on the display (blinking messages: clean cell, lamp, low battery alarm) and via output signals.
