1. Introduction

The IRGASON, U.S. Des. Patent No. D680455, is an in situ, open-path, mid-infrared absorption

gas 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.

Before using the IRGASON please study:

lPrecautions (p. 1)

lInitial inspection (p. 2)

lInstallation (p. 11)

More details are available in the remaining sections.

2. Precautions

lDANGER:

oThe scrubber bottles of all IRGASON instruments shipped prior to July 2017 contain

the strong oxidizing agents sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, NaOH) and anhydrous

magnesium perchlorate (Mg(ClO4)2). If you are handling or exchanging the scrubber

bottles (see Replacing desiccant and scrubber bottles (p. 40)), use the following

precautions. IRGASON instrument shipped after July 2017, contain a 13X molecular

sieve instead.

nAvoid direct contact with the chemicals.

nEnsure your work area is well ventilated and free of reactive compounds,

including liquid water.

nStore used chemical bottles in a sealed container until disposal.

nDispose of chemicals and bottles properly.

nSafety Data Sheets (SDS) are provided in Safety data sheets (SDS) (p. 67). SDS

are updated periodically by chemical manufacturers. Obtain current SDS at

www.campbellsci.com .

lWARNING:

oDo 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.

oHandle the IRGASON carefully. The optical source may be damaged by rough

handling, especially while the analyzer is powered.

oOvertightening bolts will damage or deform the mounting hardware.

lCAUTION:

oGrounding the EC100 measurement electronics is critical. Proper grounding to earth

(chassis) will ensure maximum ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection and improve

measurement accuracy.

oDo not connect or disconnect the gas analyzer or sonic connectors while the EC100 is

powered.

oThe 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 EC100 outputs (p. 27)).

oResting the analyzer on its side during the zero-and-span procedure may result in

measurement inaccuracy.

oWhen cleaning the gas-analyzer window, make sure the alcohol and any residual

water completely evaporate before proceeding with the zero-and-span procedure

(see Gas analyzer window cleaning (p. 34)).

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.

IRGASON® Integrated CO2/H2O Open-Path Gas Analyzer and 3D Sonic Anemometer 2

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W 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.
