Detection Threshold
TR8 Odotracker measures chemicals close to the detection threshold at parts per billion (ppb) levels
Companion Equipment
An Odotracker works great with a personal olfactometer, such as the SM100i. This allows users to determine the concentration of chemical compounds as well as ambient odours
Overview of TR8 Odotracker
The TR8 Odotracker Handheld Analyzer is a multi-sensor analysis tool that measures the concentrations of two chemicals in ambient air at the same time. Chemicals to be measured by the device are specified at the time of ordering. As a result, the user may specify the measurement of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) at ppb level and Ammonia (NH3) at ppm level. The TR8 Odotracker is an incredibly helpful tool, because it logs the chemical measurements as well as temperature and humidity of the sample, and GPS location, and automatically transfers all data to the user’s supplied smart Android device via Bluetooth.
A TR8 Odotracker Handheld Analyzer Includes a sampling pump, two chemical sensors that are specified at the time of ordering, and Scentroid’s OdoTracker Application that can be loaded to any customer supplied Android phone/tablet. For each sample location, Scentroid instantaneously records:
-
The concentration of two chemical vapours in ppm or ppb depending on sensors ordered
-
Temperature and humidity
-
GPS position of each measurement
-
Continuously for remote monitoring via Bluetooth
Odotracker Applications
Measure ambient H2S, Ammonia, Total VOC, and other chemical concentrations
Determine H2S, Ammonia, VOCs, and other chemicals emissions from various types of sources
Determine emission trends through 24+ hour data logging
Verify sample loss due to transportation
Validate dispersion models through emission measurements
TR8 OdoTracker Operation
-
Connect to OdoTracker via Bluetooth
-
Connect the sample bag or allow for ambient air to be pulled in
-
See chemical readings live
-
Take snapshot readings of H2S, Ammonia, VOC, other chemical composition, GPS position, temperature, and humidity of the sample
-
Activate recording for continuous data logging
-
Export data for reporting and post analysis
Increased Safety
Odotracker will provide the user with constant readings of the ambient air providing added protection from over-exposure to chemical vapours such as hydrogen sulphide.
Measuring Odour Losses
Laboratories can utilize the Odotracker to manage odour losses in sample transportation and storage. For example, H2S and NH3 readings after sampling and before olfactometric analysis will allow the laboratory to determine the level of odour losses and determine if the sample is still valid.
Optional Controlling Module
Odotracker can accommodate an optional controller module that has a 10 amp dry contact relay output to signal if the summation of the customer specified combined scaled chemical readings exceeds a customer specified threshold setting. This relay contact can be used to trigger alarms or switch on ventilation fans, chemical scrubbers or other devices when a combined scaled chemical concentration for the two sensors is reached. A hysteresis span is provided for relay triggering and non-triggering.
