HT-8700 Open-path NH3 Analyzer Unpacking Guide

Author:admin

    HT-8700 is an open-path analyzer providing in-situ measurements of atmospheric ammonia (NH3) concentrations. Its superior performances in terms of high speed, ultra-high sensitivity, and low power consumption enable the NH3 flux measurements based on the eddy covariance method, especially in the fields without a power grid.

    This article provides detailed instructions for unpacking the HT-8700.

Safety information for HT-8700


The following picture shows the brief introduction of HT-8700 components:

In addition to the analyzer itself, the following devices are also included:
1. Instrument installation components: a mounting post and fastening clamps.

3. Components for the water-cooling system: a water pump, a power cable, silicone tubes, and a refill bottle.
    The water-cooling system helps the instrument to dissipate heat, improving the reliability and performance of the HT-8700 under different temperatures. In our past test cases, the HT-8700 guaranteed high-quality continuous measurement in a subtropical rice paddy even with a 40℃ ground temperature at noon.

    Our HT-8700 has been set up in wet rice fields in southern China and the dry land in the north. It has carried out vehicle-mounted mobile monitoring on pig farms in the suburbs and performed urban air monitoring in Shanghai. Follow us for more stories!
