The analysers comprising the PG-300 Series retain high precision and reliability and are designed to be placed in close proximity of the sample point. The unit’s display is angled allowing users to easily read the LCD display even in bright sunlight. The fonts and colors have been selected to enhance the visibility. Additionally, the operation guidelines can be displayed in eight languages, making the unit a truly global analyser and “smart partner” for emissions monitoring.
