Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new F-950 Three Gas

Analyzer!

The new F-950 Three Gas Analyzer measures 3 critical gases:

ethylene (C2H4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), to

maintain optimum produce quality at every phase.

The F-950 is used to:

Inspect storage and packing environments

Verify ethylene mitigation efficacy

Optimize ripening storage atmosphere conditions

Quality assure MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging)

for ethylene-sensitive products

Ethylene affects ripening, aging, and spoilage in produce. The F-

950 measures levels of ethylene, CO2and O2in the atmosphere,

and can be scaled to many environments, from cold storage to

warehouse to transportation container.

Simple to operate and weighing less than a kilogram, the F-950

uses an electrochemical cell to measure ethylene between 0-

200 ppm in air. It records date, time, relative humidity,

temperature, and coming soon GPS location. The F-950 is ideal

for measuring ethylene production across a wide range of fruit

or floral types and is especially suitable for managing ethylene

emissions from perishable cut produce products.

The F-950 is ideal for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

applications. Most MAP gas analyzers are only equipped to

measure CO2and/or O2concentrations. Quality assurance for

perishable cut produce demands a more comprehensive

analysis. The F-950 makes it possible to respond to the change

in ripening gases to ensure longer shelf-life and higher quality

commodities.

We hope you enjoy using your F-950 Three Gas Analyzer.

Features

Portable, lightweight and easy to operate.

Rapid response time, with data points saved every second.

Repeatable, precise measurements.

Three versatile modes of operation

Measure in Continuous, Fixed Volume, or Trigger mode depending on

your application.

True sunlight readable transflective display.

The contrast of the display increases under brighter sunlight.

Removable, re-chargeable standard sized batteries.

Included stand-alone battery charger enables charging one battery

set while using another. Two sets of batteries are included with the

device. Additional button-top 19670 (or protected 18650) batteries

can be purchased from your preferred battery vendor.

Unpacking the F-950

The F-950 arrives with a hard-sided carrying case, two sets of

batteries and a charger, a removable 4 GB SD card, and several

accessory parts. The unit comes with an external conditioning

chamber and potassium permanganate (KMnO4), used to scrub

the air entering the system. A sampling port with needle is

included for fixed volume samples from packaging and an

external PolarCept filter for reducing interfering gases. The

sampling port is pictured below, connected to the intake.
