Rapidox 6100 QU4D Multi-Gas Pumpback Analyser
Product Information
The new Rapidox 6100 QU4D is a fully automatic zero-emissions multi-gas pumpback analyser for measuring gas compartments containing SF6 – C4-FN – C5-FK – Clean Air, all combined in a single portable instrument.
The modular design allows the purchase of only the gas types required with the potential to upgrade the instrument in the future. The Rapidox will measure the gas purity, water-content and contamination gases in each gas type in all current high voltage switchgear, circuit breakers and transformers as well as gas bottles. It is a fully portable lithium battery powered instrument.

Exceptional accuracy and stability are provided when measuring the purity of the compartment gas, through specially selected sensors. The modular configuration allows for up to eight compatible gases to be analysed in each gas type, simultaneously, using one analyser.
The Rapidox is fully compatible with mixtures of SF6 & CF4, C4-FN & CO2/O2, C5-FK & CO2 and Clean Air mixtures of N2 and O2, together with toxic contamination gases such as SO2, HF, H2S & CO in SF6, CO C4-FN & C5-FK and NO2 in Clean Air. The unit also measures the water content of the gas in dewpoint or ppm to ensure dryness is acceptable.
The Rapidox 6100 QU4D is housed neatly into a tough Peli transport case and supplied with sample hoses, DN8 and DN20 coupling accessories. Once powered and connected, the operator can select which gas type to work with and the Rapidox configures the measurement screen correctly. If the user is changing gas type, the unit will run a purge cycle to clean the existing gas from the analyser and into an external recovery bag. During the measurement, the Rapidox automatically removes a small quantity of pressurised gas from the electrical equipment or gas cylinder, controlled with an auto gas pressure sensing function.
A vacuum purge cycle and internal gas storage system ensures that no air can contaminate the gas sample and that no test gas is able to escape during the testing period. Safety features are built in to ensure the cycle is completed correctly without gas loss or cross contamination. The analyser is pre-programmed with all current IEC and CIGRE test configurations, and has the ability to create customised test parameters.
