The Model 205 Ozone Monitorä makes use of two detection cells to improve precision, baseline stability and response time. In the Dual Beam instrument, UV light intensity measurements Io (ozone-scrubbed air) and I (unscrubbed air) are made simultaneously. Combined with other improvements, this made it possible to reduce the time between ozone measurements to 2 seconds, making our instrument the fastest UV-based ozone monitor on the market, while still retaining the small size, weight and power requirements of our popular Model 202 Ozone Monitor. Fast measurements are especially desirable for aircraft and balloon measurements where high spatial resolution is desired. Alternatively, one can choose to average more points internally to obtain even better precision.
The Model 205 has all of the features of the Model 202, including choice of averaging time (2 s, 10 s, 1 min, 5 min, 1 hr), analog output (0-2.5 V), real time serial output, internal data logger with 3 analog inputs for simultaneous logging of other measurements (e.g., T, P and RH), real time clock, and optional flash memory.

Features
- Backup sampling pump and flow meter (now standard); if the flow rate drops below a critical value, the backup pump is activated and an indication displayed on the LCD
- Internal data logger (EEPROM), logs 14,336 lines of data
- Real time clock
- Both serial and user-scaleable analog voltage outputs (5-20 mA current output optional)
- Three 0-2.5 VDC analog inputs for logging other measurements, such as external temperature, pressure and humidity
- Convenient user interface to microprocessor, including calibration parameters (gain and zero)
- Selectable data averaging times of 10 s, 1 min, 5 min and 1 hr (custom averaging times available)
- DewLine™ for elimination of any water vapor interference, a unique feature of 2B Tech instruments
Options
- Flash Card Memory for virtually unlimited, portable data storage
- GPS for continuous logging of latitude, longitude and altitude
- Rechargeable metal hydride battery provides 12 hr of continuous operation
- External particle filter
- Serial-to-USB adapter
- Rotary vane air pump for low temperature and quiet operation
