The TCA08 is our revolutionary new instrument that provides a real-time analysis of the Total Carbon content of a sampled aerosol stream. It is explicitly designed for “on-line” ambient-air monitoring and laboratory use.
The TCA08 is rugged, field-worthy instrument that uses NO GAS, contains NO GLASS, and requires NO CATALYST.
Complete Characterization of Carbonaceous Aerosols:
Combination of TCA08 with AE33 Aethalometer
The combination of the Aethalometer AE33 with the Total Carbon Analyzer TCA08 provides a complete identification of the carbonaceous component of ambient aerosols in near-Real-Time:
BC (‘EC’) ; BrC ; OC : TC
Note: The AE 33 Aethalometer must be running software version 1.4.4.0 or greater. If needed, please download this from the Magee Scientific User’s group website.
WHAT’S NEW IN 1.2.0.0. SOFTWARE VERSION?
Sensors
Ames_VMT107 wind sensor.
On-Line Report
Average ambient CO2 value (ppm) is reported in on-line results.
Error reporting
CO2 Error: CO2 sensors ppm values exceed operating range. CO2 sensor needs to be serviced.
Online measurements
Automatic online measurements restart at power failures.
Bug fixes
User manual available in two different languages

SW 1.2.0.0. installation notes
Storage warning was implemented in this software release. If database size exceeds limit value, you might be asked to delete old Data rows. Only diagnostic data on 1-sec time base will be deleted. However, we still recommend to export database to USB stick before deleting any data.

This new software version (1.2.0.0) is compatible with all series S00 Total Carbon Analyzers. Firmware version 304 or greater is required.
If your Total Carbon Analyzer is using a Firmware version lower than 304, please consult us before upgrading the software.
The updated User’s Manual for the TCA08 Total Carbon Analyzer can be downloaded after log in or signing up for a free User’s Group account at www.mageesci.com website.
