The AP200 is a complete, integrated CO2 and H2O atmospheric profile system. It measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) concentration from up to eight intakes, which are normally spaced along the height of a tower to give a vertical profile. The AP200 is often used in conjunction with an eddy-covariance system to measure the storage term and provide you with a more complete measure of the surface gas exchange.

A dewpoint generator is used as an H2O standard. Dewpoint generators are laboratory instruments and are not suitable for long-term deployment in the field.
If the pump fails, it must be replaced. Contact Campbell Scientific for details. For the process of returning equipment to Campbell Scientific, refer to the Repair and Calibration page.
The largest source of error in the LI-840A is CO2 and H2O zero (offset) drift with time and temperature. If it is not practical to do a span, it is still very helpful to do a zero; this is true for both CO2 and H2O.
The intake heaters are wired in parallel, so that each heater sees a nominal 12 Vdc.
The LI-840A uses a heater to maintain its sample cell at +50°C. Therefore, it consumes a lot more power at lower temperatures. Below 0°C, the valve heater also requires some power to keep the valves warm.
