CAP3201 GO

Combined gas analyser & stand-alone smoke meter

Standalone | Multi-fuel | Made in France

A combined standalone multi-gas analyser and smoke meter, the CAP3201 GO monitors emissions from petrol and diesel engines: cars, two-wheelers, lorries, commercial vehicles and motorhomes. Robust and compact, its dual mode enables both pre-inspection checks and in-workshop emissions testing.

  • Combined gas analyser (petrol) and smoke meter (diesel)
  • Analysis of 4 gases: HC, O₂, CO, CO₂
  • Dual mode: vehicle inspection and diagnostics
  • Thermal printer and LCD display
  • Piezo or induction tachometer sensor
  • Mobile test bench, optional NOx

Description

opacimètre poids lourds avec sonde de prélèvement chauffee

Petrol and Diesel: a complete emissions testing station

The CAP3201 GO combines, in a single stand-alone unit, a multi-gas analyser for petrol, LPG and CNG engines, and a smoke meter for diesel engines. A single unit monitors emissions from the entire vehicle fleet: cars, mopeds, motorbikes, lorries, light commercial vehicles and motorhomes.

Robust and accurate, it is used in both technical inspection centres and car repair shops.

Zeroing and calibration of the smoke meter

Multi-gas analyser: the 4 combustion gases

The analyser measures the concentration of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂), and provides the lambda coefficient. It checks against regulatory thresholds and helps diagnose the quality of combustion.

Smoke meter: measuring diesel exhaust fumes

The smoke meter monitors the opacity of exhaust fumes emitted by diesel engines. Zeroing and calibration are automatic: the operator focuses on the procedure.

A stand-alone, mobile unit

Mounted on its mobile stand, the CAP3201 GO can be moved from one vehicle to another. It displays measurements on its LCD screen, prints the results immediately and can be fitted with a tachometer and the NOx option.

Frequently asked questions about the CAP3201 GO

What is the difference between the CAP3201 G, CAP3201 O and CAP3201 GO?

The CAP3201 G is a gas analyser for petrol, LPG and CNG engines; the CAP3201 O is a smoke meter for diesel engines. The CAP3201 GO combines both in a single stand-alone unit.

Which vehicles can be inspected using the CAP3201 GO?

The CAP3201 GO monitors the emissions from internal combustion engines in cars, mopeds, motorbikes, lorries, light vehicles and motorhomes.

Can the CAP3201 GO be used in a workshop?

Yes. Its dual mode allows for pre-inspection and emissions testing in workshops, in addition to use at technical inspection centres.

Does the smoke meter need to be calibrated manually?

No. The CAP3201 GO’s smoke meter is automatically zeroed and calibrated.
