SONIMIX 6000 C1
Permeation multigas calibrator
The multipoint multigas calibrator SONIMIX 6000C1 is an instrument designed to calibrate manually or by remote control up to 5 gas monitors installed in an Air pollution monitoring station, such as SO2, HC or BTX, CO, NOx and O3.
With the optional Ozone generator and GPT circuitry it is possible to verify the coherence of NO, NO2 and O3 analysers, and to determine the converter’s efficiency of the NOx monitors.
The interface allows to Configure the calibrator and to perform the manual operations of calibrations and GPT necessary after the maintenance process on the analysers.
Equipped with a binary gas mixer, based on high precision mass flow controllers and mechanical pressure regulators the SONIMIX 6000C1 can generate accurate dilution to low ppb level.
Options :
– Permeation oven of different sizes and material (up to 3 permeation oven per device), with a specific oven able to contain up to 6 BTEX permeation tubes.
– Ozone generator and GPT circuits.

Calibrator or gas mixer: which one should you choose based on your application?
The term “calibrator” is often used when the primary application is the calibration of a gas analyzer or sensor. The term “gas mixer” is more commonly used when the objective is to generate a specific gas mixture.
Generating a gas mixture can serve different purposes, such as supplying an instrument, simulating a process gas, or calibrating an analyzer or sensor. In many cases, a gas mixer and a calibrator are essentially the same device, with the terminology depending mainly on the intended application.
Is it suitable for audit or official regulatory inspection environments?
Yes, all systems can be linked to the national standards.
Does the system require periodic maintenance or frequent recalibration?
The Sonic Nozzle technology provides unmatched stability, resulting in minimal drift and a recommended service interval of two years.
Does the system reduce logistics and gas storage costs?
Yes, our gas mixer helps reduce the number of gas cylinders required. Using a single high-concentration gas cylinder, the gas mixer can generate multiple concentration levels by dilution with a carrier gas.
This reduces the number of cylinders needed, lowers costs, and simplifies the associated logistics and cylinder management.
Can the system operate in continuous mode (24/7)?
Some customer are running our system in their production (24/7), no problem.
Can solenoid cylinder switching valves be directly controlled via the software?
Yes, all valves within the system are controlled automatically by the software.
Does the software log all events (flows, cylinder changes, errors) to ensure traceability and audit compliance?
Yes, the log allows to track the operational events.
Is it possible to program automatic multi-point calibration sequences?
Yes, all devices include a sequence mode which allows to build a calibration sequence to automatize a calibration process.
Is an accredited calibration certificate provided for the entire system?
LNI Swissgas is accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025 for flow measurement calibrations. An ISO/IEC 17025 calibration certificate can be supplied with every device.
