The AP200 intake assembly (pn 27693) includes an orifice to set the flow rate,

a filter that removes particulates, and a rain diverter to admit a sample of

ambient air without allowing precipitation to enter. The rain diverter is heated

to prevent condensation. The intake assembly includes a mixing volume to

dampen fluctuations in ambient concentrations of CO
