Cross sensitivities
The table shows the reactions of the sensor to other gases than the measured gas (cross sensitivities). The listed values are typ-
ical and are valid for new sensors. The table does not lay a claim on completeness. Gas mixtures can be displayed as the sum of
all components. Gases with negative sensitivity can cancel out a positive sensor display. The influence of the O
2
displacement is
in not taken into account in the table.
Example:
With 2 Vol.-% ethylene in the air – measurement value deviation due to cross sensitivities (table value) = –1 Vol.-% O

Principle of measurement: The DrägerSensor O
2
-LS (6809630) is an electrochemical three-electrode-sensor for measurement of oxygen
(O
2
) in air. The sensor can only be operated in connection with a suitable Dräger transmitter. The sensor cannot
be used for oxygen measurements in the presence of helium!
