Cross Sensitivities
The gas transmitter measures the concentration of hydrocarbons. Factory-preset calibration parameters are available for
methane, propane and ethylene gases. However, other hydrocarbons can also be measured. The following text has examples
of typical display values for some types of hydrocarbon, with the gas transmitter calibrated in the respectively stated gas
category.
