Technical Data
Cross-Sensitivities Dräger PIR 7000 Type 340
The gas transmitter Dräger PIR 7000 Type 340 measures the concentration of many
hydrocarbons. It is not specific for the substances which are listed in the gas library with their
individual characteristics. Various substance-specific sensitivities must be taken into account
when specifying cross-sensitivities.
As an example, typical values for some types of hydrocarbons are listed below.
1) The conversion factors of %LEL to % vol. are indicated according to NIOSH for category 1, according to IEC 60079-20 for category
2, and according to Nabert / Schön (safety characteristics of flammable gases and vapours) for category 3.
2) Based on LEL values acc. to IEC, typically tolerance: ±5 %LEL.
Cross-Sensitivities Dräger PIR 7200
The gas transmitter Dräger PIR 7200 generally measures the concentration of carbon dioxide.
The cross-sensitivities to hydrocarbons are typically neglegible.
Substance CAS no.
