7.1 8.4.10 Sensitivity coefficient to electrical voltage
The sensitivity coefficient to electrical voltage shall not exceed 0.30 µmol/mol/V (i.e.
0.35 mg/m³/V).
7.2 Test procedure
The sensitivity coefficient of electrical voltage shall be determined at both ends of the speci-
fied voltage range at zero concentration and at a concentration around 70 % to 80 % of the
maximum of the certification range of carbon monoxide. After waiting the time equivalent to
one independent measurement, three individual measurements at each voltage and concen-
tration level shall be recorded.
The voltage dependence in accordance with Standard DIN EN 14626 is calculated from:

7.3 Testing
For the purpose of testing the voltage sensitivity coefficient, a transformer was interposed be-
tween the analyser and the voltage supply. Sample gas was fed at various voltages at zero
and span point.
7.4 Evaluation
The following sensitivity coefficients to electrical voltage resulted from the tests:
