Gas flow rate : 1.0 l/min ±20%
Air velocity : 0 ... 6 m/s
Calibration must only be carried out if wind speed is < 1.5 m/s.
Using the Weather Protection Cap will extend the response time to:
t
90
< 80 sec for methane / t
90
< 130 sec for propane
The signals will be reduced by up to 20% when using the weather protection cap. This must be taken into consideration
