Notes: - Measurement is
underestimated if oxygen
level is < 10%
- Exposure to high levels of
silicon or sulphur vapors
may damage the detector.
- The detector is sensitive to
a majority of explosive gases
- Presence of high levels of CO
2
can lead to an
over estimation of O
2
concentration
- Exposure to high levels of
organic solvents can damage the
sensors.
- Exposure to gases at higher
levels than detector’s range can
damage it Recalibrate sensors if
they go out of range.
