Introduction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The world wide use of multigas portable personal safety monitors has grown since the 1970s to include an ever increasing number of industries. The one requirement in common to the majority of these instruments is the need to measure both Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide simultaneously. Alphasense now offers a compact dual gas sensor which allows designers to reduce significantly instrument size and cost. The D sensor provides a unique approach to the dual gas sensor in both its size and working electrode configuration. The use of a high capacity filter over the Carbon Monoxide working electrode eliminates Carbon Monoxide cross sensitivity to Hydrogen Sulfide. Adoption of the QD2 in portable instrument designs enables accurate factory, service and field calibration of instruments using multi-component gases without the fear of incorrect calibration of the Carbon Monoxide channel, providing reduced instrument manufacturing and service costs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note: Above 85% rh and 40OC a maximum continuous exposure period of 10 days is warranted. Where such exposure occurs the sensor will recover normal electrolyte volumes, when allowed to rest at lower %rh and temperature levels for several days. NOTE: all sensors are tested at ambient environmental conditions, with 10 ohm load resistor, unless otherwise stated. As applications of use are outside our control, the information provided is given without legal responsibility. Customers should test under their own conditions, to ensure that the sensors are suitable for their own requirements. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
