|
8% LEL, 50% to 100% LEL reading or 0.40 % CH4, 2.50 % to 5.00 % CH4 (extended temperature range) |
Response Time (Typical) |
90% of final reading <15 seconds(pentane) <10 seconds (methane) (normal temperature range) |
5.4.2 Oxygen
The oxygen sensor has built-in temperature compensation. However, if temperature shifts dramatically, the oxygen sensor reading may shift.
Zero the instrument at the work place temperature for the least effect.
Range |
0 to 30 vol.% O2 |
Resolution |
0.1 vol.% O2 |
Reproducibility |
0.7 vol.% O2 for 0 to 30 vol.% O2 |
|
0.7% O2 for O2 < = 15% (MSHA version only) |
|
0.5% O2, for O2: 15%
|
Response time (Typical) |
90% of final reading <10 seconds (normal temperature range) |
Oxygen Sensor Cross-Sensitivity |
The oxygen sensor has no common cross-sensitivities |
5.4.3 Carbon Monoxide
