Electrochemical sensors (oxygen and carbon monoxide)
Electrochemical sensors contain toxic compounds. Under normal conditions the sensor will be safely
sealed. To prevent leakage, the unit must not be exposed to temperatures outside the specified range,
or be exposed to organic vapours, which may cause physical damage to the body of the sensor. The
unit must not be stored in areas containing organic solvents or in flammable liquid stores.
When the life of the sensor has expired or it is leaking or otherwise damaged it must be disposed of
safely in accordance with local regulations.
The carbon monoxide cell contains an acidic electrolyte (sulphuric acid) whilst the oxygen cell contains caustic
electrolyte (potassium hydroxide). In the event of an accident, use the following first aid procedures.
