Note : This table is provided as a guide only and is subject to change. The data reflect the percentage response of the sensor type when
exposed to a known concentration of a target gas. For example, when the carbon monoxide sensor is exposed to carbon monoxide in the air
sample, the gas concentration reading accurately reflects the actual concentration of carbon monoxide, so the sensor's response is said to be
100%. When an air sample contains hydrogen, it triggers a carbon monoxide reading. The carbon monoxide sensor's response to hydrogen is
approximately 24% meaning that exposure to 100 ppm hydrogen will produce a reading of approximately 24 ppm carbon monoxide.
