1 Safety information
1.1 Electrochemical sensors ( 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.
Carbon monoxide cell contains an acidic electrolyte (sulphuric acid). In the event of an
accident, use the following first aid procedures.
