Sensor Replacement
You should take note of your “Fsc” Number and “nA” Number before installing a new sensor.
The “Fsc” number is programmed into the Pro CO Analyzer at the “Fct” and “Fsc” setting.
This information will be used to program the Pro CO analyzer after the sensor is installed.
Be sure to dispose of spent, leaking, or damaged Sensors properly, according to local
regulations.
Do not swallow (ingest) either the electrolyte from the Sensor or the Sensor itself. The
Potassium hydroxide chemical contained in the Sensor will cause severe injury or
death. If electrolyte or the Sensor is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
If after handling the Analyzer or Sensor, you find that your fingers or other parts of
your body feel “slippery” or the skin or eyes sting, immediately flush affected area
with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. The stinging or slippery sensation is an
indication of a leaking Sensor. The Potassium Hydroxide chemical contained in the
Sensor can cause severe injury or death. Seek immediate medical attention if eye
contact is made or skin stinging persists.
8.2.1 Handling Sensors
Replacement Sensors are supplied in sealed bags. Normally Sensors do not present a health
hazard. Before opening the bag, check that the electrolyte has not leaked. However, if
electrolyte leakage has occurred, do not open bag. Dispose of Sensor properly or return for
replacement.
If electrolyte leakage occurs while the Sensor is in service, use rubber gloves and chemical
splash goggles for handling. Rinse contaminated surfaces thoroughly with water.
