CO cartridge

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas found in fumes from burning fuel in vehicles, engines, and appliances. Poor ventilation can lead to dangerous CO accumulation.

CO Cartridge Specifications
The CO cartridge uses an electrochemical sensor to measure CO levels from low concentrations (ppb) to higher levels (ppm). It is available in two types:
  • Type A: Measures up to 12,000 ppb, suitable for common concentration ranges.
  • Type B: Measures up to 500 ppm, optimized for higher ranges but less precise at low concentrations.
The cartridge is stable over time and can last longer than specified in non-extreme environments.

Performance Parameters
  • Limit of Detection (LOD): 10 ppb (A), 0.02 ppm (B)
  • Repeatability: 20 ppb (A), 0.05 ppm (B)
  • Response Time: < 30 sec (A), < 180 sec (B)
  • Accuracy: ± 80 ppb (A), ± 0.1 ppm (B)
  • Precision R2: > 0.85
  • Slope: 0.78 - 1.29
  • Intercept: -50 ppb ≤ a ≤ +50 ppb (A), -0.1 ppm ≤ a ≤ +0.1 ppm (B)
  • DQO - Typical U(exp): < 20%
  • Intra-model Variability: < 3 ppb (A), < 0.05 ppm (B)

Operational Conditions
  • Type: Electrochemical
  • Measurement Units: µg/m3, ppb (A); mg/m3, ppm (B)
  • Measurement Range: 0 - 12,000 ppb (A); 0 - 500 ppm (B)
  • Resolution: 1 ppb (A); 0.01 ppm (B)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -30 to 50 ºC
  • Operating RH Range: 0 to 99 %RH
  • Recommended RH Range: 15 to 90 %RH
  • Operating Life: > 24 months
  • Guarantee Range: 1,000 ppm

Health Implications
CO is harmful as it prevents oxygen absorption in the blood, leading to potential illness or death with prolonged exposure at high concentrations.

Catalog excerpts

CO cartridge-1

Carbon monoxide (CO) is found in fumes produced any time fuel burns in cars or trucks, small engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, fireplaces, gas ranges, or furnaces. Improperly ventilated appliances and engines, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate until dangerous levels. CO is an odourless and colorless pollutant. When CO is inhaled into the body, it mixes with the blood avoiding oxygen absorption. The CO exposure of a person at high concentrations over a certain period of time can cause illness and even death. Thecarbon monoxide cartridgehas a built-in electrochemical sensor with very low electronic noise allowing the measurement from very low concentrations (ppb) up to several ppm. To cover different applications, there are two measurement ranges: • Type A: measures most common concentration range up to 12,000 ppb. • Type B: optimised for a higher range version that can measure up to 500 ppm, not so precise at low concentrations. This cartridge is very stable over time and, in non- extreme environments, can last several months longer than specified.
