Appendix D Toxic Sensor Cross-Sensitivity The table below provides the cross-sensitivity response of the MultiPro toxic gas sensors to common interference gases. The values are expressed as a percentage of the primary sensitivity, or the reading of the sensor when exposed to 100ppm of the interfering gas at 20ºC.
General Biosystems, LLC (hereafter Biosystems) warrants gas detectors, sensors and accessories manufactured and sold by Biosystems, to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the periods listed in the tables below. Damages to any Biosystems products that result from abuse, alteration, power fluctuations including surges and lightning strikes, incorrect voltage settings, incorrect batteries, or repair procedures not made in accordance with the Instrument’s Reference Manual are not covered by the Biosystems standard...
