1. Overview: 1.1. Introduction The GDA 2500 Series gas sensors have a loop powered 4-20 mA transmitter with an electrochemical gas sensor module. The gas sensor transmitter is a current loop powered device which provides a 4-20 mA current value corresponding to the target gas concentration present. It accepts a range of electrochemical sensor modules see Table 2 for gas types and ranges.
To remain within an allowed drift of #% of Full Scale output. If target gas is expected to be present during normal operation the calibration period of the sensing element will be reduced Gas Detection (Australia) Pty Ltd Page 7 of 20...
