  • Page 95 ISSUE 08 - 02/04 2302M5030 8. ROUTINE SERVICING The sensors fitted to Impact may give responses to gases other then the target gas. The table below gives typical sensor responses to various gases and should be used as a guide only. Note: Always use the target gas to perform sensor calibrations.
