Description

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, and non-irritating gas that is highly toxic. It’s often referred to as the “silent killer” because it’s impossible to detect with human senses, and its presence can lead to severe health effects or death without warning.

Key Properties

  • Colourless, Odourless, Tasteless: Undetectable by human senses
  • Highly Toxic: Interferes with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen
  • Slightly Lighter Than Air: It mixes readily with air, but can still accumulate in enclosed spaces if not properly ventilated
  • Flammable: Can ignite and form explosive mixtures in high concentrations

The table above reflects the percentage response provided by the sensor (top row) when exposed to a known concentration of the target gas (column 1).
The numbers were measured under these environmental conditions: 20 °C (68 °F), 50% RH and 1 atm.
The specified cross-interference numbers apply to new sensors only and may vary with time as well as from sensor to sensor.
“-” means no data available.
This table is given as a reference only and is subject to change.

A combined gas cell for CO and H2S is also available for the MX6 gas detector and this sensor can be found on the link below

MX6 Replacement Sensor Cells

The MX6 gas detectors include field replaceable, plug-in sensors. The user can replace any sensor in the field and have the instrument in service after performing a simple field calibration. Up to 5 sensor can be installed, each in one or more specific location.
