SenSmart 1000 Series - Fixed Gas Detector - LIST OF DETECTABLE GASES
by RC Systems
- The table below lists all of the gases detected, with the sensor characteristics for each. If some of the gas types appear multiple times, look closely; the sensor specification differs in some way, such as the min/max span, or the sensor response time.
- The SenSmart 1000, 5000 and 6000 Series accept all of the sensor types that RC Systems offers: Catalytic Bead (CB), Electro-Chemical (EC), Infrared (IR), and Photo-Ionization-Detector (PID).
- When configuring online your 1000, 5000 or 6000 Series Gas Detector with SensorPros, you will be able to choose which sensor type for a particular gas you want, based on your application. The table below is only a partial list of the gases detected. If a gas is not listed, please call us; we can probably help you find a solution.
