Introduction
♦ CO Sensor consists of a sensor and an electrode. The electrode is a mixing CO sensitive component containing thermistor. There is solid positive ion electrolyte between two electrodes. When it is exposed in CO, electrochemistry reaction will occur.
Usage
♦ Connect electrode to sensor, datalogger and computer.
♦ Open SWR iLab. CO Sensor has been calibrated before manufacturing. Expose CO Sensor electrode in the air with CO and click ‘Start’ to collect data.
♦ After measuring, click ‘Stop’ to finish the experiment.
♦ Observe and analyze the experimental result.
Notes
♦ CO Sensor needs to be preheated before using.
♦ Do not touch it to liquid or other organic matter. Use and preserve it in dry place. Otherwise, those matters could damage the electrode.
♦ CO Sensor electrode has limited service life according to its working principle.
♦ Data display will be delay due to electrochemistry.
♦ CO is kind of flammable and combustible gas. It can form explosive mixture with air and explode when it meets open fire or high temperature.
♦ The explosion limitation of CO and gas mixture is 12%~75%.
♦ The CO Sensor electrode is gas-permeable membrane electrode. Try not to break the membrane during using.
