DrägerSensor COCl2 – 68 09 930

Data Sheet
This data sheet is a sensor specific supplement to the "Instructions for Use" of the respective transmitter. Please consult in any event the
"Instructions for Use" of the transmitter.

Intended Use
The DrägerSensor COCl2 is an electrochemical three electrode sensor for the continuous real-time monitoring of phosgene gas (COCl2) in
ambient air. The sensor is designed to be used only in conjunction with a Dräger transmitter (e. g. Polytron 2).

* Only applicable when used in conjunction with Polytron 2 or Polytron 2 XP.
** At 25 °C (77 °F), 1013 hPa (29.2" Hg at 32 °F), 50 % r.h.
*** At this time, the actual zero point error of the sensor is less than 4 times the value stated in this data sheet.
**** At this time, the sensor has reached its specific accuracy.
Cross Sensitivities
The table shows the response of the sensor to other gases than target gas (cross sensitivities). The values are typical and apply to new sensors.
The table does not claim to be complete. Gas mixtures can be displayed as the sum of all components. Gases with negative cross sensitivity may
displace a positive reading of the sensor.
