The ADOS TOX 914 LON® CO gas measurement sensor uses a method where the air to be measured is diffused into a chemical measuring cell. The H+ ions and electrons released at the electrode are consumed in a cathode reaction.
The low of current between anode and cathode generated during this process is directly proportional to the CO concentration in the measured air.
The sensor current is amplified and applied via the LON® field bus of an evaluation unit e.g. FlexADOS 914 LON®, where the measured variable is processed and displayed in ppm CO together with any possibly necessary control and warning functions.
