Gastec CM-105B Carbon Monoxide Sensor

The Gastec CM-105B Carbon Monoxide Sensor stands as a primary solution for technical teams and system integrators requiring dependable toxic gas monitoring. Unlike standard sensing technologies, this sensor employs the controlled potential electrolysis method, which maintains a specific electrochemical state to ensure the high-selectivity oxidation of Carbon Monoxide. This process results in a stable electrical output directly proportional to the gas concentration, significantly reducing the risk of false readings from background gases.

Physically, the CM-105B is built for reliability and ease of integration. The vertical cylindrical design with a distinctive red cap ensures proper gas diffusion, while the specialized inlet ports at the base facilitate secure sampling connections. Its miniature footprint ($20 \times 36 \times 45$ mm) allows for high-density installation within stationary gas monitoring panels or portable instruments. For procurement specialists and engineers, this sensor represents a low-maintenance, high-integrity solution for maintaining workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

Features

  • Utilizes high-precision controlled potential electrolysis for selective CO detection.
  • Compact and lightweight design at just 24g for flexible system integration.
  • Fast response times to ensure immediate safety alerts and ventilation control.
  • Robust construction (CM-600 series) tailored for continuous industrial monitoring.
  • Stable linear output for accurate data logging and system calibration.

Maintenance and Replacement

  • Calibration Frequency: It is recommended to perform a full span calibration every 6 months using a certified Carbon Monoxide calibration gas.
  • Daily Checks: Perform a “bump test” before each shift to verify that the sensor responds to gas and all audio/visual alarms on the CM-600 are functional.
  • Replacement: If the CM-600 monitor displays a “Sensor Error” or fails to return to zero in fresh air, the CM-105B sensor likely needs to be replaced.

Applications

The Carbon monoxide sensorCM-105B is optimized for critical safety monitoring in the following industrial environments:

  • Boiler rooms and thermal power plants.
  • Underground parking garages and tunnel ventilation systems.
  • Steel manufacturing and metal processing facilities.
  • Chemical manufacturing and refinery safety protocols.
  • Integration into stationary toxic gas transmitters for warehouse safety.
