• The EAGLE 2 provides the catalytic combustible sensor with some
protection against exposure to high levels of combustible gas which can
damage the sensor. It does this by turning off the combustible sensor
power temporarily when it determines that an over scale (more than 100%
LEL) concentration of combustible gas is present that may damage the
sensor. Nevertheless, concentrations of combustible gas of more than
100% LEL can still affect the zero level or calibration of the combustible
sensor if the concentration is high enough.
CAUTION: Do not expose the catalytic combustible sensor to high
concentrations of combustible gas such as that from a butane
lighter. Exposure to high concentrations of combustible gas may
adversely affect the performance of the sensor.
