Carbon Monoxide (CO) Sensor, MC | BW

The SR?M?MC is a precision replacement sensor from Honeywell BW Technologies, specifically designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO). This sensor uses the MICROceL® electrochemical technology, which is well suited for portable multi-gas detectors in industrial and safety-critical environments.

Key Features

• Gas Detected: Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Sensor Technology: Electrochemical (MICROceL)
• Measurement Range: 0 to 1,000 ppm CO
• Resolution: 1 ppm (can detect changes in CO concentration at 1 ppm levels)
• Operating Temperature: –4°F to +122°F (–20°C to +50°C)
• Compatibility: Compatible with BW / Honeywell GasAlert detectors, for example:
  • GasAlert MicroClip XT / X3
  • GasAlert Max XT II

Functional Benefits

• Reliable CO Detection: Enables accurate monitoring of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and potentially lethal gas, making it essential for safety in confined spaces or industrial environments.
• Plug-and-Play Replacement: The SR?M?MC sensor is designed for easy replacement in compatible BW detectors, minimizing downtime during maintenance. ITM+1
• Long-Term Stability: ELECTROCHEMICAL sensor technology provides a stable response, ensuring accurate readings over its operational life.
• Robust Operating Conditions: The wide temperature operating range allows usage in both cold and hot environments typical of industrial sites.

Use Cases / Applications

• Portable Gas Monitoring: Ideal for handheld gas detectors used by safety personnel, maintenance teams, and inspectors in industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and confined space work.
• Sensor Replacement / Maintenance: Used when the existing CO sensor in a GasAlert detector reaches its end-of-life or fails bump tests/calibration.
• Safety Compliance: Helps maintain safety compliance by ensuring the gas detector can continue to reliably detect CO leaks or accumulation.

Important Considerations

• Calibration: After sensor replacement, the detector should be calibrated as per manufacturer guidelines to ensure accurate CO measurement.
• Bump Testing: Regular bump tests (function checks) are recommended to verify the sensor’s responsiveness.
• Storage & Handling: Store the sensor as per manufacturer’s recommendation to avoid contamination or degradation of its electrochemical cell.
• Lifespan: The sensor has a finite operational life (as is common with electrochemical sensors), so schedule periodic replacements based on usage intensity and exposure to CO.
