8.3 Interference Table
Reference Table 4 Interfering Gases to match the interfering gas symbol with the gas name. Then refer to
Table 5 Cross Interference Table which extends for 5 pages, with each sensor specific gas repeated in each
section of the table, for a column listing of 40 gases. The list is followed by a row of 14 possible interfering
gases per page. Review each page for the applicable sensor gas and then scan across the row for possible
interference gases.
