regulations apply, a bump test must be performed according to the national
regulations.
Faulty adjustment may result in incorrect measuring results, with possible
serious consequences.
The CatEx sensor is intended for measurements of flammable gases and vapours
mixed with air (i.e. O content ≈ 21 vol.%). Incorrect measured values may be
