Product Overview
The Honeywell RAE Systems C03-0952-000 is a 4R+ electrochemical hydrogen chloride (HCl) sensor with a measuring range of 0 to 15 ppm at 1 ppm resolution (maximum overload 30 ppm). It is a plug-in replacement sensor for the ToxiRAE Pro, AreaRAE Plus, and AreaRAE Pro.
This sensor is not for the MultiRAE family. Honeywell states that MultiRAE instruments cannot use HF or HCl sensors because those gases react with the gas plate and are absorbed in the instrument. On AreaRAE Plus and AreaRAE Pro, firmware 1.06 or higher is required, and Honeywell advises against installing HF or HCl sensors in slots 2 or 5.
Specifications
- Sensor type: Electrochemical (4R+)
- Gas detected: Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
- Range: 0 to 15 ppm
- Maximum overload: 30 ppm
- Resolution: 1 ppm
- Bias / equilibration: 200 mV bias. TN-201 states that a freshly installed HF or HCl sensor needs at least 3 hours for the baseline to stabilize before calibration. Once installed, the bias remains on even when the instrument is off.
- Temperature range: -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C)
- Pressure range: Atmospheric ±10%
- Operating humidity: 15 to 95% RH, non-condensing
- Operating life: 15 months in air
- Warranty: 15 months from date of shipment
- Calibration span gas: 10 ppm HCl
- Calibration zero gas: Clean ambient air or zero air
Honeywell does not publish a T90 response time for this part in TN-114. HCl is a reactive, polar gas and is readily adsorbed or consumed in ordinary tubing, regulators, and fittings. Honeywell says sensor performance cannot be guaranteed unless the gas is delivered according to Technical Note TN-201 (Teflon tubing, a T-type pressure-equalizing fitting, and a pre-soaked gas path). Use 10 ppm hydrogen chloride calibration gas, balance nitrogen.
Store unused sensors in the original sealed packaging at 39°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C), gas-inlet side down. Honeywell recommends installing spare HF and HCl sensors within four weeks of receipt and keeping them away from solvent vapors, which can block or damage the electrodes or create a false baseline. Do not leave the gas inlet pointing upward for more than 12 hours a day.
Compatible Instruments
- Honeywell RAE Systems ToxiRAE Pro (PGM-1860 toxic-gas models)
- Honeywell RAE Systems AreaRAE Plus (firmware 1.06 or higher)
- Honeywell RAE Systems AreaRAE Pro (firmware 1.06 or higher)
Not compatible: MultiRAE Lite, MultiRAE, MultiRAE Pro, and other MultiRAE-family instruments.
