TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR KE-SERIESTECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR KE-SERIES
should immediately be placed into a plastic bag. The
liquid electrolyte is a weak aqueous acid solution
(pH=5~6) with an irritating odor. The liquid is non-
ammable. Since this solution contains lead acetate,
which is harmful to humans, contact with this liquid
should be avoided.
In case the liquid electrolyte contacts the skin or
clothing, wash with soapy water and rinse generously
with plain water. If the liquid electrolyte contacts
the eye, ush with water for at least 15 minutes
and obtain immediate medical assistance. In case of
breathing in of the electrolyte, ush the nasal cavity
thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical
assistance. If the electrolyte is swallowed, rinse the
mouth thoroughly with water and seek immediate
medical assistance.
5-11 Disposal
Spent KE-series oxygen sensors and leaked liquid
electrolyte should be disposed with utmost caution
to avoid environmental pollution, e.g. by entrusting
it to industrial waste disposal specialists.
5-12 When designing equipment using KE-series oxygen
sensors
Sensor characteristics may be affected by
environmental conditions of use, such as ambient
temperature, humidity, gas pressure, ow rate, etc.
Sensor performance should be evaluated under actual
operating conditions before usage.
6. Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability
KE-series oxygen sensors shall be warranted for 12
months after the date of purchase from Figaro.
Provided that return of the sensor to Figaro is made
within the warranty period, if it is determined upon
reasonable inspection tests that any of the following
defects exists, returned sensors will be replaced free
of charge with a new sensor of the identical model:
1) The output voltage of the sensor in normal air
at 25˚C±1˚C/60±5%RH and atmospheric pressure
of 1013±5hPa is 70% or less than the initial output
voltage under the standard test conditions.
2) The output voltage change is not proportional to
the change in oxygen concentration.
The warranty of the replacement sensor will
continue for the warranty period of the original KE-
series product.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY IN THE
EVENT OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY
INSTRUCTIONS OR CAUTIONS PROVIDED
BY FIGARO, AND TO ANY KE-SERIES
PRODUCTS OR PORTIONS THEREOF WHICH
HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO ABUSE, MISUSE,
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, STORAGE OR
MAINTENANCE, OR IMPROPER OPERATION
UNDER THE CONDITIONS WHICH DEVIATE
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM NORMAL AMBIENT
AIR AND TEMPERATURE.

USE OF THE KE-SERIES PRODUCTS.
KE-series oxygen sensors are designed, manufact-
ured and tested for industrial application only, and
that the products are not designed, manufactured,
tested, or intended specically for use in or
incorporation into articial respirators, ventilators
and/or other equipment for medical application,
or subassembly modules or parts thereof (“Medical
devices”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing above, in case that
the purchaser intends to use the KE-series products
for incorporation into or with the Medical devices,
which is against the foregoing, the purchaser shall
assume all risk for such use, and make an assessment
and judgement on tness of the KE-series products
for such use in the Medical devices and on safety
of the Medical devices using the KE-series products
based on evaluations of reliability of the KE-
series products to be carried out by the purchaser
as required for such use through a thorough
understanding of the contents in this Technical
Information and other technical information
provided by the Seller.
