3 Cautions when using gas sensors
1. Exposure to silicone vapours
If silicone vapours adsorb onto the sensor’s surface, the internal sensing element maybe be
coated, irreversibly inhibiting sensitivity. Avoid exposure where silicone adhesives, hair grooming
materials or silicone rubber/putty may be present.
2. Highly corrosive environment
Exposure to corrosive materials such as H2S, SOx, Cl2, HCl, etc. for extended periods may
cause irreversible damage to the sensor.
3. Water
Sensor performance maybe adversely affected due to soaking, splashing or water condensing on
the sensor surface. Exposure to salt water spray will adversely affected sensor performance.
Light condensation under conditions of indoor usage should not pose a problem for sensor
performance.
4. Freezing
If freezing occurs on the sensor’s surface irreversible damage may occur to the internal sensing
element.
5. Usage in high density of gas
Sensor performance maybe adversely affected if exposed to a high density of gas for a long
period of time.
6. Explosive Limits
Different combustible gasses have their own Lower Explosive Limits (LEL). Our gas sensors are
calibrated against 20% LEL LPG in Air.
7. False positive alarms
False positive alarms can be caused by differing concentrations of various aerosols, perfumes,
resins, epoxies, paints, solvents, alcohol, hydrogen, gases and fuels.
