Tips: What factors can affect the performance of this HCl gas sensor?
Several factors can influence the accuracy and longevity of the sensor:
- Temperature & Humidity: The sensor operates within -30°C to 50°C and 15%RH to 90%RH (non-condensing). Extreme temperatures can affect sensor response, while high humidity may introduce minor signal drift.
- Gas Interference: While the sensor is designed to be highly selective, exposure to gases such as SO₂, NO₂, and H₂S may cause slight cross-sensitivity effects. However, advanced filtering techniques minimize these impacts.
- Calibration Frequency: Over time, sensor readings may drift due to electrode aging or environmental exposure. Regular calibration every 3-6 months ensures ongoing accuracy.
- Long-Term Exposure to High Concentrations: Prolonged exposure to HCl levels near or beyond the maximum load concentration (100 ppm for the 0-50 ppm model, 1000 ppm for the 0-500 ppm model) may lead to temporary saturation or degradation of sensor components.
