Sensor characteristic description
Use and care
Conditions that must be prohibited
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to volatile silicide vapor, although the sensor has passed the anti-silane poisoning test under the US SAE-J3089 standard, it should still be avoided for a long time in the presence of silicone binders, silicone rubber, hairspray, putty, or other places containing silicone plastic additives.
-
Avoid highly corrosive environment, the sensor is exposed to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as sulfide, chlorine, fluorine, acid gas, etc.), which will not only cause corrosion and damage to the sensor shell and internal structure but also cause irreversible changes in the properties of sensitive materials.
-
Alkali, alkali metal salts, halogen contamination sensors contaminated by alkali metal salt spray, or exposure to high concentrations of halogens (such as iodine vapor, freon, etc.), can also cause performance deterioration.
-
If the voltage applied to the sensor is higher than the specified value, it will cause damage to the internal core structure of the sensor, resulting in irreversible damage.
Conditions to avoid as much as possible -
Avoid working in high concentration gas for a long time as much as possible, such as a direct spray of Hydrogen gas to the sensor, and the combustible gas will have a strong catalytic combustion reaction in the core area of the sensor, which will affect the stability of the sensor.
-
Long-term storage of sensors. Stored for a long time without power, should be in a sealed bag with clean air and free of silicone.
-
Avoid long-term exposure to extreme environments as much as possible, regardless of whether the sensor is powered on or not, and the sensor performance will be affected by prolonged exposure to extreme conditions such as high temperature, high humidity or high pollution.
-
Avoid vibration or shock as much as possible, the sensor can pass the vibration and shock test of the automotive level, but frequent and excessive vibration will cause the core structure of the sensor to rupture and cause sensor damage. If the sensor is subjected to a strong impact, or if it is dropped beyond the specified range, it can also cause damage to the sensor.
Sensor maintenance
The sensor senses gas concentration based on gas diffusion and passes through
a waterproof breathable film. Please regularly check whether the waterproof
breathable film is blocked to prevent gas from entering the sensing head
cavity. It is recommended to inspect the sensor air inlet every 3 months to
ensure its smoothness. If any damage or blockage is found to the waterproof
breathable film, please replace it immediately.
