Application Notes
- Sensor shall Avoid organic solvent, coatings, medicine, oil, and high-concentration gases;
- All ME Sensors shall not be encapsulated completely by resin materials, and shall not immerse in an oxygen-free environment, otherwise, it will damage the function of the sensor;
- All ME sensors shall not be applied in a corrosive gas environment, or the sensor will be damaged;
- Please test the sensitivity of gas sensors in a clean atmosphere;
- Sensors Shall be avoided to face the gas, which flows directly from the front side;
- To avoid to bend and breaking pins;
- Blowhole of the sensor should not be blocked and polluted, which will cause the sensitivity to decrease;
- Excessive impact or vibration should be avoided;
- Do not use the sensor when the shell is damaged;
- It takes some time for the sensor to return to its normal state After being applied to high-concentration gas;
