SENSOR HANDLING
CAUTION
IMPROPER HANDLING
- Do not remove the sensor from its original protective packaging until it is ready to be installed.
- Do not touch the sensor surface. Use latex finger cots. Handle the sensor by its package edges or leads.
- Do not allow objects to enter the cavity of the sensor element.
- Do not allow debris or contaminants to accumulate on the filter.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
SENSOR CLEANING
CAUTION: IMPROPER CLEANING Insert and solder the sensor after the PCB cleaning process.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
SENSOR POSITIONING
CAUTION: IMPROPER SENSOR POSITIONING
-
For better product reliability, the sensor is factory-shipped with a protective tape on the cover (sensing face). This tape must remain in place during soldering.
-
After soldering, remove the protective tape as described below to activate the sensor.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage. -
Automated: Use a no-clean flux. Limit the contact of the flux to the leads only. Reflow soldering profile specified by J- STD-020D for a small package is a peak temperature of 260 C [500 F] for 30 s.
-
Manual: Do not exceed 350 C [662 F] for 4 s max.
MOISTURE SEALING THE LEADS
If, in the presence of intermittent moisture or other contaminants, there is
the possibility of galvanic paths between the leads, moisture seal the leads
and exposed pads prior to removing the protective tape.
PROTECTIVE TAPE REMOVAL
- Use proper ESD protection.
- Using covered fingers or tweezers to ensure that no debris falls into the filter, sensor cover or die, grip the overhanging front edge of the protective tape and peel it back from the top surface of the sensor. (See Figure 1.)
- Ensure the complete rectangle of protective tape is removed.
SENSOR REHYDRATION
NOTICE: SENSOR REHYDRATION
- Exposure to elevated temperatures, such as those experienced during solder reflow, may dry out the sensing element. It is recommended that the sensor be allowed time to rehydrate after soldering or other high temperature/dry exposures.
- Exposure to these conditions will not permanently damage the sensor. It will generally return to its factory-calibrated value after rehydration.
- If rehydration is not performed, the sensor may read a slight offset that slowly disappears over time as the sensor becomes exposed to ambient conditions. Conversely, extended exposure to condensing and high humidity environments (>90 %RH) may cause a revisable shift in readings which will generally return to normal after the sensor has been allowed to dry off.
To rehydrate the sensor, expose it to room temperature under ambient conditions (>50 %RH) for a minimum of five hours.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
- DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury.
- The sensor’s housing does not provide electrical safety isolation. Mount the sensor in a location where it cannot be touched, or where a surrounding barrier prevents human contact.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
