Answers

#SensorFAQs – Q17 1/6 | Minimal cross-sensitivity with other gases has been observed with the LuminOx technology (luminescence quenching by oxygen is highly selective).

Such gases such as CO2, H2S and He have not caused issues, as where they may have with other types of sensors. https://t.co/i79Lfi3mVM

#SensorFAQs – Q17 2/6 | Though these observations are not exhaustive and customers often want to use the sensors with gas or within environmental combinations that have not been tested before.

A test should always be carried out using a sensor of your chosen specification. https://t.co/i79Lfi3mVM

#SensorFAQs – Q17 3/6 | Once compatibility testing is complete, the sensor should be tested in accordance with its operating procedure to ensure it remains functional and within specification… https://t.co/i79Lfi3mVM

#SensorFAQs – Q17 4/6 | …If the sensor passes its functional test, then the gas can be considered to be compatible with the sensor. https://t.co/i79Lfi3mVM

#SensorFAQs – Q17 5/6 | Please note that the environmental conditions for the sensor should be non-condensing, surfaces need to remain clear to operate correctly and some gas content may also be corrosive if allowed to condense. https://t.co/i79Lfi3mVM
