#SensorFAQs – Q20 1/5 | The LuminOx has pressure compensation. It relies on an internal pressure sensor to provide a total pressure value to allow the O2% to be calculated. https://t.co/80NfLNw1dt

#SensorFAQs – Q20 2/5 | This pressure sensor provides compensation to any pressure changes, though the range of this pressure sensor limits the sensor’s O2% output. https://t.co/80NfLNw1dt

#SensorFAQs – Q20 3/5 | The luminescence sensor itself measures the partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) which is currently a 0-300mbar range. There are cases where the customer may only have interest in the ppO2 measurement and will… https://t.co/80NfLNw1dt

#SensorFAQs – Q20 4/5 | …operate the sensor outside the barometric pressure sensor range (500 to 1200mbar). Operating the sensor outside the pressure sensor’s range will cause the sensor to flag this via the ‘sensor status’ value. https://t.co/80NfLNw1dt
