Answers
#SensorFAQs – Q12 1/6 | The LuminOx family is a range of factory calibrated oxygen sensors designed to measure the partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) using luminescence-based optical technology. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP

#SensorFAQs – Q12 2/6 | The patented technology allows SST to produce a sensor that provides low power operation while offering a much longer lifetime than electrochemical and galvanic sensors. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP

#SensorFAQs – Q12 3/6 | The sensors each have an internal sensor for temperature and barometric pressure compensation. A barometric pressure sensor measurement along with the ppO2 measurement allows an oxygen concentration (O2%) value to be calculated. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP

#SensorFAQs – Q12 4/6 | LuminOx Is a digital sensor with a UART output, meaning there is no need for signal conditioning circuitry. The sensor can serially communicate the values of O2%, ppO2, barometric pressure, internal temperature and sensor status. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP

#SensorFAQs – Q12 5/6 | LuminOx Optical Oxygen Sensors are completely solid-state sensors and contain no lead or liquid electrolytes. They are therefore 100% #RoHS Compliant. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP

#SensorFAQs – Q12 6/6 | It also has virtually no cross-sensitivity, allowing it to be used in applications where other technologies are unreliable due to the particular mix of gases present. https://t.co/uPHMagicvP
