#SensorFAQs – Q14 3/8 |

1. O₂ measurement range; 0.1-25% or 0.1-100%
2. Output requirements; digital (RS485 Modbus or RS232) or analogue (4-20mA or 0-10Vdc) https://t.co/AbTycapKJC

3. Location; cable length is important; to maintain the correct sensor heater voltage and minimize noise pick up, SST recommends keeping the cable length between the sensor and interface board as short as possible. https://t.co/AbTycapKJC
