Frequently asked questions
What resistor values should be used in the basic circuit?
Use R1 = 1.2 kΩ, R2 = 1.2 kΩ and VR = 100 Ω as recommended.
How is a sensor fault detected electrically?
A fault is indicated when the output voltage drops to 0.2 V or lower (Vout ≤ 0.2 V).
What pre‑heating time is advised for high‑accuracy use?
The manual recommends a pre‑heating period of two weeks.
How should the sensor be stored after assembly?
Store the detector at room temperature in clean air, avoiding dust, organic vapors and strong cleaning agents.
