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.
