    FAQ

    • Hi, I bought the sensor 6 months back and now the reading is stuck at 0.01ppm and not increasing even while interfering with alcohol. What should I do?

      Hi, Sorry, there are no detailed parameters related to the calibration accuracy of this sensor at present. Since the sensor is an electrochemical sensor, the data may be offset when used. Please try to maintain a stable voltage and avoid the sensor from contacting interference gas (see wiki for interference gas).

    • What is the size of the white detection area of ​​this sensor?

      As shown in the figure below, the diameter of the white circular area is 11mm.
