CO2 sensor manufacturers introduce carbon dioxide sensor precautions
As we all know, carbon dioxide, as one of the main gases in the air, has an important impact on various fields such as agriculture and industry. With the continuous progress of modern society, carbon dioxide gas sensors are widely used to optimize our production and life, such as Monitor the carbon dioxide content in agricultural greenhouses and ventilate in time to increase crop yields, monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in mines to ensure worker safety, etc.
As an important instrument for detecting carbon dioxide concentration in the air, carbon dioxide sensors have been widely used in aerospace, industry, agriculture, environmental protection and other fields. As a device for monitoring and detecting the carbon dioxide content in the air, the carbon dioxide sensor is currently widely used in Air Quality Detector, air conditioning system control, etc. The following Fosensor CO2 sensor manufacturers introduce some precautions for carbon dioxide sensors.
Precautions when using carbon dioxide sensors
1. Carbon dioxide installation location selection
The carbon dioxide sensor should be installed as close as possible to the human breathing area, so that it can more accurately reflect the changing trend of indoor carbon dioxide in crowded places. Usually the carbon dioxide sensor in the building should be installed near the air supply outlet of the central air conditioning system. When installing, attention should be paid to the installation height of the sensor. It is generally recommended to install it 1.5 to 1.8 meters above the ground.
2. Sensor sensitivity and reliability
The sensitivity and reliability of the carbon dioxide sensor are very important indicators and will directly affect the detection accuracy of the sensor. Therefore, when selecting a sensor, you must choose a sensor with higher quality and install and use it correctly in accordance with the operating instructions of the CO2 sensor manufacturers.
3. Indoor air quality conditions
The monitoring results of the carbon dioxide sensor are affected by other indoor pollutants, such as formaldehyde, ammonia, etc. Therefore, when using the carbon dioxide sensor, you should also understand the indoor air quality status in order to more comprehensively and accurately assess the indoor environmental quality.
4. Regular calibration
After a carbon dioxide sensor is used for a period of time, its performance will gradually deteriorate and requires regular calibration. The frequency of calibration should be determined according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, calibration should be performed every six months to one year.
5. Replace regularly
The carbon dioxide sensor ages naturally and must be replaced after a period of use. Sensor service life depends on the specific brand and model. Carbon dioxide sensors produced by Fosensor generally have a service life of between five and ten years.
