Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Condensation: Do not expose the sensor to environments where condensation may occur as it is only designed for non-condensing humidity conditions.,
  • Exceed Voltage Limits: Do not supply the sensor with a voltage outside the 3.3V to 5V range to avoid damaging the sensor.

Dos

  • Preheat: Preheat the sensor for 3 minutes before use to ensure accurate readings.,
  • Check Operating Conditions: Ensure the sensor operates within the temperature range of -10°C to 80°C and humidity range of 5%RH to 95%RH (non-condensing).
