Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Condensation: Do not expose the sensor to environments where condensation may occur as it affects the sensor performance.,
  • Exceed Measurement Ranges: Avoid using the sensor beyond its measurement range of 1-1000 ppm for H2 and 0.05-10 ppm for NO2 to ensure accuracy.,
  • Subject To Extreme Conditions: Do not store or operate the sensor outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.

Dos

  • Use Within Specified Voltage: Ensure the sensor is operated within the 4.9 to 5.1 V range.,
  • Check Operating Conditions: Operate the sensor within the temperature range of 30 to 85°C and humidity range of 5 to 95% RH (non-condensing).,
  • Enable Power Saving: Utilize the power supply enable/disable pins for low power consumption when the sensor is not in active use.
Limits

Environmental

  • Temperature: Operational between 30 to 85°C, Storage between -40 to 85°C,
  • Humidity: Operational between 5 to 95% RH (no condensation)

Measurement Range
