FAQ
1. How does the sensor handle high-humidity environments like poultry farms?
Our NH₃ sensor features a specialized anti-condensation and anti-corrosion design. While many sensors fail due to moisture buildup in livestock settings, ours uses a high-performance electrochemical cell and a protective filter to maintain accuracy even in non-condensing high-humidity conditions (15% – 90% RH).
2. What is the typical lifespan and how often does it need calibration?
This sensor is designed for a lifespan of over three years and can be used under normal operating conditions. It is manufactured using low-drift technology (drift of less than 1% per year) and only requires professional calibration every 6-12 months, which can significantly reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
3. Can this sensor detect low-level leaks before they become dangerous?
Yes. With a high sensitivity of 0.1 ppm, the sensor is capable of early leak detection. This is critical for industrial refrigeration and chemical storage, where catching a minor leak early can prevent health hazards and expensive stock loss.
4. Does the sensor react to other gases (Cross-Interference)?
Electrochemical technology provides superior selectivity. While no sensor is 100% immune, our NH₃ sensor is engineered to minimize interference from common gases like CO, H2, and CH4. This ensures your alarms only trigger when ammonia is truly present, preventing “ghost” alerts.
5. Is it compatible with my existing IoT or PLC system?
Absolutely. We provide multiple output options including Analog (Voltage/Current), UART (TTL), and I²C. This versatility makes it “plug-and-play” for developers using Arduino/ESP32 as well as industrial engineers using standard PLC controllers.
6. How does the sensor perform in extreme cold (Cold Storage)?
Unlike standard sensors that drift in the cold, our module includes internal temperature compensation. It maintains stable and reliable readings from –10°C to +50°C, making it ideal for ammonia-based refrigeration monitoring.
7. What happens if there is a sudden high-concentration gas surge?
The sensor is built with a robust anti-overload design. It can withstand gas concentrations 10 to 20 times its rated range (overload) without permanent damage to the sensing element, ensuring it survives accidental high-exposure events.
