How long can I store the sensors?

This is really dependent on the specific sensor as each may have a different storage life.ย  For a general rule, we like to store our acid electrolyte sensors for a maximum of 3 months (for use [...]

How do I calibrate an oxygen sensor, how often should I calibrate it?

Calibration is recommended by using a certified span gas in the range of analysis. We recommend sourcing an O2 mixture that falls into the 80 โ€“ 100% of the range you are using. Calibration should [...]

Is there a recommended load for the sensors when developing an OEM circuit board?

The maximum load is a flat 10K, however no load is recommended. It is also worthwhile to note that the sensors cannot handle a reverse current flow.

Can liquid or moisture affect the reading of the oxygen sensors?

Moisture does not damage the sensor, however build up of excess moisture can block the gas flow. Another issue to monitor is that moisture and other types of corrosive liquids can damage the [...]

How does change in temperature influence the oxygen sensor’s performance?

Temperature influences the signal output at the rate of 2.54% per ยฐC. Compensation is recommended.

What is the recommended temperature range of the oxygen sensor?

All sensors are rated at 0ยฐC (32ยฐF) to 50ยฐC (122ยฐF)

How does CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H2S gas affect the sensor life?

CO2 and H2S gas can have an adverse effect on the life of our oxygen sensors. If you have an application that might contain CO2 or H2S, please contact a sales representative and ask for our [...]

What is the difference between ppm (trace) and percent oxygen sensors?

The main difference between the two measurement ranges is the amount of oxygen present. One can easily convert back and forth between the two, 20.9% is equal to 209,000 ppm of oxygen. PPM or [...]

How does Southland Sensingโ€™s precision oxygen sensor work?

The sensors are electrochemical devices which generate a current signal output (typically uA) that is proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the application. When no oxygen is present, [...]
