Warm-up and Stabilization Behavior
After power-on or cartridge replacement, some sensors require a brief warm-up period before providing accurate readings.
During this time, sensor output is suppressed, notifications are disabled, and a visible countdown displays on screen. This prevents false gas readings during stabilization.
Warm-up behavior varies by sensor type:
MPS and IR sensors do not require a formal warm-up and begin sampling immediately.
PID sensors require up to 60 seconds for the UV lamp to energize and stabilize.
- Electrochemical sensors typically stabilize within when the sensor is at room temperature. Lower temperatures may lengthen the initial stabilization period by 60 or more seconds.
