While most Blackline sensors are designed for rugged field use, prolonged exposure to extreme environments may impact accuracy or cause temporary drift.

• Electrochemical sensors may degrade faster in cold or dry conditions. At temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), internal electrolyte may freeze, reducing sensor output.
• Store devices in a warm, humid environment (around 20°C and 50% relative humidity) when not in use to help preserve electrochemical sensor life.
• Sudden temperature or humidity changes may cause temporary drift in IR and electrochemical sensors. Readings typically stabilize within 60 seconds.
• Condensation within IR sensors can temporarily affect optical performance. If drift persists, zero the sensor in the ambient environment.
