PID Sensor Behavior

The Photoionization Detector (PID) sensor detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using ultraviolet light to ionize gas molecules.

The PID sensor exhibits the following key behaviors:
  • The target gas must be selected in Blackline Live before use.

  • The sensor requires a warm-up period of up to 60 seconds after power-up.

  • The sensor can overload or trigger a latched notification when exposed to high concentrations of VOCs.
