PID Sensor Target Gas

An overview of the PID sensor target gas as it is configured for G8.

Photoionization detector (PID) sensors can be used to detect a large range of gases. A target gas refers to the specific gas you are trying to detect. G8's readings adjust based on the target gas it is configured to detect.

Although PID sensors target a specific volatile organic compound (VOC) gas, readings can still be affected by the presence of non-targeted gases. Consult your safety supervisor or industrial hygienist when preparing to use a PID sensor.

G8's PID sensor target gas is set from the configuration profile in Blackline Live. For more information, contact your Blackline Live administrator.
