    Span pot on the top sensor board until the correct output is achieved (see Figure 3). With full-scale span gas, the calculated span value is 200 mV. Once the unit is powered up, the SD1-NH3 starts the 10-minute sampling ((span gas / sensor range * 16 + 4) (mA output)) rate, and the sample-draw cycle is as follows: 2-minute sample time from the room being monitored.

    When the cell becomes depleted, the unit will give no indication of failure The SD1-NH3 sensor is designed for long life and minimal maintenance. other than the sensor will not respond. For this reason, it is essential that The sensor should be calibrated with certified calibration gas once every the sensor be calibrated on a regular basis.
