    For a sensor with a porous lid the heater voltage should be adjusted to 4.00V measured as close as possible to the sensor heater connections. The heater voltage is set by adjusting the HEATER VOLTAGE ADJUST pot, highlighted below and on page 4. © 2010 SST Sensing Ltd www.sstsensing.com DS0074 Rev 7...

    PIN 7. This removes errors due to voltage drops in the power supply connections. Every SST oxygen sensor has two heater connections which should be connected to pins 1 & 2 of the O2I-Flex, the heater coil has no polarity. However when connecting to a sensor where the sensor housing is one of the heater connections, pin 1 of the O2I-Flex should be connected to the housing.
