Air Quality Monitor LAQM-A10 9. Maintenance During the normal use of the detector, the valid service life of most sensors is 24- 36 months. Within the valid service life, one-time periodic sensor calibration should be performed every 6 months or 1 year, to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the gas detection function.
Air Quality Monitor LAQM-A10 Troubleshooting 10.1 Failure 1: It is not possible to detect when the concentration is low Countermeasure solutions: 1) Check whether the pump is working or not; when the pump is working properly, there is slight vibration, and if the finger is used to block the gas inlet for 2 seconds, it is possible to feel the obvious suction force.
Page 41
Air Quality Monitor LAQM-A10 2) Verify whether the zero-point calibration or target point calibration was carried out for the instrument or not; If the zero-point calibration was carried out in the case when the gas to be measured existed, it might be impossible to detect out the gases at low concentrations;...
