Note: Above 85% rh and 40oC a maximum continuous exposure period of 10 days is warranted. Where such exposure occurs the sensor will
recover normal electrolyte volumes when allowed to rest at lower % rh and temperature levels for several days.
At the end of the product’s life, do not dispose of any electronic sensor, component or instrument in the domestic waste, but contact the
instrument manufacturer, Alphasense or its distributor for disposal instructions.
NOTE: all sensors are tested at ambient environmental conditions, with 47 ohm load resistor, unless otherwise stated. As applications of use are outside our control, the
information provided is given without legal responsibility. Customers should test under their own conditions, to ensure that the sensors are suitable for their own requirements.
