h. Acceptance level for new sensor is minimum 1.2 = 1.20E+00.

i. If the Signal is below 1.2: Wait at least 10 minutes (leave instrument on)
and then repeat the test. If the Signal (after a repeated test) is still below
1.2 the sensor is to be considered no good for delivery.

Type of

problem?

Quick or

slow

signals?

Electrical fault.
Bad cable or
connector, or
earthing problem .
This is most
likely a handling
error by
customer.

Check for gas spillage
in the background.
(could be exhausts,
smoke, tracer gas or
gastric gases ) .

This is an application
problem. Not a
warranty issue.

The Reject level
should have been
designed to 10 ppm
H2 or more.
For Reject levels
it is normal to change
sensor 1-2 times per
year.
