Figure 2 Voltage Sensitivity
120
Figure 2 shows the variation in sensitivity caused by changes in pellistor voltage. The pellistor is relatively insensitive to small voltage variations, avoiding individual bridge voltage adjustments.
Data are taken from a typical batch of sensors and the mean and ±95% confidence intervals are shown.

Figure 3 Zero Temperature Dependence
Figure 3 shows the variation in zero output caused by changes in temperature, expressed as % methane. Zero shifts less than ± 0.1% LEL from -30oC to +50oC.
