OX-B431 Performance Data Figure 4 Response from 200 ppb to 0 ppb O3 340 330 320 310 ^ 300 290 280 £ 270 Figure 3 shows the variation in zero output of the working electrode caused by changes in temperature, expressed as nA. This data is taken from a typical batch of sensors. Contact Alphasense for futher information on zero current correction. Figure 4 shows response from 200ppb O3 to 0ppb O3. Use of Alphasense AFE circuit reduces noise to 15ppb, with the opportunity of digital smooting to reduce noise even further. Offset voltage is due to intentional ISB circuit electronic offset. In...

OX-B431 Oxidising Gas Sensor Ozone + Nitrogen Dioxide _4-Electrode_ Patented The OX-B431 detects both ozone and nitrogen dioxide (O3 +NO2). The NO2-B43F measures only nitrogen dioxide, filtering out ozone. Using these sensors together allows you to calculate the O3 concentration by subtracting the corrected NO2-B43F concentration from the corrected OX-B431 concentration. Before subtracting to determine ozone concentration, ensure that the signals from the two sensors have been corrected for electronic zero offset, sensor zero offset and temperature dependence, and sensitivity (nA/ppm)...

Perf erformance Data OX-B431 Performance Data Figure 5 Sensitivity temperature dependence to 2ppm NO2 Figure 5 shows the temperature dependence of sensitivity at 2ppm NO2. This data is taken from a typical batch of sensors. Figure 6 shows the fast response and good baseline recovery of the OX-B431 to 50ppb NO2. Figure 7 Response from 200 ppb to 0 ppb NO2 300 Figure 7 shows response from 200ppb NO2 to 0ppb NO2. Use of Alphasense AFE circuit reduces noise to 15ppb, with the opportunity of digital smooting to reduce noise to less than ± 5ppb. Technical Specification Offset voltage is due to...
