•
Do not operate the device with an obstructed flow path. Obstruction during air sampling will
damage the internal micropump.
•
Do not expose this device to any liquids.
•
Sensors must not be exposed to temperature, humidity and pressure that are outside the
operating range. See sensor
•
Lifetime of up to 2 years for C2H4/O2 sensor and 5 years for CO2 sensor can be expected for
discontinuous sampling. Continuous exposure to relative humidity >90% or <15% and Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) over a long period of time must be avoided. See
