6.4. Getting started
If “INDSIG” mode is active, during first 40 seconds after the power is up sensor
does not return the measured concentration value (the value is displayed as “-
1”, hex: “8001”, see Table 12).
When the measurement range is exceeded, concentration value is displayed
as “32767” (hex: “7FFF”).
Sensor updates information about concentration every 1.32
± 0.04 seconds
(depends on ambient temperature and whether UART is active or not).
Correct measurement is provided when ambient temperature changes not
faster than 0.6 °C/min.
Switching on/off sensor is performed automatically upon feeding/disconnecting power
supply.
After sensor is installed into end-user equipment check its status by sending command
<DATAE2> via UART interface:
for <DATAE2> command description see Appendix C.2.1;
for response description and recommendations see Table 10.
Sensor span calibration and zeroing should be performed next. Methods of sensor span
calibration and zeroing are given in Appendix D.1.
