What are some of the most common faults in gas detectors?
Long term use, improper storage, and improper use of gas detectors can cause malfunctions and reduce their lifespan. So, what are the common faults of gas detectors?
1. Inaccurate reading
If gas detectors are used for a long time or not calibrated for a long time, the problem of reading errors may occur. We all know that gas detectors are mainly detected through internal sensors, which have a certain lifespan. When used for a certain number of times, the sensitivity of the sensor decreases, which affects the detection results. In addition, if calibration is not carried out for a long time, it will also affect the detection results.
2. Gas detector unable to aspirate
This type of problem mainly occurs in pump suction gas detectors. The gas is detected by a small suction pump inside the detector. If the suction pump is damaged or malfunctions, it can cause the gas detector to be unable to aspirate. This problem is easy to solve and can be replaced with a new suction pump.
3. Gas detector malfunction
This type of malfunction is prone to occur in special working environments, such as when there is a lot of dust and oil pollution in the detection environment, which can contaminate the gas detector and cause it to malfunction. In such environments, it is necessary to clean the gas detector.
