Sensing resistance in air R is measured under controlled ambient conditions, i.e. synthetic air at 23 0 5C and 50 10% RH. Sampling test. 2. Sensitivity factor is defined as Rs in air divided by Rs at 60 ppm CO. Test conditions are 23 5C and 50 10% RH. Indicative values only. Sampling test. IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS: Read the following instructions carefully before using the MiCS-5524 described here to avoid erroneous readings and to prevent the device from permanent damage. The sensor must be reflow soldered in a neutral atmosphere, without soldering flux vapours. The sensor must not be exposed to high concentrations of organic solvents, silicone vapours or cigarette-smoke in order to avoid poisoning the sensitive layer. Heater voltage above the specified maximum rating will destroy the sensor due to overheating. This sensor is to be placed in a filtered package that protects it against water and dust projections. SGX sensortech strongly recommends using ESD protection equipment to handle the sensor. Page 2 of 5
