Sensor lifespan
Definition
The time period during which the air sensor is designed to function normally.
Definition and Description
The air quality sensor lifespan refers to the duration of time that an air quality sensor can effectively and accurately operate, providing reliable measurements of air pollutant concentrations and environmental conditions. This period typically starts when the sensor is first activated or installed and continues until the sensor’s performance degrades to the point where it can no longer produce precise and dependable readings. The lifespan of an air quality sensor can vary significantly depending on factors such as sensor type, quality, usage conditions, and maintenance. Regular maintenance and calibration can help extend a sensor’s lifespan, ensuring that it continues to deliver accurate data over an extended period.
