FAQ
(1) Will the measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor be affected by the ambient humidity?
The measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor will be affected by the ambient humidity to a certain extent. A high humidity environment may cause the performance of the sensor's sensitive elements to change, thereby affecting the measurement results. Therefore, when using the temperature sensor in a high humidity environment, it is recommended to take moisture-proof measures, such as installing a moisture-proof cover or using a dehumidification device, to reduce the impact of humidity on the measurement accuracy.
(2) How to determine whether the temperature sensor is faulty?
There are several ways to determine whether the temperature sensor is faulty:
Observe the device response: If the temperature control of the device is abnormal, such as excessive temperature fluctuations, failure to reach the set temperature, etc., it may be caused by a temperature sensor failure.
Measure with a multimeter: When the device is powered off, use the resistance or voltage range of the multimeter to measure the output signal of the sensor and compare it with the value under normal conditions. If the deviation is large, it may indicate a sensor failure.
Compare with a standard thermometer: Place the temperature sensor and the standard thermometer in the same environment at the same time and compare the readings of the two. If the difference exceeds the accuracy range of the sensor, it may indicate that the sensor is faulty.
(3) What is the general service life of a temperature sensor?
The service life of a temperature sensor is affected by many factors, such as the working environment, frequency of use, and maintenance. Under normal working conditions, with good maintenance and care, the service life of a temperature sensor can generally reach several years. However, in harsh working environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong vibration, the service life of the sensor may be shortened. Therefore, in order to extend the service life of the sensor, it should be provided with a good working environment as much as possible, and regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with maintenance and care recommendations.
