Stabilisation

Stabilisation

Stabilisation is a period whereby a sensor provides “bad” data due to not being in a state of equilibrium. Once the sensor settles in its environment after being recently moved in a manner which may shock or destabilise the sensor or after its being first installed, it will provide usable data. This process takes 2 days to complete for electrochemical sensors, 12 hours for NDIR and is not required for the OPC.

  • Sensors need to settle into their environment
  • Process takes up to 2 days for electrochemical sensors
  • It is essential prior to rebasing in a new environment or following major transportation
