Gas sensors need to be calibrated and periodically checked to ensure sensor accuracy and system integrity. It is important to install stationary sensors in locations where the calibration can be performed easily. The intervals between calibrations can be different from the sensor to the sensor. Generally, the manufacturer of the sensor will recommend a time interval between calibrations. However, it is good general practice to check the sensor more closely during the first 30 days after installation. During this period, it is possible to observe how well the sensor is adapting to its new environment.
Factors that were not accounted for in the design of the system might surface and can affect the sensor's performance. If the sensor functions properly for 30 continuous days, this provides a good degree of confidence about the installation. Any possible problems can be identified and corrected during this time. Experience indicates that a sensor surviving 30days after the initial installation will have a good chance of performing its function for the duration expected. Most problems—such as an inappropriate sensor location, interference from other gases, or the loss of sensitivity—will surface during this time.
