What is the lifespan of the air-Q / the sensors in the air-Q?
The lifespan of the air-Q depends on the lifespan of its individual sensors (see Hardware) and is at least five years. The service life of each sensor depends on its respective measurement principle. Here are a few examples:
- Particulate matter sensor measures particles optically. No wear.
- Carbon monoxide sensor measures using a chemical principle. Lifespan > ten years
- Carbon dioxide sensor uses an optical measurement principle. No wear.
- Sulfur dioxide sensor > five years
- Ozone sensor > five years
- Oxygen sensor measures using the principle of optical luminescence. Lifespan > 5 years
- Nitrogen dioxide sensor measures electrochemically. Lifespan > 5 years
- VOC sensor > ten years
The datasheet lists the lifespans and service lives for all sensors.
