- | The monitors are equipped with remote probes, to allow placement closer to the floor, since the risk is primarily from heavier than air gasses. The Ziurconium Oxide sensors used in these devices are expected to have a 10 year service life. The sensor is located in the remote probe, and could theoretically be sent back for repair separately from the head unit. AMI recommends returning both the head unit and sensor together. FIXME: We should find out how to tell when the sensors might be failing. | + | The monitors are equipped with remote probes, to allow placement closer to the floor, since the risk is primarily from heavier than air gasses.

Sensors are approaching end of life when their span factor (checked through Command Center Software) is approaching 1000. |
