PID Sensor
The following section explains basic installation, maintenance of the PID sensor,

NOTE: The PID cleaning kit is sold as an accessory. For technical support,
see “Customer Service” or call TSI at 1-800-680-1220 (USA) or
(651) 490-2860.
The Photoionization detection (PID sensor) is used to measure airborne pollutants. As it is measuring
and detecting for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), the gases freely diffuse in and out of the sensor
chamber which is formed by the filter, housing walls, and a UV lamp opening (window). It is important to
keep the UV lamp clean and the electrode pellet (lid placed over the lamp housing) clean.
NOTE: Regarding PID and performance: with the PID sensor and humidity sensitivity, this uses
the fence electrode technology to minimize humidity.
