The service life of the air-Q depends on the service life of the individual sensors (see hardware) and is at least five years. The service life of the individual sensors depends on the respective measuring principle. Here are some examples:
- particulates sensor measures the particles optically. No wear and tear.
- Carbon monoxide sensor measures according to a chemical principle. Service life > ten years
- Carbon dioxide sensor uses an optical measuring principle. No wear and tear.
- Sulphur dioxide sensor > five years
- Ozone sensor > five years
- Oxygen sensor measures according to the principle of optical luminescence. Service life > 5 years
- Nitrogen dioxide sensor measures electrochemically. Service life > 5 years
- VOC sensor > ten years
The service life and durability of all sensors are specified in the data sheet.
