Â
Gas Sensor:Â This is the primary component responsible for detecting formaldehyde gas. Our sensor usually employs a technology like electrochemical sensing or semiconductor sensing. The sensor detects the concentration of formaldehyde in the air and converts it into an electrical signal.Â
Microcontroller or Processor: GAO Tek’s component processes the signals from the gas sensor and controls the overall operation of the detector. It can include functions like data processing, calibration, and alarm triggering.Â
Display:Â A display unit, often an LCD or LED screen, provides real-time information to the user about the detected formaldehyde levels, as well as other relevant data such as battery status or calibration status.Â
Alarm System: To alert users of high formaldehyde levels, the GAO Tek’s detector typically includes an alarm system. This could be an audible alarm (like a buzzer) and/or visual indicators (like flashing lights).Â
Power Supply:Â Our formaldehyde detectors can be powered by batteries or through mains power. Battery-powered units often use rechargeable batteries or replaceable ones, while mains-powered units connect directly to electrical outlets.Â
Communication Interface (Optional):Â Some of our advanced detectors may include communication interfaces such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. This allows users to connect the detector to a smartphone, computer, or home automation system for remote monitoring and data logging.Â
Enclosure:Â The enclosure houses all the internal components and provides protection against environmental factors like dust and moisture. Our enclosure usually made of plastic or metal.Â
Calibration Controls: To maintain accuracy, our detectors may include calibration controls that allow users to adjust the sensor’s sensitivity or zero point. This ensures reliable measurements over time.Â
Mechanical Components:Â Our components include buttons, switches, and other physical interfaces for user interaction, such as power buttons, menu navigation buttons, and calibration knobs.Â
Internal Circuitry:Â Our various electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors are used in the internal circuitry to support the operation of the sensor, microcontroller, and other electronic functions.Â
