Gas Sensor: 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. 

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. 

Display: 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. 

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). 

Power Supply: 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. 

Communication Interface (Optional): 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. 

Enclosure: 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. 

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. 

Mechanical Components: Our components include buttons, switches, and other physical interfaces for user interaction, such as power buttons, menu navigation buttons, and calibration knobs. 

Internal Circuitry: 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
