Product Overview
The SX-GVOCPSA Series is a photoionization VOC sensor based on PID technology. It detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across a wide range of environments, from extremely low concentrations at the ppb level to high-ppm concentrations. The sensor uses a 10.6 eV high-energy UV lamp to ionize VOC molecules, and the resulting ions are converted into an electrical signal by the measurement electrodes. Most VOC molecules in air can be ionized by the UV radiation, while the main constituents of air, such as N₂, O₂, CO₂, and H₂O, remain unionized. This enables broad VOC detection in ambient gas with ppb-level sensitivity.
Main Features
-
High Sensitivity —— Detects VOCs from ppb to high-ppm levels
-
Wide Measurement Range —— Multiple range variants from 0–10 ppm up to 0–6,000 ppm
-
High Stability —— Consistent long-term performance
-
Long Operating Life —— Service life: at least 5 years, excluding the UV lamp
