The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics, The figure below represents typical temperature and humidity
all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see dependency characteristics. Again, the Y-axis is indicated as
reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as sensor sensor resistance ratio (Rs/Ro), defined as follows:
resistance ratio (Rs/Ro) which is defined as follows: Rs = Sensor resistance in fresh air
Rs = Sensor resistance in displayed gases at at various temperatures/humidities
various concentrations Ro = Sensor resistance in fresh air
Ro = Sensor resistance in fresh air at 20°C and 65% R.H.
