inserted.
Leaving a dry cell battery in the product may cause a liquid leakage that
causes product malfunction.
Please use this product in an environment where there is oxygen as
same level in the normal atmosphere. This product does not work
normally in an environment where the oxygen density is zero or low.
Please note that the characteristics of the sensor will change if it
is exposed for several hours to several months in the following
environment.
● Exposed to VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) gas such as toluene
with a concentration of 1 ppm or more, or exposed to fragrance used
in an aromatic for 1 month or more.
● Exposed to ozone over 100 ppm for 2 hours.
Please note that it may cause product malfunction or aff ect the life and
characteristics of the sensor by usage, installation, or storage in the
following places and environments.
● Usage in an environment where the relative humidity exceeds 90%
in the temperature range 0 to 40℃ .
● An environment temperature not in the range -10 to 50℃ .
● An environment where temperature changes rapidly and
condensation occurs easily.
● An environment that is vibrating.
● A place easily get wet, or highly humid with moisture or steam.
● A place exposed to direct sunlight, or place with large temperature
diff erences.
● An environment with corrosive gas or fl ammable gas.
● An environment with dust.
● In a room with automatic solder tank, or place where silicon material
is stored and used.
● In a room with high concentration of organic solvent by painting, or
near from such place.

３Outline and Features of Odor Sensor POLFA
The odor sensor POLFA is a handy-type monitor that detects odorous substances in gas
by a semiconductor of gas sensor and displays the reaction value as our unique value.
The higher the odor, the higher the value. And the lower the odor, the lower the value.
Therefore, it is possible to compare odor intensity relatively, and it can be used to control
the change of odor intensity and environmental management as well.
Product Outline
Features of this product
★ Excellent performance of the response
A performance of the response is superior compared to conventional products, and
high reproducible measurement is available.
★ Real-time graph display
Displayed graph measurement data in real-time makes you to check the change of
odor visually.
★ Peak hold function
By using the peak hold function, it is possible to keep displaying the peak value
during measurement on the screen. This function is useful to avoid missing the
measurement values.
★ Data collection function
Measurement data can be recorded by using the data collection function. No need
to write down the measurement values by hand.
★ Recording measurement data into microSD card
Measurement data can be recorded in the microSD card that is inserted into the
body, so no special software is required to download the data. In addition to PC
that can read microSD, since SD card conversion adapter is included, data editing
is easily possible with many PC regardless of the OS type.
★ Simple temperature and humidity display function
A simple temperature and humidity sensor is built-in to assist measurement. Since
the odor sensor is aff ected by temperature and humidity, it can be used to evaluate
the measured value with measuring the temperature and humidity simultaneously
in the odor measurement.
★ Scale function
A scale function is provided to make it easier to see the change in odor. Odors with
little change can be easily checked using this scale function.
