Comments:
Sensors respond to liquid hydrocarbons.
Sensors can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled if an alarm is triggered or for periodic testing. If the product sensitive strip is exposed to fuel, the sensor should be removed from the sensor body and submerged in lighter fluid for 15 seconds and then placed into a low heat oven (140 degrees) for 15 minutes. Alternatively, it is possible to replace the fuel exposed product sensitive strip with a new strip for immediate use if an alarm has been triggered. Simply unplug the old strip and plug in the new strip on the bottom of the sensor body
