= = Operating principle and sensor setting ==

When the concentration of a certain gas changes, the resistance of the semiconductor sensing element (SE) of the Rs sensor changes. The measurements use the ratio of the resistance of the SE Rs to the resistance measured in the reference medium Rs0. As the concentration of gases to which the sensor is sensitive increases, the SE resistance decreases, respectively, the Rs/Rs0 Ratio decreases. Based on the value of the Rs/Rs0 ratio, a decision can be made to turn on the warning signal. For different gases, the same RS/Rs0 ratio corresponds to different concentrations of these gases in the environment.
