How to Use

PR 2020 has three different types of behavior which can be applied to different environment. PR 2020A can be used to monitor the H2 concentration, while PR 2020 B and C are to give an alarm at certain level of H2. For example, PR 2020C gives rather low voltage(~30-40mV) in the low H2 concentration while it start to gives high voltage(>200mV) at around 4%H22. Please set the threshold voltage for the warning concentration of 4%H2. For example, set V=150mV. Then it will responds when H2 reaches close to 4%.
