Sensorix PH3 20 LT Electrochemical Phosphine Sensor

Sensorix 4S manufacturer standard format example
Official Sensorix 4S housing-format example; gas chemistry and exact order-code packaging are not identified by this generic sample image.

Electrochemical phosphine gas detection component for industrial safety and process monitoring.

Manufacturer: Sensorix GmbH (Germany)

OEM sensor safety distinction: This is a gas-sensing component or series, not a complete intrinsically safe or flameproof gas detector. ATEX/IECEx compliance for the finished instrument cannot be inferred from the OEM sensor.

Range and interfering-gas characteristics must be checked for the exact sensor code and current revision.

Original manufacturer model check

Current official Sensorix PH₃ 20 LT OEM sensor lists a 0–20 ppm PH₃ range, response T90 ≤45 s and −20…+40°C operating window. It is not a complete ATEX/IECEx certified detector.

Sensorix PH₃ 20 LT — quantitative electrochemical measurement specifications

Unlike the separate PH₃ 1 (0–1 ppm) product, the PH₃ 20 LT measures 0–20 ppm phosphine with an ionic-liquid three-electrode electrochemical cell. Sensorix’s September 2026 original product announcement supplies model-specific electrical performance:

Sensorix parameterValue and engineering interpretation
Sensitivity1,100 ±500 nA/ppm; calibrate the actual shipped cell, not a generic fixed nA-to-ppm coefficient.
ResponseT90 ≤45 s at 2-minute gas exposure; add inlet and processor delays before promising alarm speed.
Clean-air baseline<±0.02 ppm equivalent at midpoint sensitivity; not an automatic certified detection limit.
Linearity / repeatabilityLinearity <10% full scale; repeatability <2% under maker conditions.
Service life / driftExpected >18 months in air; output drift <10% per 6 months; require field maintenance and calibration schedule.
Ambient−20…+40°C; check humidity and gas cross-sensitivity for grain fumigation or semiconductor use.

Selection: Industrial re-entry after fumigation or process-gas monitoring needs documented detector-level gas calibration, concentration threshold, maintenance and relevant safety approvals. A bare cell cannot inherit ATEX/IECEx certification of an unrelated finished monitor.
