Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) VOCs, air pollution with carbon-containing chemicals, are measured using a Photoionization detector 10.6eV. The EVM is equipped to notify you when maintenance and cleaning is required for the PID sensor. A PID sensor error will appear indicating: (1) if the sensor n...
