Sentera's HVAC sensors undergo extensive testing to ensure top performance, accuracy and durability in any environment. Trust our innovative solutions for reliable and precise control, even under the most challenging conditions
HVAC products undergo a variety of tests to ensure they meet safety, efficiency and performance standards. By following these testing procedures, manufacturers can ensure that their HVAC products are safe, efficient, and effective for consumer use. Sentera is one of the leading manufacturers of control solutions for HVAC and ventilation systems. Our customers praise our control solutions because they are innovative and at the same time easy to use. We make no concessions in terms of quality. To guarantee this quality, we do all sub-assemblies as well as software development in-house. So, testing our products can never be overstated.
Our products undergo comprehensive testing to ensure their durability and reliability in various environmental conditions. You can trust that our sensors are designed to withstand the harshest environments and deliver accurate readings every time thanks to our climate testing chamber which provides reproducible and certified results under accelerated conditions, giving you peace of mind that your products will perform optimally regardless of the temperature.
What is more, our climate chamber is housed in Sentera’s cleanroom especially designed to maintain a controlled environment with minimal air contamination. It features strict regulations regarding airflow, temperature, humidity, and the concentration of airborne particles.
How we guarantee the quality of our sensors
In any season, in any climatic zone – we want to make sure our products can withstand a variety of ambient conditions during manufacturing, transport, storage and use. Our environmental simulation facilities help us test the influence of ambient conditions on product properties, function and lifespan of your products. Therefore, we undergo diligent testing before shipping our products.
The primary objective of this testing is to evaluate the performance, accuracy, and response time of our sensors. These three critical parameters can be evaluated simultaneously, ensuring that our sensors meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Our accuracy evaluation test enables us to assess the measurement error of the sensing elements (T, rH, CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO) embedded in our sensors as part of the complete system.
Meanwhile, our response time evaluation test allows us to assess the speed of the sensing element's reactions to changes in the environment, ensuring that our sensors provide accurate and timely data.
In addition to accuracy and response time evaluation tests, our sensors undergo a comprehensive performance evaluation test. This test enables us to assess the adequacy of the behaviour of the sensing elements (T, rH, CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO) and the entire device under different climate conditions and supply voltages.
By subjecting our sensors to these extreme conditions, we can ensure that they are designed to withstand the harshest environments and deliver accurate readings every time.

Every Sentera sensor series undergoes a rigorous testing process, consisting of multiple parts and simulation different environmental conditions, depending on the sensor type (T, rH, CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO).
By performing a temperature dependence test we evaluate the accuracy and performance of our T, rH, CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO sensors within the operational temperature range of the sensors series. This test ensures that our sensors can deliver accurate readings even in extreme temperature conditions.The relative humidity dependence test assesses the accuracy and performance of our T, rH, CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO sensors within the operational relative humidity range. This test ensures that our sensors can provide accurate readings, even in environments with varying levels of humidity.
Depending on the sensor type, we use different gases (CO2, TVOC, LPG and CO) to simulate real operating conditions and thus check the accuracy of the sensing elements and guarantee precise reading and long-term reliability.
Our engineers also implement voltage stress test to evaluate the performance of our devices at the minimum and maximum supply voltages under extreme temperature conditions of -10 °C and 60 °C. This test ensures that our sensors can withstand voltage fluctuations and deliver reliable readings even in challenging conditions.
At every stage of our testing process, we strive to ensure that our sensors meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Choose our sensors and experience the difference in performance and accuracy.
