Voltage-free insulated O2 planar sensors are used.

The active sensor ceramic consists of a gas permeable ceramic body made of zirconium dioxide. A protective tube with several slots protects the ceramic body from mechanical stresses and from temperature jumps.

They are connected electrically by means of a 4-pin connector.

Advantages of planar sensors vis-a-vis ordinarily used finger sensors:
