Allow 20–30 seconds for preheating. Ensure sensor is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent false triggers. Pull-up resistors are not needed as the module includes built-in conditioning circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
