A friend of mine just came back from DEMA and said that he was told that the
proper method was to keep the sensor in a humid environment 

    Tim, moisture will cause the sensor to read high and erraticly.
Oxygen is the "fuel" for these sensors, so just keep it from it's
fuel and it will last longer. Otherwise , it is always working. They
will eventually also short out internally if exposed to humidity,and
will the read zero all of the time. I have used these devices for several
years, and find that just keping the sensor separate in a small container
or plastic bag, away form temperature extremes is the best bet for
longevity, but with constant use, they only last a little more than
a year. - G
