Has A.P. Valve mentioned the life time of their sensors 
(heavy usage vv sporadically usage)?
Can you change them by yourself or do you need an authorized "service-tec" ?
What are the costs ?

For the cis-lunar this sensor change is quite an expensive fix-cost 
independent if the unit is used or not.
