An apparatus for sensing a constituent in an environment including a sensor circuit and a suppression circuit. The sensor circuit has a sensor element and an operating state control element. The sensor element senses the constituent by presenting an electrical parameter which varies as a function of a degree of the constituent. The control element maintains the sensor at a preferred operating state. A detected electrical parameter of said sensor element is subject to error resulting from a leakage of electrical current between the control element and the sensor element. The suppression circuit reduces or stops the leakage to reduce the error.

Environmental hazard sensor

A transmitter in a process control system includes isolation circuitry which isolates transmitter electronics from a sensor bridge circuit. The isolation circuitry includes high impedance isolators in series with high impedance buffers to electronically isolate the transmitter electronics from the bridge. A power supply is isolated using a series of capacitors connected to a periodic signal.
