A gas detection device for detection of one or more gas analytes in an environment includes a housing including an inlet via which gas to be sampled from the environment enters the housing, a control system within the housing comprising a processor system and a memory system in communicative connection with the processor system, and one or more gas sensors within the housing in fluid connection with the inlet and in communicative connection with the control system. Each of the one or more gas sensors is independently responsive to one of the one or more gas analytes. The control system is configured to control flow rate of gas from the environment through an accessory device assembly including one or more accessory devices in fluid connection with the inlet on the basis of data for the accessory device assembly in fluid connection with the inlet.

Gas detector device control based upon accessory identification

A method of detecting at least a partial blockage in a porous member separating a first volume from a second volume or inner chamber of a device includes emitting pressure waves within the inner chamber by changing a volume of the inner chamber, measuring a response via a pressure sensor responsive to pressure waves positioned within the inner chamber, and determining if at least a partial blockage is present in the porous member based upon the response of the pressure sensor.
