Data sheet for both sensors suggests 48 hours of preheat to make the elements most stable. I've run them for about 24 hours and it seemed to work fine.

All you have to do is hook up the Power and Ground on the sensor to a power supply (at  4.5Volts) or battery (3.7-4.5 volts should work). If using a power supply, make sure it's not current- limited because multiple sensors will draw a lot of current.

You can do this on a breadboard or using alligator clips and leave it on over night.
