MC series catalytic(hot wire) gas sensor HANWEI catalytic bead sensor operate on the catalytic combustion principle, the gas sensor consists of an active element and a reference element with the same resistance, At the heart of each element is a heated platinum coil whose resistance varies with temperature, in the presence of the gas, the active element will burn the gas on its surface, raising the temperature of the platinum coil, a differential is created in the resistances of the two elements. When both elements are placed in a wheatstone bridge circuit, this differential acts to throw the bridge out of balance, producing a signal which is proportional to the gas concentration. FEATURES BASIC TESTING CIRCUIT linear output signal for gas concentration. Virtually unaffected by temperature and humidity, remarkable reproducibility and accuracy. APPLICATIONS Domestic and industrial gas detecting for combustible gas, natural gas, LPG, coal gas, alkane etc and organic solvent steam like gasoline, alcohol, ketone, benzene and so forth. Combustible gas leak alarm Combustible gas detector Gas densitometers SPECIFICATIONS Model MC101 MC108 MC112 MC115 MC116 MC105

Note The sensor sensitivity needs to calibrate thermally. Try to avoid meeting the combustible gas up to 15% concentration. If happened accidentally, please recalibrate. When debugging, should strict to control the heating voltage or current, do not exceed rated voltage to burn the sensor. For long period storage, do not put it in wet and corrosive environment. Shocking, falling, and mechanical destroying is prohibited
