Gravity: Factory Calibrated Electrochemical Oxygen / O2 Sensor (0-25%Vol)

SKU: SEN0465

The gas sensor series is designed to detect various flammable, combustible, and toxic gases in the environment. With pre-calibrated sensors, it can measure the concentration of specific gases quickly and accurately. Supporting multiple output modes, including Analog, I2C, UART, and digital alarm signals, it offers flexibility in different applications. The probes in this series use electrochemical principles, providing strong stability and sensitivity with a lifespan of up to two years. Using the simple and user-friendly Gravity interface, you can easily build various gas concentration detectors. This sensor series has widespread applications in safety production, industrial manufacturing, and environmental protection, making it the ideal choice for settings such as coal mines, chemical industries, chemical laboratories, and environmental management.

    This article outlines critical guidelines for handling and installing sensor modules, emphasizing precautions for optimal performance and avoiding damage.

    2. Example Code for Arduino-Acquire data in initiative mode

    In this routine, the sensor will actively return data once a second, and the controller will receive and parse the data. Users will learn how to configure the sensor for initiative mode and read data automatically.

    3. Example Code for Arduino-Acquire data in passive mode

    In this routine, the controller needs to request data from the sensor every time, and then the sensor returns the data. Users will learn how to connect the sensor to Arduino and read gas concentration, gas type, and board temperature in passive mode.

    4. Example Code for Arduino-Threshold alarm function

    In this routine, users will learn how to set a threshold alarm for the gas sensor. When the gas concentration exceeds the set threshold, the ALA pin will output a high level, and a warning message will be printed to the serial monitor.

    Explanation of VO use:
    VO: It means original voltage (linear) after amplifying circuit, rather than concentration value of current environment.

    Calculation method: concentration in the current environment N= 200/(Vout1-Vout0)*(Voutx-Vout0)

    Where Vout1 corresponds to Vout1 in the table and Vout0 corresponds to the voltage value of the gas at 0 ppm in the table. Take CO as an example: zero point voltage Vout0 = 0.6V, Vout1 = 0.9V, the current voltage of VO Voutx = 1.2V, then the current concentration in the environment N = 400ppm

    The analog output is the original uncalibrated voltage of the probe, the UART/I2C data is factory calibrated, if there is no special requirement, it is recommended to use the calibrated UART/I2C data.
