Feature

Propane gas sensor feature

  • The SUCH propane gas sensor employs an electrochemical three-electrode principle, enabling rapid and accurate response within a concentration range of 300–10,000 ppm LPG.
  • With a heating power consumption of only 300 mW and a circuit voltage ≤24V DC, the gas sensor effectively reduces system energy consumption, making it ideal for safety monitoring equipment requiring long-term operation.
  • The sensor exhibits excellent temperature and humidity adaptability (20°C ±2°C, 65% ±5% RH), maintaining stable output across diverse complex environments.
  • High-quality materials and precision manufacturing ensure stable surface resistance (1kΩ–20kΩ), minimal performance degradation, and a standard lifespan of up to 10 years.
  • Supports adjustable load resistance design with standardized interface voltages (Vc: 5.0V ±0.1V / Vh: 5.0V ±0.1V), facilitating seamless integration into diverse detection circuits and alarm systems.

Test Circuit

Propane gas sensor basic test circuit

Note: The diagram above shows the basic test circuit for natural gas sensor. This gas sensor requires two voltage inputs: Heater voltage (VH) and test voltage (VC). VH is used to provide the sensor with a specific operating temperature and can be supplied by either a DC or AC power source. VRL is the voltage across the series load resistor (RL) of the sensor. VC is the test voltage applied to the load resistor RL and must be supplied by a DC power source.

FAQ

Pins 1 and 2 of the propane gas sensor connect to the heating circuit, while pins 3 and 4 connect to the measurement circuit. Provided the sensor's electrical performance requirements are met, the heating and measurement circuits may share the same power supply. Note the prominent marking on the sensor; the two pins immediately adjacent to this marking are the heating electrodes.

Storage Duration Recommended Aging Duration
1 month >48 hours
1–6 months >72 hours
>6 months >168 hours

Under indoor operating conditions, minor condensation may slightly affect sensor performance. However, if water condenses on the sensing layer surface and remains for an extended period, sensor characteristics will deteriorate.
