This smoke and gas sensor for sale utilizes highly sensitive semiconductor materials and is specifically designed to detect propane and smoke gases with a detection range of 200-10000 ppm. The gas sensor supports both DC and AC heating voltages, consumes as little as 240mW, and is housed in a metal cap for durability and long-term storage and stable operation.
Description: The figure on the left shows a basic smoke sensor test circuit. A smoke sensor requires two voltages: A heater voltage (VH) and a test voltage (VC). VH provides the sensor with a specific operating temperature and can be powered by either a DC or AC power supply. VRL is the voltage across the load resistor (RL) connected in series with the gas sensor. VC is the test voltage across the load resistor RL and requires a DC power supply.
As shown in the figure, pins 1 and 2 of the smoke sensor connect to the heating circuit, and pins 3 and 4 connect to the measurement circuit. Heating and measurement can share the same power supply circuit, provided the sensor's electrical performance requirements are met. Note: Please note the prominent mark on the gas sensor; the two pins adjacent to the mark are the heating electrodes.
Smoke gas sensors work primarily by detecting changes in the concentration of combustible gases or smoke particles in the air. Common types include semiconductor and infrared optical sensors. Semiconductor sensors output a signal when a gas is present due to a change in resistance. Optical sensors detect smoke concentration by scattering an infrared beam. Both methods enable rapid smoke detection and are used for fire warnings and air quality monitoring./p>
Smoke sensors are susceptible to dust, smoke, and other particulate matter during use, which can cause a decrease in sensitivity. It is generally recommended to clean and inspect them every 6 to 12 months. For industrial use, the frequency should be shortened depending on environmental conditions. Some sensors have built-in self-test functions that remind users to calibrate or replace them. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of the sensor and ensures its alarm accuracy and reliability.
Smoke and gas sensors have a wide range of applications, from fire alarms in homes to public buildings such as shopping malls, schools, and hotels. In the industrial sector, it can be used to monitor combustible gas leaks in warehouses, computer rooms, and laboratories. Furthermore, some smart home systems integrate smoke sensors with networking platforms to enable remote alarms and coordinated control. For example, detecting heavy smoke can automatically cut off power or activate exhaust ventilation.
