MIPEX-02 is a fully digital optical infrared gas sensor with uniquely low power consumption of less than 3 mW. through the use of patented high-efficiency LED technology.

Designed for use in the most hazardous and toxic environments, this sensor offers high reliability, measurement accuracy, fast response and long service life. MIPEX-02 methane and hydrocarbon sensors can be used in virtually any gas analysis device and are available in a variety of configurations tailored to the needs of key customer groups and application specifics.

Thanks to the use of a dual-beam circuit with signal and reference channels, the presence of a high-performance microcontroller, a built-in temperature sensor and the use of special algorithms, the sensors are highly fault-tolerant and provide a linearized output signal over a wide temperature range.

The latest addition to the MIPEX family of optical sensors is the world's lowest power consuming infrared combustible gas sensor. The revolutionary MIPEX-04 range delivers unprecedented low power consumption, up to 1000 times more energy efficient than its closest competitors. MIPEX-04 opens a new chapter in the history of miniature gas sensors and creates a solid basis for the development of an entirely new market of maintenance-free portable combustible gas detectors capable of continuous operation without recharging for 3 years. With ultra-low power consumption, measurement accuracy, reliability and compliance with international industry safety and metrology standards, the MIPEX-04 is the only sensor in the world that is used by the world's leading gas detection equipment manufacturers as a core component of their maintenance-free, portable gas detection clip detectors.

The MIPEX-05 ultra-low power infrared gas sensor has LED based differential dual wavelength technology that allows for the elimination of water vapor, optical elements contamination and other non-selective hindrances influence. It is intended for automatic continuous measurement of the concentration of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of hazardous areas. The sensor is used as an OEM component for portable fixed gas detectors for industrial safety. The sensor’s operating principle is based on NDIR technology, that is on selective absorption of infrared radiation by gas molecules.

• Ultra-low power consumption. Average current consumption at constant measurement of concentration is less than 60 μA. (microAmp)
• Smart sensor with embedded microcontroller returns linearized, temperature-compensated output data.
• LED based dual wavelength technology.
• Response time (T90) without dust filter 10 sec for methane, propane, ethane.
• Provides intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia”.
• Industry standard size (⌀20.3×16.6 mm).

The highly advanced MIPEX-14 portable gas sensor has an LED based dual beam and dual wavelength technology. The operating principle of the sensor is based on NDIR technology, that is, on selective absorption of LED produced infrared radiation by gas molecules. It is intended for fixed and portable no-maintenance gas detectors for industrial safety with automatic continuous measurement of the concentration of hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of hazardous areas. It has a differential dual beam and dual wavelength method that allows for compensation of aging parts, optical element impurity and other non-selective hindrances, which provides an extremely high stability of operation.

• Target application: fixed and portable no-maintenance gas detectors for industrial safety.
• Allows designing battery operated gas detector lasting no less than 12 months without charge.
• Average operating current is less than 150 microAmps.
• Smart sensor with embedded microcontroller returns linearized, temperature-compensated output data.
• LED based dual beam / dual wavelength technology.
• Provides intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia” which does not need metal-ceramic filters.
