MIPEX-04 ppm [CH4]
Ultra-low power methane sensor for compact gas detectors
MIPEX-04 PPM CH₄ is a high-performance NDIR sensor with 10 ppm resolution, designed to detect methane at low concentrations — from just 50 ppm up to 5% vol.
Features
Smart NDIR sensor for portable gas detectors, offering precise methane detection with ultra-low power consumption (less than 100 µA average current)for long-term autonomous use.It allows designing battery operated gas detector lasting more than 12 months without charge
-
ULTRA-LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Average power consumption ≤ 0.3 mW -
INTEGRATED MICROCONTROLLER
Returns linearized and temperature-compensated digital output via UART interface. -
TECHNOLOGY
The simultaneous control of ppm and LEL concentrations. Dual-wavelength LED‑based technology minimizes interference from water vapor and contamination, ensuring high measurement reliability. -
