MIPEX-05 PPM [C3H8]
HIGH-SENSITIVE VERSION OF ULTRA-LOW POWER PROPANE SENSOR
MIPEX-05 ppm [C₃H₈] is a high-performance NDIR sensor in the 4th series housing with 10 ppm resolution. It is designed to detect propane at low concentrations - from just 30 ppm - making it ideal for early leak detection in hazardous areas.
Features
MIPEX-05 ppm [C₃H₈] is widely used for emission monitoring and health safety thanks to 10 ppm resolution and improved sensitivity. Due to low-power consumption and high resolution, it allows battery-powered gas detectors to work more years on a single battery and detect low concentrations.
-
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 technology minimizes interference from water vapor and contamination, ensuring high measurement reliability.
-
Explosion-proof design
Intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia” in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.
