Features

MIPEX-06 [CH₄] is designed for integration into portable detectors, battery-powered personal clip devices and wireless fixed gas analyzers. Its combination of low-power consumption and high measurement reliability allows detectors to work more years autonomously on a single battery reducing financial costs and frequency of service in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.

  • ULTRA-LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

    Average power consumption ≤ 0.2 mW.

  • INTEGRATED MICROCONTROLLER

    Returns linearized and temperature-compensated digital output via UART interface.

  • TECHNOLOGY

    Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensing founded on selective absorption of infrared light, utilizing a dual-wavelength LED-based method to minimize the effects of humidity, dust, and optical contamination.

  • EXPLOSION-PROOF DESIGN

    Intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia” in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.

  • STANDARD SERIES 4 SIZE

    Durable plastic housing ⌀20.1×16.6 mm with standard-pin configuration.

  • LONG-TERM MEASUREMENT STABILITY OVER 10 YEARS
