MIPEX-1S [CH4]

MIPEX-1S [CH₄] is a miniature methane sensor based on NDIR technology, developed for portable detectors used in industrial safety. Thanks to its ultra-low power consumption (less than 0.2 mW) and compact design (19.9×19.9×10 mm), the sensor enables long-term autonomous operation in battery-powered devices.

With a wide supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.0 V, MIPEX 1S provides flexible integration into various systems. Its smart microcontroller outputs stable, linearized readings over UART and compensates for temperature changes and environmental factors such as humidity and pressure.

ADVANTAGES:

• Minimal power consumption: less than 65 μA during continuous operation (~0.2 mW), ideal for multi-year battery-powered use.
• Flexible supply voltage: operates from 2.7 V to 5.0 V, allowing compatibility with a broad range of power sources and microcontroller platforms.
• Fast response time: T90 time is just 10 seconds for methane without a dust filter — enabling prompt leak detection.
• High measurement accuracy: ±0.1% vol. or ±5% of reading (whichever is greater) at +20…+25 °C.
• Extended operating range: works in ambient temperatures from -55 to +60 °C and humidity up to 98%.
• Life time: expected operational life exceeds 10 years, even in demanding industrial conditions.

Interface:

• Smart digital output: built-in microcontroller with UART interface delivers ready-to-use, linearized data.

Dimensions:

Explosion-proof design: sensor is designed in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.
