MIPEX-1S [CO2]

Features

MIPEX 1S [CO₂] is a miniaturized solid-state NDIR sensor developed for energy-efficient and accurate carbon dioxide detection in portable safety devices. Its design ensures low energy consumption, robust performance, and long-term reliability.
ULTRA-LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Consumes less than 65 µA on average during continuous operation — ideal for battery-powered systems requiring long autonomous runtime.
INTEGRATED MICROCONTROLLER
Delivers linearized and temperature-compensated CO₂ concentration data over UART interface.
ADVANCED NDIR TECHNOLOGY
Applies a dual-wavelength LED method to minimize errors caused by water vapor, dirt, and temperature fluctuations.
LIFE TIME
Ensures over 10 years of stable performance in industrial and environmental applications.
EXPLOSION-PROOF DESIGN
Compliant with intrinsically safe “ia” standards for operation in hazardous zones.
COMPACT DIMENSIONS
Ultra-small format — only 19.9 × 19.9 × 10 mm, suitable for handheld and portable analyzers.

Technical SPECIFICATIONS

MIPEX 1S [CO₂] is a compact infrared sensor for measuring carbon dioxide in small, battery-powered gas detectors. It uses NDIR technology and consumes very little power — less than 0.2 mW — making it perfect for portable devices that need to work for years without charging.

It works with power supplies from 2.7 V to 5.0 V, and provides stable, accurate measurements even in tough conditions like changing temperature or high humidity.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Ultra-low power consumption (< 0.2 mW) for long battery life
  • Compact size (19.9 × 19.9 × 10 mm) fits into small devices
  • Wide supply voltage range (2.7–5.0 V) for flexible integration
  • Fast CO₂ response time (15–30 s depending on filter)
  • UART interface for easy digital output integration
  • Reliable operation from -55 °C to +60 °C and high humidity
  • Explosion-proof design for use in hazardous areas
  • Designed for 10+ years of stable, maintenance-free use
