Gas Sensor S1002- H2

VT

Type S1002- H2

Description: The VT S1002-H2 gas sensor is mainly composed of three parts:MEMS silicon-based heater, nano-material and surface-mounted ceramic shell.
It is a gas sensor for detecting hydrogen concentration.

When the sensor works stably in a clean air environment,
set the sensitive resistance of the sensor at this time as
the sensor reference resistance (R0).

Once the measured gas exists in the air, the conductivity of the semiconductor material will change, and the sensor will The sensitive resistance (Rs) also changes accordingly.

The concentration of the measured gas is mapped and calculated according to the ratio of the sensor sensitive resistance (Rs) and the sensor reference resistance (R0).

Features: 1.Small size, Low power consumption
2.Good stability
3.High sensitivity
4.Good ivity
5.Simple driving circuit

standard test conditions.

The ordinate is the sensor resistance ratio (Rs/R0) at different temperatures and humidity
and the abscissa is the temperature.

Rs represents the resistance value of the sensor in clean air at various temperatures
and humidity, R0 indicates the resistance value of the device in clean air at temperature/humidity of 20°C/65% R.H.

 Long-term stability

The figure below is the long-term stability characteristic curve under standard test conditions. 
The left ordinate is the sensitivity of the sensor in the air sensing
resistance R , the right ordinate is the sensitivity Rs/R0 of the sensor to 100 ppm hydrogen, 
and the abscissa is the aging time.    

 

 

 Electrical connections

The basic detection circuit of the sensor is mainly composed of heater voltage 
(Vh), loop measurement voltage (Vc) and load matching resistance (Rm). 

The heater voltage (Vh) is used to start and maintain the sensitivity of the 
nanomaterial, and the loop measurement voltage (Vc) combined with the load 
matching resistance (Rm) is used to determine the load matching voltage (Vm).

The sensor sensitive resistance (Rs) can be calculated from the measured value of 
the load matching voltage (Vm), namely :

Precautions

1.The use and storage of the sensor must avoid long-term exposure to strong
acid, strong alkali, and strong corrosive gas environment, otherwise it will
affect the performance of the sensor and may cause irreversible deterioration or damage of the sensor. 

2.During the use and storage of the sensor, the ambient temperature and 
humidity should not exceed the applicable temperature and humidity of the 
sensor, otherwise it will affect the sensitive material layer in the sensor, 
change its properties, and cause damage to the sensor.

3.During the use of the sensor, the heating voltage and measuring voltage should
 be applied according to the regulations to achieve the best test performance. Avoid applying high voltage, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the internal structure of the sensor.

4.The sensor needs to detect within the specified target gas concentration range,
and should avoid long-term exposure to high-concentration target gas, other
-wise its sensing performance cannot be displayed normally, and the sensor may even be damaged. 

5.It is necessary to avoid ultra-high-intensity vibration and shock during the use 
or transportation of the sensor, such as ultrasonic vibration, etc. 
It will cause damage to the sensing core components.
