VT
Type S1001
Description： VTS1001 gas sensor is mainly composed of MEMS silicon-based heater, nano-material and surface-mounted ceramic shell.
It is a gas sensor for detecting VOC concentration.
This gas sensor has high sensitivity and is less affected by temperature and humidity.
When the sensor works stably in a clean air environment,
set the sensitive resistance of the sensor 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 the sensitive resistance (Rs) of the tester also changes accordingly.
The concentration of the gas to be measured is calculated according to the ratio of the sensitive resistance of the sensor (Rs) to the reference resistance of the sensor (R0).
Features： 1.Small size, Low power consumption

◆ 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.
