INIR-ME5

INIR-ME5 is an integrated IR (INIR) sensor that has been designed with the latest technology, using a microcontroller with an ARM7 core and via software design, the necessary techniques have been implemented to increase the reliability of the device, therefore minimizing the probability of faults. The INIR is a user-friendly digital gas sensor, that is designed to use latest SGX Sensortech’s infrared technology. The sensor is designed to decrease the implementation time, therefore increasing productivity. The Integrated IR sensor incorporates necessary electronics and embedded software to operate from a low-voltage DC power supply. The sensor will process the raw signals to output a linear, temperature compensated signal proportional to the gas concentration applied. The integrated IR can also be factory calibrated to allow installation without the need for recalibration. Recommended applications include mining, automation and control, indoor air quality, industrial health and safety.

• Gas sensor with automatic switchover between ranges, multi-sensor mode
• Analog output of gas concentration, serial port communication
• Internal temperature sensor, active and reference signals monitored
• Full faults diagnostics and error generation, cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
• Typical low power consumption < 100mW (average)
• Easy implementation into sensors network, design for use in hazardous areas
• Certified sensor for use in explosive atmospheres (EX)
• 0-5% standard calibration, factory calibrated for methane
• 100% nitrogen for zero calibration, 5.0% CH4 for high span cal, 2.0% CH4 for offset cal
• Operating temp range from -40°C to 75°C, max dimension is 20.1mm diameter x 16.70mm height

Warnings

Do not expose the sensor to corrosive gases or operate under corrosive environments. Do not paint or mark the sensor externally. Do not clean the sensor with acid.
