Working Principle

Description

The Winsen MC119 sensor operates on the catalytic combustion principle. It features two arms of an electric bridge, which includes a test element and a compensate element. The resistance of the test element increases when exposed to combustible gases, causing a change in the output voltage of the bridge. This voltage variation is directly proportional to the gas concentration. The compensate element helps in compensating for temperature and humidity effects.

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid High Concentration Exposure: Do not expose the sensor to gas concentrations outside the 0-100% LEL range to prevent sensor damage.,
  • Prevent Exposure To Extreme Conditions: Avoid using or storing the sensor in environments outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.

Dos

  • Ensure Correct Voltage: Operate the sensor at the specified voltage of 2.5±0.1 V to ensure accurate functioning.,
  • Check Compatibility: Use the sensor within its specified gas detection range and environmental conditions.
