Description

The TGS5042-A00 utilizes an advanced electrochemical sensing principle to detect carbon monoxide concentrations with high accuracy and long-term stability. Its sealed construction eliminates the risk of electrolyte leakage, making it a reliable and maintenance-free solution for continuous monitoring applications.

Engineered for integration into digital display systems, the sensor outputs a current signal proportional to CO concentration (1.2-2.4 nA/ppm), allowing for precise measurement and alarm triggering. Its robust design supports operation in environments with 5-99% relative humidity (non-condensing), ensuring performance in varied indoor conditions.

Key Features

  • High-concentration CO detection up to 1% (10,000 ppm)
  • Environmentally friendly, leak-proof electrochemical cell
  • Excellent long-term stability and sensor life
  • Low operating current suitable for battery-powered devices
  • Fast response time, reaching 90% of signal within 60 seconds
  • Minimal baseline offset (<±10 ppm equivalent)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the TGS5042-A00 sensor?

The TGS5042-A00 provides a current output proportional to the carbon monoxide concentration. Its sensitivity in CO is 1.2 to 2.4 nanoamperes per part-per-million (nA/ppm). This analog current signal can be converted to a voltage using a precision resistor for input to a microcontroller's ADC or a dedicated signal conditioning circuit.

Can this sensor be powered by a standard battery?

Yes, the TGS5042-A00 is specifically designed for battery-operated applications. It is packaged in a standard AA battery-sized form factor and has a low operating current, making it ideal for integration into portable CO detectors or fixed monitors with battery backup. Ensure your circuit design accommodates the sensor's operating voltage requirements as specified in the datasheet.

Does the sensor require calibration?

Each Figaro Engineering TGS5042-A00 sensor ships with individual performance data printed in a barcode on the device. This allows OEMs to incorporate this data into their end product's firmware, potentially skipping the costly and time-consuming gas calibration process in production. For ultimate accuracy, periodic field calibration against a known standard is recommended for critical safety applications.

What is the sensor's response time?

The TGS5042-A00 has a response time (T90) of within 60 seconds, meaning it reaches 90% of its final output signal within one minute of exposure to a step change in CO concentration. This fast response is suitable for safety applications where timely detection and alarm triggering are essential.
