Description

The MQ-131 ozone gas sensor module utilizes a tin dioxide (SnO2) semiconductor sensing element. In clean air, the sensor’s conductivity is low. When ozone gas is present, the conductivity increases proportionally with the gas concentration. An onboard circuit converts this change in conductivity into corresponding analog and digital output signals for measurement.

The module is designed for straightforward integration into environmental monitoring systems, portable detectors, and air quality stations. It features a plug-in probe design for easy testing and replacement, along with an indicator LED for visual output status. The sensor also exhibits cross-sensitivity to other oxidizing gases like chlorine (Cl2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which should be considered for specific application filtering.

Key Features

  • Semiconductor (SnO2) sensing technology for ozone detection.
  • Dual-signal output: analog voltage (increases with concentration) and TTL-level digital (active-low) output.
  • High sensitivity with a broad detection range from 10 parts-per-billion (PPB) to 2 parts-per-million (PPM).
  • Onboard signal conditioning circuitry for direct microcontroller interface.
  • Integrated status LED indicates digital output state.
  • Compact PCB design with pre-drilled mounting holes for secure installation.
  • Plug-and-play probe design facilitates maintenance and calibration.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for continuous air quality monitoring.

Applications

  • Indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring stations for ozone concentration.
  • Portable personal ozone exposure detectors for occupational safety.
  • Integration into HVAC systems for building air quality control.
  • Environmental research and data logging of atmospheric ozone levels.
  • Educational kits for gas sensing and environmental science projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the MQ-131 sensor module?

The MQ-131 module is designed to operate at a standard 5V DC supply. This voltage powers both the sensor's heater and the signal conditioning circuitry. Ensure your power source can provide stable 5V to maintain accurate sensor readings and prevent damage.

How do I interpret the analog and digital outputs?

The analog output provides a voltage signal (typically 0-5V) that increases proportionally with the ozone concentration. The TTL digital output is an active-low signal; it goes LOW when the gas concentration exceeds a pre-set threshold, which is also indicated by the onboard LED lighting up.

Does the sensor require a pre-heating period before use?

Yes, like most metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, the MQ-131 requires an initial pre-heating period, typically 24-48 hours, for the readings to stabilize. For accurate measurements, it is recommended to power the sensor continuously during its operational life.

Can this sensor be used with 3.3V microcontrollers like the ESP32?

The module's 5V logic levels are not directly compatible with 3.3V systems like the ESP32. For the digital TTL pin, use a logic level converter. The analog output can be connected directly to a 3.3V analog input, as the 0-5V signal will be scaled down accordingly by the ADC's voltage reference.
