Description

The ME3-CO sensor operates on a proven electrochemical fuel cell principle. Target gas molecules undergo an oxidation reaction at the working electrode within the sealed electrolytic cell, generating a current proportional to the gas concentration as per Faraday’s law. This analog current output provides a direct and linear measurement of ambient CO levels.

Engineered for reliability, the sensor features a 10Ω load resistance and demonstrates strong anti-interference characteristics, ensuring stable readings in complex industrial atmospheres. Its construction is optimized for long-term deployment in environmental protection and industrial safety systems, with specified storage conditions of -20°C to 50°C and 15-90% RH.

Key Features

  • Electrochemical sensing element with high precision and linear output.
  • Low zero drift (10ppm) and excellent repeatability (<2% of output value).
  • Minimal cross-sensitivity for reliable CO-specific detection.
  • Robust housing designed for consistent performance across a wide pressure range.
  • High-value build offering optimized performance-to-cost ratio for volume applications.
  • Simple interface requiring only a basic signal conditioning circuit for current measurement.

Applications

  • Industrial safety systems for carbon monoxide leak detection in factories and workshops.
  • Environmental monitoring stations for urban air quality and pollution tracking.
  • Residential and commercial CO alarms and smart home safety devices.
  • HVAC system air intake quality monitoring and control.
  • Portable gas detectors for occupational health and safety inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the ME3-CO sensor and how do I interface with it?

The ME3-CO sensor provides a linear current output proportional to CO concentration, with a sensitivity of (0.070±0.015)µA/ppm. To interface it, you need to connect it to a transimpedance amplifier or a precision resistor (load resistance is 10Ω) to convert the current signal into a measurable voltage for your microcontroller or data acquisition system.

What is the typical response time and how often does this sensor require calibration?

The sensor has a fast response time of less than 20 seconds to reach 90% of the final reading (T90). Due to its excellent stability of less than 5% drift per month, periodic calibration is recommended every 6 to 12 months for critical applications, though it can operate longer in less demanding environments.

Can this sensor be used for battery-powered or portable devices?

Yes, the ME3-CO is suitable for portable devices due to its inherently low power consumption electrochemical design. Its minimal zero drift and stable performance make it ideal for battery-operated air quality monitors, personal safety alarms, and handheld gas detectors.
