PRODUCT INFORMATION
TGS 3870 - for the detection of both Methane
and Carbon Monoxide
Features:
* Miniature size and low power consumption * High sensitivity and selectivity to both methane and carbon monoxide (CO) * Low sensitivity to alcohol vapor * Long life and low cost
Applications:
* Combination methane and carbon monoxide detectors
TGS 3870 is Figaro's new metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor for the detection of both methane and carbon monoxide. Using a micro-bead gas sensing structure, both methane and carbon monoxide can be detected with a single sensor element by periodic application of two different heater voltages (high and low). Miniaturization of the gas sensing bead results in a heater power consumption of only 38mW (average).
