e2v MiCS-2710
the MiCS-2710 sensor described in this document to avoid erroneous readings and to prevent the device from permanent damage.FEATURES
● Low heater current● Wide detection range
● High sensitivity
● Fast thermal response
● Miniature dimensions
● High resistance to shocks and vibrations IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Read the following instructions carefully before using
● The sensor must not be wave soldered without protection, or exposed to high concentrations of organic solvents, ammonia, or silicone vapours, to avoid poisoning the sensitive layer.
● Heating powers above the maximum rating of 120 mW can destroy the sensor due to overheating.
● This sensor is to be placed in a filtered package that protects it against any water or dust projection.
● For any additional questions, email enquiries@e2v.com or telephone +44 (0)1245 493493. OPERATING MODE The recommended mode of operation is a constant power mode. A heater power of PH = 43 mW is applied. This causes the temperature of the sensing resistor (RS) to reach about 220 °C. Detection of the pollution gases is achieved by measuring the sensing resistor RS during operation.
