The FCM6812 combustible gas sensor module is a new
unit which utilizes TGS6812, Figaro's catalytic pellistor
type gas sensor which features durability, stability, and
quick gas response. Calibrated under strictly controlled
environmental conditions at Figaro's factory, this module
provides analog output voltage proportional to hydrogen
gas concentration. FCM6812 is resin coated for
waterproofing and electrical insulation purposes, and also
is also capable of detecting sensor wire breakage. The
unit has a wide range of operating temperature from -10°
to +60°C.
Because the TGS6812 sensor can detect methane and
LP gas as well as hydrogen, this module is suitable for
gas leak detection in stationary fuel cells which use
hydrogen generated from combustible gases.
