Description

Overview: MIPEX-02 [C₃H₈] is a smart infrared gas sensor designed for accurate and reliable propane detection in harsh environments. It features ultra-low power consumption (
Features:
- Low power consumption: Average power consumption below 1.5 mW, allowing integration into portable and battery-powered devices.
- Integrated microcontroller: Delivers linearized and temperature-compensated output via UART interface.
- Dual-wavelength LED technology: Compensates for high water vapor and optical pollution, providing accurate and stable readings.
- Explosion-proof design: Intrinsically safe explosion protection level ia. Certified for use in explosive atmospheres according to IEC/EN 60079-0, 60079-11 and UL913 / CSA standards.
- Standard 4th series size: Compatible with industry-standard enclosures: 20.3 × 16.6 mm.
