NDIR propane sensor MIPEX-04 ppm [C3H8]

for leak detectionfor air quality monitoringfor the chemical industry

Product Overview: The MIPEX-04 PPM [C₃H₈] gas sensor is an ultra-low-power NDIR sensor designed for accurate and continuous propane detection from 30 ppm to 2.5% vol. It is ideal for portable and fixed detectors in industrial environments, offering high sensitivity and energy efficiency for early leak detection in explosive atmospheres.

Features:
- LED-based NDIR design with ultra-low power consumption and high sensitivity for detecting propane at very low concentrations.
- LED-based infrared source and dual-wavelength technology to reduce interference from water vapor and optical contamination.
- Designed for portable gas detectors used in industrial safety systems where long battery life and reliable performance are critical.
- Detects propane from as low as 30 ppm — suitable for early leak detection.
- Average current consumption is less than 100 µA, ideal for energy-efficient designs.
- Built-in microcontroller provides linear, temperature-compensated signal via UART.
- Explosion-proof design (level “ia”) without the need for metal-ceramic sinters.

Advantages:
- Detects propane from 30 ppm to 2.5% vol.
- 10 ppm measurement resolution.
- Low power consumption: less than 100 µA average current.
- Certified explosion-proof design (Ex ia).
- Linear, temperature-compensated output via UART.
