Intelligent sensor management propane sensor MIPEX-06 [C3H8]

NDIRinfraredfor industrial gas safety monitoring

Overview
MIPEX-06 [C3H8] is an ultra-low power NDIR sensor in the 4th series housing with standard-pin configuration. It is designed for automatic continuous measurement of propane (C3H8) in explosive atmospheres and for integration in portable and fixed gas detection systems where long autonomous operation is required.

Key features

• Ultra-low power consumption: average power consumption < 0.2 mW
• Integrated microcontroller: linearized and temperature-compensated digital output via UART interface
• Dual-wavelength technology: reduces interference from water vapor and contamination for improved measurement reliability
• Explosion-proof design: intrinsically safe protection level 'ia' compliant with IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA
• Standard 4th series housing: durable plastic enclosure Ø20.1 × 16.6 mm with standard-pin configuration
• Long-term stability: designed for stable operation over more than 10 years

Applications

• Continuous automatic monitoring of propane in hazardous/explosive atmospheres
• Portable gas detectors and battery-powered personal clip devices
• Wireless fixed gas analyzers and remote monitoring systems requiring long battery life and low maintenance
