CH4 methane sensor MIPEX-06 [CH4]

NDIRfor gas analyzersfor industrial gas safety monitoring

Overview
MIPEX-06 [CH4] is an ultra-low power NDIR sensor in the 4th series housing with standard-pin configuration. It is developed for automatic continuous measurement of methane in explosive atmospheres and is designed for integration into portable detectors, battery-powered personal clip devices and wireless fixed gas analyzers.

Features

• Ultra-low power consumption: average power consumption < 0.2 mW.
• Integrated microcontroller: provides linearized, temperature-compensated digital output via UART interface.
• Dual-wavelength technology: reduces interference from water vapor and contamination for reliable readings.
• Explosion-proof design: intrinsically safe protection level "ia" compliant with IECEx, ATEX, UL913 and CSA.
• Standard 4th series housing: durable plastic enclosure ⌀20.1×16.6 mm with standard pin layout for easy integration.
• Long-term stability: designed for stable measurement performance over 10 years.

Applications

• Integration into portable gas detectors and battery-powered personal clip devices.
• Battery-powered wireless measurement systems and fixed gas analyzers.
• Continuous automatic methane monitoring in hazardous/explosive atmospheres.
