CH4 methane sensor MIPEX-05 PPM [CH4]

NDIRinfraredfor leak detection

Overview
MIPEX-05 PPM [CH4] is a high-sensitivity, ultra-low power NDIR infrared gas sensor designed to measure methane in ppm and LEL ranges, with 10 ppm resolution and detection from approximately 100 ppm. It is intended for early leak detection and emission monitoring in industrial and hazardous-area applications.

Key benefits

• 10 ppm resolution for accurate low-concentration ppm and LEL measurements
• Extremely low power consumption for long-life battery-powered detectors
• Integrated microcontroller providing linearized, temperature-compensated digital output
• Dual-wavelength NDIR design to reduce interference from water vapor and contamination
• Intrinsically safe construction suitable for hazardous-area installations

Features
MIPEX-05 PPM [CH4] combines improved sensitivity and low power use to enable portable and fixed detectors to monitor methane at low concentrations over extended periods without frequent recharging or maintenance.

Technology
The sensor performs simultaneous monitoring of ppm and LEL concentrations. Dual-wavelength NDIR technology minimizes cross-interference from humidity and contaminants. An integrated microcontroller supplies linearized, temperature-compensated digital output via a UART interface for straightforward system integration.

Safety & Compliance
Designed with intrinsically safe explosion protection level "ia" and compliant with IECEx, ATEX, UL913 and CSA standards for installation in hazardous areas.

Mechanical
Standard 4th-series durable plastic housing; documented physical size Ø20.1×16.6 mm for easy integration into portable and stationary devices.
