INIR, the simple sensor solution for carbon dioxide and combustible gases
2015-11-27 01:38:22, Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power AG Pewatron introduces the INIR integrated gas sensor series from SGX Sensortech. The new, innovative infrared sensor makes it easy to detect combustible gases and carbon dioxide. The sensor is suitable for even the harshest environments and provides accurate, fast measurements with a minimum of cabling.
The sensor operates in fixed and portable equipment and instruments, responding quickly to changes in the gas under test and providing accurate and reproducible results. It is protected by an explosion-proof housing that can be easily installed in safety-relevant applications thanks to its shock- and vibration-proof design, among other things.
Humidity is a major challenge for many applications that typically use infrared sensors. Whether it is water from dust protection systems in mining or steam generated during steel production: For optical sensors, this can be a big problem and trigger unwanted false alarms. The INIR solution is equipped with proprietary hardware and firmware that detects moisture and suppresses the corresponding sensor responses. The sensor is therefore ideally suited for environments where there are rapid changes between dryness and humidity.
Inside the product is a powerful and reliable microcontroller powered by an ARM7TDMI core and a 24-bit ADU that ensures the correct delivery of all raw data. The measurement results are transmitted via a digital 14-bit signal. Analog signal output is also possible for measuring instruments with built-in analog-to-digital converter. The product can be calibrated and fully configured via a UART interface.
