GM-502B MEMS VOC Gas Sensor Product description MEMS combustible gas sensor is using MEMS micro-fabrication hot plate on a Si substrate base, gas-sensitive materials used in the clean air with low conductivity metal oxide semiconductor material. When the sensor exposed to gas atmosphere, the conductivity is changing as the detected gas concentration in the air.

Instructions: The above fig is the basic test circuit of GM-502B.The sensor requires two voltage inputs: heater voltage (V ) and circuit voltage (V ). V is used to supply specific working temperature to the sensor and it can adopt DC or AC power. V is the voltage of load resistance R which is in series with sensor.
Long-term stability: Fig7.long-term Stability Test is finished in standard test conditions, the abscissa is observing time and the ordinate is voltage output of RL. Instructions: 1. Preheating time Sensor’s resistance may drift reversibly after long-term storage without power. It need to preheat the sensor to reach inside chemical equilibrium.

Manual: 1. Preheating time Sensor needs some time to reach inside chemical equilibrium so it takes some preheating time. Generally, the sensor at a relatively high temperature will reach equilibrium faster, so you can boot in the first tens of seconds, it can give a higher voltage sensor to warm up.
2. Sensor Calibration For absolute concentration measurement, sensors accuracy can be affected by many factors such as reference resistance difference, the sensitivity difference, temperature, humidity, interfering gases, aging time, therefore they need regular calibration. For relative measurement calibration is not required. Because the sensor characteristic curve is not linear, it is recommended in the whole range of multi-point calibration and consider the influence of temperature and humidity.
