DUAL-WAVELENGTH NDIR TECHNOLOGY

Utilizes a differential dual-wavelength LED method to eliminate signal drift caused by temperature, humidity, or lens contamination.

LIFE TIME
Proven durability with a design life over 10 years under continuous operation.

EXPLOSION-PROOF DESIGN
Sensor is designed in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.

COMPACT DIMENSIONS
Extremely small size: 19.9 × 19.9 × 10 mm, enabling seamless installation in miniature enclosures and portable instruments.

MIPEX-1H [CH₄] is a miniature methane sensor based on NDIR technology, developed for portable detectors used in industrial safety. Thanks to its ultra-low power consumption (less than 0.2 mW) and compact design (19.9×19.9×10 mm), the sensor enables long-term autonomous operation in battery-powered devices.

With a wide supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.0 V, MIPEX-1H provides flexible integration into various systems. Its smart microcontroller outputs stable, linearized readings over UART and compensates for temperature changes and environmental factors such as humidity and pressure.

ADVANTAGES:

• Minimal power consumption: less than 65 μA during continuous operation (~0.2 mW), ideal for multi-year battery-powered use.
• Flexible supply voltage: operates from 2.7 V to 5.0 V, allowing compatibility with a broad range of power sources and microcontroller platforms.
• Fast response time: T90 time is just 10 seconds for methane without a dust filter — enabling prompt leak detection.
• High measurement accuracy: ±0.1% vol. or ±5% of reading (whichever is greater) at +20…+25 °C.
• Extended operating range: works in ambient temperatures from -55 to +60 °C and humidity up to 98%.
• Life time: expected operational life exceeds 10 years, even in demanding industrial conditions.

Interface:

• Smart digital output: built-in microcontroller with UART interface delivers ready-to-use, linearized data.

Dimensions:

• Compact form factor: only 19.9 × 19.9 × 10 mm, making it easy to fit into even the smallest portable gas detectors.
• Explosion-proof design: sensor is designed in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.
