TECHNOLOGY
Dual-beam, dual-wavelength LED-based NDIR method for enhanced stability.
OPTICAL HEATING FUNCTION
Prevents condensation on optics in high-humidity environments.
MEASUREMENT RANGE
Up to 100% vol. for methane (CH₄) with diffusion sampling.
INTRINSIC SAFETY
Sensor is designed in compliance with: IECEx, ATEX, UL913, CSA.
LIFE TIME
More than 10 years of continuous operation (24/7).
COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
UART, optional RS-485 (MODBUS).
The MIPEX 1F is a high-precision optical sensor for continuous methane (CH₄) monitoring in stationary gas detection systems.
It operates via diffusion, ensuring accurate measurements in explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental conditions.
An optional optical heating system prevents condensation on critical surfaces, enabling stable performance even in high humidity and low temperatures.
ADVANTAGES:
- Low power consumption: less than 2 mW — ideal for fixed and autonomous systems.
- Low pulse current: less than 5 mA — supports integration with passive current loops.
- Advanced Differential dual beam / dual wavelength NDIR technology: delivers high accuracy across –60 °C to +75 °C.
- Optional optics heating: prevents moisture buildup, maintaining long-term sensor stability.
