MIPEX-02 sensors for mining (Group I)

General description

Infrared gas sensor for methane and carbon dioxide detection.

Temperature range -10 to +40 ^oC

Sampling method – diffusion.

Communication with instrument electronics - via digital UART interface.

Features: 

• Ultralow power consuption - less than 5 mW
• Measuring range up to 100% vol. methane
• Minimized cross sensitivity to ethane, matching the requirements of IEC 60079-29-1
• Microcontroller and temperature sensor inside provide linearized and temperature compensated output readings
• Calibration constants are saved in nonvolatile memeory
• Highest level of intrincically safe explosion protection 'ia'
• Sinters free

Design versions

MIPEX-02 infrared gas sensors are available in three housing types:

metalliс standard  - loaded conservatively and having enviromental stability;

fast response metallic - with additional side holes, providing improved speed-of-response due to more active diffusion;

plastiс standard - having comparable with metallic one parameters and smaller weight.

Sensors in metallic housing are used mainly in portable and compact devices .

Sensors in "fast response" housing provide T90<10 secs. and are ideal for stationary units where improved response time is required.

Plastic sensors are suited for embedded and price sensetive devices.

Design versions

MIPEX-02 infrared gas sensors are available in three housing types:

metalliс standard  - loaded conservatively and having enviromental stability;

fast response metallic - with additional side holes, providing improved speed-of-response due to more active diffusion;

plastiс standard - having comparable with metallic one parameters and smaller weight.

Sensors in metallic housing are used mainly in portable and compact devices, as well us in applications with agressive environments, for example in stall barns and poultry factories.

Sensors in "fast response" housing provide T90<10s and are ideal for fixed detectors where improved response time is required.

Plasic sensors are suited for price sensetive devices.

MIPEX-03 series of infrared gas sensors

MIPEX TECHNOLOGY proudly presents the most advanced technology available in the market - the third generation of MIPEX infrared combustible gas sensors.

MIPEX-03 sensors operate by using NDIR principle. The sensor contains LED with optimized spectrum and signal processing algorithm, an optical system, specially designed photo diodes, an imbedded temperature sensor and electronics to process the signals.

The sensor communicates with instrument electronics via digital or analog output. Having power consumption less than 3,5 mW MIPEX-03 sensors reach less than 10 second response time.

All MIPEX-03 sensors have the highest level of intrinsically safe explosion protection “ia”. To meat exacting customer requirements ‘intelligent’ MIPEX-03 sensor with microcontroller inside provides extended features and amongst other advantages dramatically reduces development cost and time.

More than 70 modifications of MIPEX-03 sensor are now available for order.
