Description
Q: What is the detection range of the Figaro TGS4161 CO2 sensor?
A: The Figaro TGS4161 can detect carbon dioxide levels from 350 to 10,000 ppm (parts per million).
Q: What are the typical applications for this CO2 sensor?
A: The TGS4161 is primarily used for indoor air quality monitoring due to its compact size and low power consumption. It is suitable for applications such as ventilation control in homes, offices, and other enclosed spaces.
Q: What type of sensing element does the TGS4161 use?
A: The TGS4161 utilizes a solid electrolyte sensing element, which offers stability and reliability in detecting CO2 concentrations.
Q: What is the sensor's operating temperature and humidity range?
A: The sensor can operate in a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and a humidity range of 5% to 95% RH (relative humidity).
Q: How does the sensor's output signal relate to CO2 concentration?
A: The TGS4161 produces an electromotive force (EMF) output signal that is inversely proportional to the CO2 concentration. This means the output voltage decreases as the CO2 level increases.
