GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

Application & Description 

 

MDS-4 is a 

methane sensor module for

 CH

4

 

detection

. It 

includes a compact optical 

cell and electronics for LED

 

power supply and PD signal amplification all

-in-one. 

 

Features 

 

Diffusion type detection

 

 

Measurement in 0

-5% 

(volume)

 concentration range

 

 

Resolution down to 

250 

ppm in 0

-5% 

(volume) 

concentration range 

 

 

Very low power consumption 

– 

3.5 mW

 

 

 

Quick 

response time

 – <2 s

 

 

Operating t

emperature 

range – 0..+40°C 

 

 

Size: 55x26x14 mm (including optical cell and circuitry)

 

 

Gases: pre

calibrated for

 

methane, but will respond to most hydrocarbons

 

 

Possibility 

of

 

integration  with  wireless  data  transfer  protocols  like  Zigbee,  WiFi, 

GPRS 

 

Possibility 

of

 power battery supply  

 

Appearance & Layout

 

 

1.

 

Optical cell with an LED 

Lms34LED

-

CG and a photodiode Lms36PD

-05-CG 

2.

 

Power input 

3.

 

Temperature and m

easuring signal output 

 

Temperature compensation

 

In t

he  module

  there  is  realis

ed  a  circuit  for  measurement  of  LED’s

  operation 

voltage  for  temperature  determination  of  the  optical  cell

.  It 

enables  temperature 

compensation

 

of measuring signal 

in 0...+40°C range. 

 

Operation conditions

 

Indoor operation only.

 Ingress Protection Rating IP00.
