They are used in gas leakage detecting equipments in family and industry, are suitable for detecting of LPG, natural gas , town gas, avoid the noise of alcohol and cooking fumes and cigarette smoke.
Features:MQ5 Gas Sensor
- High sensitivity to LPG, natural gas , town gas
- Small sensitivity to alcohol, smoke.
- Fast response
- Stable and long life
- Simple drive circuit
Sensitivity Adjustment:MQ5 gas Sensor
Resistance value of MQ-5 is difference to various kinds and various concentration gases. So, When using this components, sensitivity adjustment is very necessary. we recommend that you calibrate the detector for 1000ppm H2 or LPG concentration in air and use value of Load resistance ( RL) about 20 KΩ(10KΩ to 47KΩ).
When accurately measuring, the proper alarm point for the gas detector should be determined after considering the temperature and humidity influence.
