RTGA71 Thermopile Gas Sensor

Production Description

RTGA71 sensor is a single-channel thermopile gas sensor, which contains a thermopile chip based on MEMS technology and connects hundreds of pairs of thermocouples in series, to convert the absorbed infrared radiation into a voltage signal. There is a narrow-band filter in the front of the sensor, and the sensor can be used for the detection of carbon dioxide concentration. The sensor NTC itself has temperature compensation, to improve the measurement accuracy.

Note:

1. The sensor must first calibrate the resistance of the thermistor NTC;
2. The sensor test is affected by factors such as black body temperature, distance, and environment. The V-T table is for reference only. The V-T meter needs to be calibrated before use.
3. The output voltage of the sensor is easily affected by the NTC resistance value. It is necessary to increase the thermal resistance and heat capacity to increase temperature stability. Generally, metal (copper, aluminum) kits are used;
4. In order to reduce the thermal interference between the sensor pins, the sensor pins should be thermally isolated when making a PCB;
5. The hand soldering temperature should be 330±20℃, and single pin soldering time should not exceed 3s;
6. Frequent, excessive vibration, strong impact or collision will cause a resonance inside the sensor to break.
