Low Power NDIR CH4 sensor using state-of-the-art solid-state LED optical technology

12/08/2022

Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) Sensors – Theory of Operation

NDIR gas sensors work by detecting the amount of light that is absorbed by the target gas. Gases absorb light energy at different wavelengths, depending on the chemical bonds in the gas.

This latest whitepaper from Gas Sensing explores different sensor measurement methods, how the Beer-Lambert Law is derived, and how it can be used to implement a real-world sensor.

Main Features

  • Solid-state NDIR LED optical technology
  • 0.01% typical measurement accuracy
  • Ultra-low power, typically <5mW average
  • Altitude pressure compensation
  • Analogue or digital CH4 measurements
  • I²C or UART digital interface
  • Built-in zero tracking and auto-calibration
  • Real-time temperature correction
