IR601/2

IR601/2 are gas sensors that detect the presence of a gas or gas mixture in a variety of applications. These sensors are used for the detection of combustible gases, toxic gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and oxygen levels in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. They are capable of providing accurate measurements with low levels of power consumption.

The IR601/2 is a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) type gas sensor that is sensitive to a specific gas in the environment. It consists of an infrared source, a detector, and a quartz cell window that is used to direct infrared light to the sample gas. The quartz cell window has a bandpass filter that allows only the wavelength specific to the gas to be detected. When the sample gas is present, it absorbs the infrared light and the amount of light measured by the sensor is proportional to the concentration of the gas.

The working principle of the IR601/2 is based on the Beer-Lambert law. This law states that the amount of light absorbed by a gas is proportional to the concentration of gas and the light’s path length. The gas sample is illuminated with an infrared beam, and the amount of light absorbed by the gas is measured and compared to a reference input. The output of the sensor is then adjusted to indicate the concentration of the gas.

The IR601/2 is used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from gas detection in the automotive and engineering industries to environmental applications such as air quality monitoring. They are also used in medical oxygen and nitrous oxide detection, as well as process control and safety in the pharmaceutical, food, and other industries. These sensors have a long working life and are stable over a wide temperature range. They can be mounted externally or can be integrated with other sensors. They also provide accurate and reliable results, which make them a popular choice for many applications.

The IR601/2 is a robust and reliable gas sensor that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Its non-dispersive infrared design allows for accurate and reliable readings, and it can be easily integrated with other components to provide a complete system for gas detection. Its long-term operation, low power consumption, and resistance to corrosion make it an ideal choice for a variety of sensing applications.
