  CGS500 Datasheet

The CGS500 combustible gas sensor has been designed to measure concentrations of combustible gases in the range 0-100% LEL.

Sensor Technology

Each sensor contains two thermocatalytic elements. Combustible gases will oxidise on the surface of the active element while the reference element compensates for changes in temperature, pressure etc. Each element consists of a coil of fine platinum wire surrounded by an alumina based substrate containing a catalyst.

An electric current is passed through the elements which raises the temperature to a level where oxidation will occur. The catalyst reduces the temperature at which oxidation occurs, thus prolonging the life of the elements and resulting in much lower power consumption.

Sensor Options

The CGS500 sensor is available with alternative elements. The CGS500-NP30 is general purpose robust sensor. The CGS500-300P has enhanced poison resistance and the CGS500-VQ41 is optimised for monitoring concentrations of ammonia and kerosene.
