Product description: Fermion - CO carbon monoxide sensor - MEMS - 5-5000 ppm - DFRobot SEN0564
A sensor from DFRobot that detects the concentration of carbon monoxide CO in a room. The module uses MEMS technology, which not only allows for obtaining highly precise measurements in the range from 5 ppm to 5000 ppm , but also minimizes the size of the board, ensures low energy consumption and significantly reduces heat generation by the system. The sensor is used in the implementation of alarm systems whose task is to inform about carbon monoxide leaks, it can also be used in the production of portable meters.

Fermion - CO carbon monoxide sensor - MEMS - 5-5000 ppm - DFRobot SEN0564.
Carbon monoxide is commonly known as carbon monoxide - it is odorless and colorless, and has strong toxic properties.
What is carbon monoxide and where is it found?
Carbon monoxide, also known as carbon monooxide (CO), is a colorless and odorless gas that is only non-toxic at low concentrations. It becomes very dangerous if we stay in contact with it for a long time and in higher concentrations. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of coal and other carbon-containing materials such as gasoline, wood, coal, fuel oil, natural gas and biomass. It can be released by cars, stoves, boilers and other devices burning fossil fuels inside or near buildings. It is also present in fire smoke. Why is WHAT so dangerous? Excess carbon monoxide can lead to hypoxia of organs and tissues, which makes it particularly dangerous in closed spaces.
Suggested use of the sensor
- Petrochemical detection of carbon monoxide
- Carbon monoxide detection in metallurgy
- Air analysis in mines
- Broadly understood environmental protection
- Smart farming
Special features of the sensor
- It has a modernized MEMS system for precise CO measurement.
- Compact dimensions (13 x 13 x 2.4 mm) allow for easy integration with other project components.
- It has low energy consumption.
- Provides precise and stable value reading.
- It has high sensitivity and short response time.
Precautions during use
- Before using the sensor, remove the protective film.
- Avoid using it in an environment where it will be exposed to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as H2S, SOX, Cl2, HCl, among others).
- Protect the sensor from contamination with alkalis, alkali metal salts and halogens.
- Avoid long-term exposure of the tile to unfavorable conditions (such as high temperatures, high humidity, high pollution).
- Do not expose the module to water.
- Do not expose the module to vibrations, impacts or falls from height.
- Do not test the module on systems that involve personal security concerns.
