1. Description

  MQ2-CO-φ14*5 is a fuel cell type sensor. Carbon monoxide and oxygen undergo corresponding redox reactions on the working electrode and the counter electrode and release charges to form current. The magnitude of the current generated is proportional to the carbon monoxide concentration and follows Faraday's law. The concentration of carbon monoxide can be determined by measuring the magnitude of the current.

6.Precautions

 Soldering is prohibited during installation;

 Aging time should be no less than 48 hours before use;

 Pins must not be broken or bent;

 Electrolyte leakage may cause damage, please do not disassemble the sensor at will;

 Avoid contact with organic solvents (including silicone rubber and other adhesives), coatings, pharmaceuticals, fuel oils and high-concentration gases;

 All electrochemical sensors cannot be completely encapsulated with resin materials, nor can they be immersed in an oxygen-free environment, otherwise the performance of the sensor will be damaged;

 All electrochemical sensors cannot be used in environments containing corrosive gases, which can damage the sensor;

 When measuring the zero point of gas, it must be done in a clean atmosphere;

 When testing and applying the sensor, vertical air intake from the front must be avoided;

 The air intake surface of the sensor must not be blocked or contaminated;

 The waterproof and breathable membrane above the sensor must not be uncovered or damaged;

 It is slow to recover to the initial state after long-term use in a high-concentration gas environment;

 The working electrode and the reference electrode should be in a short-circuit state when the sensor is stored;

 It is forbidden to use hot melt adhesive or sealant with a curing temperature higher than 80℃ to encapsulate the sensor;

 It is forbidden to store and use it in high concentration alkaline gas for a long time;

 The sensor cannot be subjected to excessive impact or vibration;

 Do not use it if the shell is damaged.
