The MiCS-5524 is a robust MEMS sensor for indoor carbon monoxide and natural gas leakage detection, it's suitable also for indoor air quality monitoring; breath checker and early fire detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThis sensor is sensitive to CO ( ~ 1 to 1000 ppm), Ammonia (~ 1 to 500 ppm), Ethanol (~ 10 to 500 ppm), H2 (~ 1 - 1000 ppm), and Methane \/ Propane \/ Iso-Butane (~ 1,000++ ppm). \u003cstrong\u003eHowever, it can't tell you which gas it has detected. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis breakout board is not for any safety, medical or finished product usage\u003c\/strong\u003e. We're selling it for hobby education \u0026amp; experimentation and don't guarantee it for \u003cem\u003eany other\u003c\/em\u003e purpose! \u003cstrong\u003eAll gas sensors require calibration for precision output. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing it is easy: Power it with 5 VDC and read the analog voltage off of the output pin. When gasses are detected, the analog voltage will increase in proportion of detected gas. When powered, the heater draws about 25-35mA. You can use the EN pin to power it off (pull it high to 5V to turn off) to conserve energy. Just make sure to wait a second after turning the heater on to make sure its all heated before taking readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach order comes with one assembled and tested MiCS-5524 breakout and a bit of header. You'll need to do some light soldering to attach the header on - or you can use just plain wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-mics5524-gas-sensor-breakout\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCheck out the tutorial for files, example code, diagrams and more!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn-shop.adafruit.com\/product-files\/3199\/AN4-Using-MiCS-Sensors-for-Alcohol-Detection.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eApp Note on Alcohol detection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn-shop.adafruit.com\/product-files\/3199\/MiCS-5524.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMiCS5524 Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-mics5524-gas-sensor-breakout\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEagleCAD and Fritzing files available in tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 20.0mm x 12.7mm x 3.1mm \/ 0.8\" x 0.5\" x 0.1\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 0.9g \/ 0.0oz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":25298867719,"sku":"ADA3199","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/3199-00_1.jpg?v=1663340835","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-mics5524-co-alcohol-and-voc-gas-sensor-breakout","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
