CO Gas Sensor Module

The CO Gas Sensor Module is designed to allow a microcontroller to determine when a preset CO gas level has been reached or exceeded.  Interfacing with the sensor module is done through a 4-pin SIP header and requires two I/O pins from the host microcontroller. The sensor module is mainly intended to provide a means of comparing carbon monoxide sources and being able to set an alarm limit when the source becomes excessive.

Features:

• Uses the MQ-7 CO Gas Sensor
• Easy SIP interface
• Compatible with most microcontrollers

Kit Contents:

ATTENZIONE!

Questo sensore è stato progettato per uso sperimentale E' TASSATIVAMENTE PROIBITO L'USO IN APPLICAZIONI CHE COINVOLGONO ESSERI UMANI O ANIMALI

Note: Parallax does not provide gas calibration data on the module and such data and alarm setting is the responsibility of the user to define.  For information on user calibration please see the documentation.

Precautions:
Be aware that a carbon monoxide concentration greater than 1000 parts ppm (parts per million) is deadly.  Automotive exhaust and charcoal cooking grill exhausts can be above 1000 ppm in carbon monoxide.

Always be careful to perform gas tests in well-ventilated areas.
