MQ-6 Semiconductor Sensor for LPG Sensitive material of MQ-6 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gas exist, The sensor’s conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising. Please use simple electrocircuit, Convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration. MQ-6 gas sensor has high sensitity to Propane, Butane and LPG, also response to Natural gas. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas, especially Methane, it is with low cost and suitable for different application. Character * Good sensitivity to Combustible gas in wide range * High sensitivity to Propane, Butane and LPG * Long life and low cost * Simple drive circuit Application * Domestic gas leakage detector * Industrial Combustible gas detector * Portable gas detector Configuration www.DataSheet4U.com Technical Data Model No. Sensor Type Standard Encapsulation Detection Gas Concentration Loop Voltage Circuit Heater Voltage Load Resistance Heater Resistance Heater Character consumption Sensing Resistance Sensitivity Slope Vc VH RL RH PH Rs S α MQ-6 Semiconductor Bakelite (Black Bakelite) Isobutane, Butane, LPG 300-10000ppm ( Butane, Propane, LPG) ≤24V DC 5.0V±0.2V ACorDC Adjustable 31Ω±3Ω(Room Tem.) ≤900mW 2KΩ-20KΩ(in 2000ppm C3H8) Rs(in air)/Rs(1000ppm C4H10)≥5 ≤0.6( R2000ppm/R1000ppm LPG ) 20℃±2℃;65%±5%RH Vc:5.0V±0.1V; VH: 5.0V±0.1V Over 48 hours Basic test loop Vc VRL RL VH GND The above is basic test circuit of the sensor. The sensor need to be put 2 voltage, heater voltage (VH) and test voltage (VC) . VH used to supply certified working temperature to the sensor, while VC used to detect voltage (VRL) on load resistance (RL)whom is in series with sensor. The sensor has light polarity, Vc need DC power. VC and VH could use same power circuit with precondition to assure performance of sensor. In order to make the sensor with better performance, suitable RL value is needed: Power of Sensitivity body(Ps): Tem. Humidity Condition Standard test circuit Preheat time Ps=Vc2×Rs/(Rs+RL)2 Resistance of sensor(Rs): Rs=(Vc/VRL-1)×RL Sensitivity Characteristics Influence of Temperature/Humidity Fig.1 shows the typical sensitivity characteristics of the MQ-6, ordinate means resistance ratio of the sensor (Rs/Ro), abscissa is concentration of gases. Rs means resistance in different gases, Ro means resistance of sensor in 1000ppm LPG. All test are under standard test conditions. Fig.2 shows the typical temperature and humidity characteristics. Ordinate means resistance ratio of the sensor (Rs/Ro), Rs means resistance of sensor in 1000ppm Methane under different tem. and humidity. Ro means resistance of the sensor in environment of 1000ppm Propane, 20℃/65%RH Structure and configuration Structure and configuration of MQ-6 gas sensor is shown as Fig. 3, sensor composed by micro AL2O3 ceramic tube, Tin Dioxide (SnO2) sensitive layer, measuring electrode and heater are fixed into a crust made by plastic and stainless steel net. The heater provides necessary work conditions for work of sensitive components. The enveloped MQ-4 have 6 pin, 4 of them are used to fetch signals, and other 2 are used for providing heating current. Notification 1 Following conditions must be prohibited 1.1 Exposed to organic silicon steam Organic silicon steam cause sensors invalid, sensors must be avoid exposing to silicon bond, fixature, silicon latex, putty or plastic contain silicon environment 1.2 High Corrosive gas If the sensors exposed to high concentration corrosive gas (such as H2Sz, SOX,Cl2,HCl etc), it will not only result in corrosion of sensors structure, also it cause sincere sensitivity attenuation. 1.3 Alkali, Alkali metals salt, halogen pollution The sensors performance will be changed badly if sensors be sprayed polluted by alkali metals salt especially brine, or be exposed to halogen such as fluorin. 1.4 Touch water Sensitivity of the sensors will be reduced when spattered or dipped in water. 1.5 Freezing Do avoid icing on sensor’surface, otherwise sensor would lose sensitivity. 1.6 Applied voltage higher Applied voltage on sensor should not be higher than stipulated value, otherwise it cause down-line or heater damaged, and bring on sensors’ sensitivity characteristic changed badly. 1.7 Voltage on wrong pins For 6 pins sensor, if apply voltage on 1、3 pins or 4、6 pins, it will make lead broken, and without signal when apply on 2、4 pins 2 Following conditions must be avoided 2.1 Water Condensation Indoor conditions, slight water condensation will effect sensors performance lightly. However, if water condensation on sensors surface and keep a certain period, sensor’ sensitivity will be decreased. 2.2 Used in high gas concentration No matter the sensor is electrified or not, if long time placed in high gas concentration, if will affect sensors characteristic. 2.3 Long time storage The sensors resistance produce reversible drift if it’s stored.
