Description:
The MQ2 sensor is used to detect combustible and harmful gases for consumer and industrial applications, the gases this sensor can detect are: LPG, i-butane, propane, methane, alcohol, hydrogen and smoke, these gases are not only highly combustible but also harmful.
The sensitivity of the MQ2 sensor can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the application via a manual potentiometer located on the back of the sensor.
The output voltage from the Gas sensor increases when the concentration of gas increases.

 

Detection

sing high-quality dual-panel design, with power indicator and TTL signal output instructions;

The switching signal has a DO (TTL) output and analogue output AO ;

TTL output valid signal is low. ( Low-level signal when the output light can be directly connected to the microcontroller or relay module )

Analogue output voltage with the higher concentration of higher voltage.

A gas, natural gas, city gas, smoke better sensitivity.

There are four screw holes for easy positioning ;

Has a long life and reliable stability

Rapid response and recovery characteristic

Input voltage : DC5V Power consumption ( current ): 150mA

DO output : TTL digital 0 and 1 ( 0.1 and 5V)

AO output:0.1-0 .3 V ( relative to pollution ), the maximum concentration of a voltage of about 4V

Special note:

After the sensor is powered, needs to warm up around the 20S, measured data was stable, heat sensor is a normal phenomenon, because the internal heating wire if hot is not normal.

VCC: positive power supply (5V)

GND: power supply is negative

DO: TTL switching signal output

AO: analogue signal output
