Formula for calculation of sensor resistance:
Rs =
Vc x RL
Vout
- RL
Sensitivity (change ratio of Rs) is calculated with two measured values of
Rs as follows:
β = Rs (CO,300ppm)
Rs (CO,100ppm)
To facilitate usage of this sensor, TGS2442 is shipped in presorted
groupings which have a more narrowly defined range of β:
Code:
A: 0.23~ 0.34
B: 0.26 ~ 0.37
C: 0.29 ~ 0.40
D: 0.32 ~ 0.43
E: 0.35 ~ 0.46
F: 0.38 ~ 0.49
The above six classification will be further subdivided into the
following rankings of Rs values in 100ppm of CO:
Code: 1: 6.81 ~ 21.5kΩ 3: 14.7 ~ 46.6kΩ
2: 10.0 ~ 31.6kΩ 4: 21.5 ~ 68.1kΩ
1-6 Mechanical Strength
The sensor shall have no abnormal findings in its
structure and shall satisfy the above electrical
specifications after the following performance tests:
Withstand Force - withstand force > 5kg in each
(pin from base) direction
Vibration - frequency--10-500Hz (equiv. to
10G), duration-6 hours, x-y-z
direction
Shock - acceleration-100G, repeat 5 times
