Integrated Infra-red Sensor

The Integrated IR (INIR) sensor has been designed with the latest technology, using a microcontroller with an ARM7 core and via software design the necessary techniques have been implemented to increase the reliability of the device therefore minimize the probability of faults.

The INIR is a user-friendly digital Gas Sensor, which is designed to use the latest SGX Sensortech’s Infrared technology.

The sensor is designed to decrease the implementation time therefore increase productivity. The Integrated IR sensor incorporates the necessary electronics and embedded software to operate from a low voltage DC power supply. The sensor will process the raw signals to output a linear, temperature compensated signal proportional to the gas concentration applied. The output signal is available in digital and analogue forms.

The SGX Sensortech Integrated IR Gas Sensor provides users with a simple method of incorporating an Infrared Sensor into their gas detection instrument which will significantly reduce the development time and expertise required during the design and implementation phase. The Integrated IR can also be factory calibrated to allow installation without the need for recalibration.
