Description

The MQ6 sensor is the main sensing component which is used in a gas detection appliance. The sensor consist of a sensing material which ionize the gases which comes in its contact. As a result, the ionization process of the gases changes the resistance across the circuit. They are used in gas leakage detecting  equipments in family and industry, are suitable for detecting of  LPG, iso-butane, propane, LNG, avoid the noise of alcohol and cooking fumes and cigarette smoke.

Features:

    High sensitivity to LPG, iso-butane, propane
    Small sensitivity to alcohol, smoke.
    Fast response
    Stable and long life
    Simple drive circuit

Structure and configuration of MQ-6 gas sensor is shown as Fig. 1 (Configuration A or B), 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-6 have 6 pin ,4 of them are used to fetch signals, and other 2 are used for providing heating current.
Electric parameter measurement circuit is shown as Fig.2

SENSITVITY ADJUSTMENT
        Resistance value of MQ-6 is difference to various kinds and various concentration gases. So, When using this components, sensitivity adjustment is very necessary. we recommend that you calibrate the detector for 1000ppm of LPG concentration in air and use value of Load resistance ( RL) about 20KΩ(10KΩ to 47KΩ).
When accurately measuring, the proper alarm point for the gas detector should be determined after considering the temperature and humidity influence.
