Fermion CH4 Methane Analog Gas Sensor

The Fermion CH4 Methane Analog Gas Sensor is your reliable partner for monitoring methane gas concentrations, ideal for industrial and environmental applications. Equipped with state-of-the-art MEMS technology, this sensor not only offers a compact size and low power consumption, but also a fast response time and high sensitivity in the range of 1 to 10,000 ppm. It is excellent for detecting methane gas leaks in areas such as natural gas facilities, biogas plants, and other industrial environments, where precise and fast measurements are crucial. To read the gas sensors with an Arduino, connect the analog output pin of the sensor to an analog input pin of the Arduino. Then use the analogRead() function in your Arduino sketch to measure and process the sensor values.

Info: This sensor can only indicate whether a substance is present and only provides an approximate guideline value. For exact measurements, we recommend purchasing the Gravity series with factory-calibrated electrochemical gas sensors.
