Introduction
Improve indoor air quality and safety with the Fermion MEMS VOC Sensor, a high-sensitivity detector for volatile organic compounds (1-500ppm). Designed for homes, offices, and industrial environments, this low-power sensor delivers fast, accurate results with MEMS technology.
Wide VOC Detection (1-500ppm)
The MEMS-based sensor detects formaldehyde, toluene, ethanol, and other harmful VOCs, ensuring reliable air quality monitoring.
Ultra-Low Power (＜20mA) & Compact
At just 13×13×2.5mm, this energy-efficient sensor integrates seamlessly into air purifiers, IoT devices, and portable detectors.
Fast Response & Long Lifespan (≥5 Years)
With minimal preheating time and durable construction, the sensor is ideal for continuous monitoring in high-humidity or polluted environments.
The MEMS series currently encompasses 11 different types of gas sensors (HCHO, CO, CH4, VOC, NH3, H2S, EtOH, Smoke, Odor, H2, NO2), which can be combined as per specific requirements.
Please note: This sensor is capable of only qualitative measurements. For quantitative measurements, kindly consider purchasing the Gravity: Factory Calibrated Electrochemical Gas Sensor Series.
Precautions for use
Kindly remove the protective film before usage.
To prevent exposure to volatile silicon compounds vapors (such as silicone adhesive, hair gel, silicone rubber, or other locations where volatile silicon compounds are present).
Avoid exposure to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as H2S, SOX, Cl2, HCl, etc.).
Prevent contamination from alkalis, alkali metal salts, and halogens.
Refrain from prolonged exposure to extreme environments (such as high temperatures, high humidity, high pollution).
Avoid contact with water, condensation, and freezing.
Minimize excessive vibration, impact, and dropping.
Please refrain from employing this module in systems that involve personal safety concerns.
For extended periods of non-usage, it is advisable to preheat the module for at least 24 hours.
