SENSITVITY ADJUSTMENT
Resistance value of MQ-135 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
100ppm NH3 or 50ppm Alcohol concentration in air and use value of Load resistancethat( RL) about 20 KΩ(10KΩ
to 47 KΩ).
When accurately measuring, the proper alarm point for the gas detector should be determined after
considering the temperature and humidity influence.

GAS SENSOR MQ-303A for ALCOHOL DETECTION
* High sensitivity
* Low power consumption
* Miniature-size
The MQ-303A is a tin dioxide semiconductor gas
sensor which has a high sensitivity to alcohol with quick
response speed. This model is suitable for alcohol
detection such as portable breath alcohol checker or
ignition locking system in automobiles.
Structure
Gas sensitive semiconductor material is a mini bead type and a heater coil and electrode wire are embedded
in the element. The sensing element is installed in the metal housing which uses double stainless steel mesh (100
mesh) in the path of gas flow. The mesh is an anti-explosion feature
(Fig 1).
Operating conditions
Fig 2 shows the standard operating circuit for this model. The
change of the sensor resistance (RS) is obtained as the change of the
output voltage across the fixed or variable resistor (RL). In order to
obtain the best performance and specified characteristics, the values
of the heater voltage (VH) circuit voltage (VC) and load resistance (RL)
must be within the range of values given in the standard operating
conditions shown in the Specification table on the next page. Generally,
the sensor enters into normal working conditions after several minutes
preheating, If you connect the sensor heater with a high voltage 2.2 ±
0.20V for 5-10 sec before normal testing , the sensor shall stabilize and
enter into normal working conditions quickly.
Sensitivity characteristics

gas sensors are expressed by the relationship between the sensor resistance and gas
concentration. The sensor resistance decreases with an increase of gas
concentration based on a logarithmic function.

General Information
MQ309A is a tin dioxide semiconductor gas sensor which has excellent performance in
detecting both CO and Methane. It is miniature sensor adopt changing working
temperature periodically to detect with high sensitivity and selectivity, the humidity has
little influence on it.
Configuration
Gas sensor sensitivity material is a mini bead, a heater coil and electrode wire are
embedded in the element this element is installed in the in the metal housing which uses
double stainless steel mesh(100mesh) with anti-explosion function. As figure1
Operating condictions
When the gas sensor is operatedwith high/low
periodic operation (As figure 2), sensor signal changes
according to its temperature dependency By detecting
the sensors signal at sufficient timmings (at high
temperature for methane and at a low temperature for
CO),selective detection of both methane and CO has
been achieved. Figs 3 and 3b show the sensitivity
characteristics of the MQ309A, at high temperature and

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
. The surface resistance of the sensor Rs is obtained through effected voltage signal output of the
load resistance RL which series-wound. The relationship between them is described:
Rs\RL = (Vc-VRL) / VRL

signal when the sensor is shifted from clean air to carbon monoxide (CO) , output signal
measurement is made within one or two complete heating period (2.5 minute from high voltage
to low voltage ).
Sensitive layer of MQ-7 gas sensitive components is made of SnO2 with stability, So, it has
excellent long term stability. Its service life can reach 5 years under using condition.
SENSITVITY ADJUSTMENT
Resistance value of MQ-7 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 200ppm CO in air and use value of Load resistance that( RL) about 10 KΩ(5KΩ to 47 KΩ).
When accurately measuring, the proper alarm point for the gas detector should be determined after
considering the temperature and humidity influence. The sensitivity adjusting program:
a. Connect the sensor to the application circuit.
b. Turn on the power, keep preheating through electricity over 48 hours.
c. Adjust the load resistance RL until you get a signal value which is respond to a certain
carbon monoxide concentration at the end point of 90 seconds.
d. Adjust the another load resistance RL until you get a signal value which is respond to a CO
concentration at the end point of 60 seconds .

MQ-7 Semiconductor Sensor for Carbon Monoxide
Sensitive material of MQ-7 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. It make
detection by method of cycle high and low temperature, and detect CO when low temperature (heated
by 1.5V). The sensors conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising. When high
temperature (heated by 5.0V), it cleans the other gases adsorbed under low temperature. Please use
simple electrocircuit, Convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration.
MQ-7 gas sensor has high sensitity to Carbon Monoxide. The sensor could be used to detect
different gases contains CO, it is with low cost and suitable for different application.

Notification
1 Following conditions must be prohibited
1.1 Exposed to organic silicon steam
Organic silicon steam cause sensors invalid, sensors must be avoid exposing to silicon bond,
fixature, silicon latex, putty or plastic contain silicon environment
1.2 High Corrosive gas
If the sensors exposed to high concentration corrosive gas (such as H2Sz, SOXCl2HCl etc), it will
not only result in corrosion of sensors structure, also it cause sincere sensitivity attenuation.
1.3 Alkali, Alkali metals salt, halogen pollution
The sensors performance will be changed badly if sensors be sprayed polluted by alkali metals salt
especially brine, or be exposed to halogen such as fluorin.
1.4 Touch water
Sensitivity of the sensors will be reduced when spattered or dipped in water.
1.5 Freezing
Do avoid icing on sensorsurface, otherwise sensor would lose sensitivity.
1.6 Applied voltage higher
Applied voltage on sensor should not be higher than stipulated value, otherwise it cause down-line or
heater damaged, and bring on sensors sensitivity characteristic changed badly.
1.7 Voltage on wrong pins
For 6 pins sensor, if apply voltage on 1、3 pins or 4、6 pins, it
will make lead broken, and without signal when apply on 2、4 pins
2 Following conditions must be avoided
2.1 Water Condensation
Indoor conditions, slight water condensation will effect sensors performance lightly. However, if water
condensation on sensors surface and keep a certain period, sensor sensitivity will be decreased.
2.2 Used in high gas concentration
No matter the sensor is electrified or not, if long time placed in high gas concentration, if will affect
sensors characteristic.
2.3 Long time storage
The sensors resistance produce reversible drift if its stored for long time without electrify, this drift is
related with storage conditions. Sensors should be stored in airproof without silicon gel bag with clean air.
For the sensors with long time storage but no electrify, they need long aging time for stbility before using.
2.4 Long time exposed to adverse environment
No matter the sensors electrified or not, if exposed to adverse environment for long time, such as
high humidity, high temperature, or high pollution etc, it will effect the sensors performance badly.
2.5 Vibration
Continual vibration will result in sensors down-lead response then repture. In transportation or
assembling line, pneumatic screwdriver/ultrasonic welding machine can lead this vibration.
2.6 Concussion
If sensors meet strong concussion, it may lead its lead wire disconnected.
2.7 Usage
For sensor, handmade welding is optimal way. If use wave crest welding should meet the following
conditions:
2.7.1 Soldering flux: Rosin soldering flux contains least chlorine
2.7.2 Speed: 1-2 Meter/ Minute
2.7.3 Warm-up temperature100±20℃
2.7.4 Welding temperature250±10℃
2.7.5 1 time pass wave crest welding machine
If disobey the above using terms, sensors sensitivity will be reduced.
