PRODUCT INFORMATION
TGS 2610 - for the detection of LP Gas
Features:
* Low power consumption
* High sensitivity to LP and its component gases (e.g. propane and butane)
* Long life and low cost
* Uses simple electrical circuit
Applications:
* Residential LP leak detectors and alarms
* Portable LP detectors
* LP gas and vapor detection
TGS2610 is a semiconductor type gas sensor which combines very high sensitivity to LP gas with low power consumption and long life. Due to miniaturization of its sensing chip, TGS2610 requires a heater current of only 56mA and the device is housed in a standard TO-5 package.
The TGS2610 is available in two different models which have different external housings but identical sensitivity to LP gas. Both models are able to satisfy the requirements of performance standards such as UL1484 and EN50194.
TGS2610-C00 possesses small size and quick gas response, making it suitable for gas leakage checkers.
TGS2610-D00 uses filter material in its housing which eliminates the influence of interference gases such as alcohol, resulting in highly selective response to LP gas. This feature makes the sensor ideal for residential gas leakage detectors which require durability and resistance against interference gas.
The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics, all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as sensor ressstance ratoo (Rs/Ro) which is defined as follows:
Rs = Sensor resistance in displayed gases at various concentrations
Ro = Sensor resistance in 1800ppm of iso-butane

IMPORTANT NOTE: operating conditions in which figaro sensors are used will vary with each customer's specific applications. figaro strongly recommends consulting our technical staff before deploying figaro sensors in your application and, in particular, when customer's target gases are not listed herein. figaro cannot assume any responsibility for any use of its sensors in a product or application for which sensor has not been
specifically tested by figaro.
