PRODUCT INFORMATION
tgs 4160 - for the detection of Carbon Dioxide
Features:
* High selectivity to CO2
* Low dependency on humidity
* Long life
Applications:
* Air quality control
* CO2 control in agricultural applications
* CO2 monitoring
The TGS4160 is a hybrid sensor unit composed of a carbon dioxide sensitive element and a ntc. A wide range of 350~50,000ppm of carbon dioxide can be detected by TGS4160, making it ideal for usage in a variety of applications.
The CO2 sensitive element consists of a solid electrolyte formed between two electrodes, together with a printed heater (Pt) substrate. By monitoring the change in electromotive force (EMF) generated between the two electrodes, it is possible to measure CO2 gas concentration.
Adsorbent (zeolite) is filled between the internal cover and the outer cover for the purpose of reducing the influence of interference gases.
TGS4160 exhibits a linear relationship between AEMF and CO2 gas concentration on a logarithmic professional scale. The sensor displays good long term stability and shows excellent durability against the effects of high humidity.
The figure below shows typical humidity dependency for an energized sensor. Again, the Y-axis is indicated as AEMF which is defined as follows:
AEMF=EMF1 - EMF2
where
EMF1=EMF in 350 ppm CO2 EMF2=EMF in 1000ppm CO2
The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics of TGS4160. The Y-axis is indicated as AEMF which is defined as follows:
AEMF=EMF1 - EMF2 where
EMF1=EMF in 350 ppm CO2 EMF2=EMF in listed gas concentration

important note: operating conditions in which figaro professional 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.
