Product catalog summary
Product Description: The S1001Y-Formaldehyde is an electrochemical sensor designed for continuous monitoring of formaldehyde gas without the need for gas sampling or pump extraction. It operates effectively in environments ranging from -20℃ to +50℃ and can be adapted for higher temperatures if necessary. Key features include low cost, long life, fast response, low power requirements, and stability.
Design Features:
  • Low Cost: Simple design with few parts reduces cost.
  • Long Life: Utilizes components from breath alcohol sensors, ensuring durability and adaptability to extreme conditions.
  • Fast Response: Short diffusion path for quick response time.
  • Low Power Requirements: Operates on a simple battery due to fuel cell principle.
  • Stability: Offers a long calibration cycle.
Specifications:
  • Measuring Gas: Formaldehyde CH2O
  • Range: 0~5ppm
  • Overload Capacity: 10ppm
  • Detection Life: 3 years in non-corrosive gas
  • Output Signal: 600~1500nA/ppm
  • Temperature Range: -20~50℃
  • Pressure Range: Standard atmospheric pressure ±10%
  • Resolution: 0.01ppm
  • Response Time (T90): <30s
  • Long-term Output Drift: <10% per year
  • Repeatability: ≤±2%
  • Output Linear: Linear
  • Temperature Drift: 0.35%/℃
  • Weight: 5g
Working Principle: The sensor uses a two-electrode fuel cell sensor where the working electrode releases electrons to the counting electrode. The internal circuit is maintained by ion current in the electrolyte, which adapts to changes in temperature and humidity without affecting calibration.
Sensor Circuit: The output current is linearly related to formaldehyde concentration. Signal amplification is achieved using a direct current-to-voltage amplifier operational amplifier. Temperature compensation is necessary for high accuracy, typically implemented with a thermistor in the feedback loop.
Cross Interference Characteristics: The sensor's response to various gases is detailed, with formaldehyde showing a 1:1 response at 5ppm, while other gases like benzene and toluene show significantly lower equivalent concentrations.
Precautions: Several precautions are outlined, including avoiding long-term high-temperature exposure during soldering, preventing electrolyte leakage, and avoiding contact with organic solvents and corrosive gases. Proper storage and handling are emphasized to maintain sensor performance.

Electrochemical formaldehyde gas sensor_S1001Y-1

Electrochemical formaldehyde sensor The electrochemical formaldehyde gas sensor produced by our company is a sensor that can truly monitor continuously without any Gas sampling or gas pump extraction. Suitable for monitoring and use in most environments (-20℃~+50℃) (if special Introduction, can be applied to higher temperatures). This sensor has five major design features: The simple design and structure and few parts make its cost reduced, resulting in a more competitive price. It uses the components of a breath alcohol sensor that has been used in the world for more than 30 years, combined with industrial electricity. The chemical poison gas sensor is designed based on the principle. The accuracy, stability and durability of the breath alcohol sensor have been obtained verification. At the same time, the design of industrial electrochemical toxic gas sensors makes the sensor more adaptable to various extreme conditions such as high temperature, high humidity and Low temperature and low humidity environment. A short and low impedance diffusion path makes its response time very short. The principle of the fuel cell means that it does not need power excitation, it only needs electricity for signal processing and display, so Just a simple small battery unit is enough. Very good stability, allowing a very long calibration cycle during use

working principle working principle The sensor contains a conventional two-electrode fuel cell sensor. The working electrode releases electrons to Counting electrode, and consumption with the decrease of oxygen at the end of the counting electrode, the internal circuit is realized by the ion current in the electrolyte. Assume It is well-designed to facilitate the growth and decline of electrolyte. The growth and decline of the electrolyte varies with changes in ambient temperature and humidity, but it can still be normal Work will not affect the calibration value.

of the feedback resistor; for example, use 1000 ohms Ohm resistance value, then an output signal of 5nA will be converted into an output signal of 5mV. Because the sensor may gradually cause deviation in the open circuit state, although it will not damage the product, it will take time To discharge. Therefore, the output terminals are generally short-circuited during storage, so that there will be no obvious long-term deviation. Shift. During use, in order to avoid the increase of the offset when the amplifier is disconnected, you can connect between the two terminals A low-value resistor (typical...

Temperature compensation The temperature drift rate of this sensor is 0.35% per degree Celsius (-20°C~50°C). If the required measurement accuracy is very high, then temperature compensation needs to be added to the circuit. Generally speaking, in Jan In a single circuit, we can implement it by appropriately adding a thermistor to the feedback loop of the operational amplifier (the The thermistor can be corrected by connecting it in series with other resistors). If you use a microprocessor circuit, in the software Under the control, the thermistor compensation will be more accurate. The temperature...
