The SGX Integrated IR (INIR) sensor is a user-friendly digital gas sensor designed with the latest infrared technology and an ARM7 core microcontroller. It offers enhanced reliability and minimizes fault probability through advanced software techniques. The INIR is engineered to reduce implementation time and increase productivity by incorporating necessary electronics and embedded software for operation from a low voltage DC power supply. It processes raw signals to output a linear, temperature-compensated signal proportional to the gas concentration, available in both digital and analog forms. This sensor significantly reduces development time and expertise required for gas detection instruments. The INIR can also be factory calibrated for immediate installation without recalibration.
