Notes:

1. Sensing resistance in air R

is measured under controlled ambient conditions, i.e. synthetic air at 23

±5°C and 50 ± 10% RH. Sampling test.

2. Sensitivity factor is defined as Rs in air divided by Rs at 60 ppm CO. Test conditions are 23 ± 5°C and

50 ± 10% RH. Indicative values only. Sampling test.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS:

Read the following instructions carefully before using the MiCS-5524 described here to avoid erroneous

readings and to prevent the device from permanent damage.

• The sensor must be reflow soldered in a neutral atmosphere, without soldering flux vapours.

• The sensor must not be exposed to high concentrations of organic solvents, silicone vapours or

cigarette-smoke in order to avoid poisoning the sensitive layer.

• Heater voltage above the specified maximum rating will destroy the sensor due to overheating.

• This sensor is to be placed in a filtered package that protects it against water and dust projections.

• SGX sensortech strongly recommends using ESD protection equipment to handle the sensor.
