PRODUCT INFORMATION
Applications: Features:
TGS 5042 - for the detection of Carbon Monoxide
The gure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics,
all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see
reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis shows theoutput current
of the sensor (Iout/A) in each gas. Output current is linear
to CO concentration, with a deviation of less than 5% in the
range of 0~500ppm.
The gure below represents typical temperature dependency
characteristics. The Y-axis shows the sensor output ratio (I/Io)
as dened below. The linear relationship between I/Io and CO
concentration is constant regardless of the CO concentration
range.
I = Sensor output current in 400ppm of CO at various
temperatures
Io = Sensor output current in 400ppm at 20C/50%RH
* Residential and commercial CO detectors
* CO monitors for industrial applications
* Ventilation control for indoor parking garages
* Recreational vehicle CO detectors
* Marine CO detectors
* Fire detection
Figaros TGS5042 is a battery operable electrochemical sensor which offer several
advantages over traditional electrochemical sensors. Its electrolyte is environmentally
friendly, it poses no risk of electrolyte leakage, can detect concentrations as high
as 1% CO, operates in a range from -40 and +70C, and it has lower sensitivity to
interferant gases. With a long life, good long term stability, and high accuracy, this
sensor is the ideal choice for CO detectors with digital display. OEM customers will
nd individual sensors data printed on each sensor in bar code from, enabling users
to skip the costly gas calibration process and allowing for individual sensor tracking.
TGS5042 utilizes a standard AA battery-sized package.
* Battery operable
* High repeatability/selectivity to CO
* Linear relationship between CO gas
concentration and sensor output
* Simple calibration
* Long life
* UL recognized component
* Meets UL2034, EN50291, and RoHS
requirements

Basic Measuring Circuit:
Specications: Structure and Dimensions:
The diagram at the right shows the basic measuring circuit of
TGS5042. The sensor generates a minute electric current which is
converted into sensor output voltage (Vout) by an op-amp/resistor
(R2) combination. An additional resistor (R1) is required to prevent
polarization of the sensor when circuit voltage is off.
Figaro recommends the following electrical parts:
R1 : 1k
R2 : 100k
C1 : 22F
IC : AD708
NOTE: When voltage is applied to the sensor output terminal, the
sensor may be damaged. Voltage applied to the sensor should be
strictly limited to less than 10mV.

NOTE 1: When the sensor is shipped, the working electrode and
counter electrode are connected (i.e. short circuited) by the metal
ribbon in order to avoid polarization of the electrodes. To measure the
sensor outout, the ribbon should be cut and the sensor connected to a
measuring circuit (see example above). The cutting point as indicated
can be used to cut the ribbon easily.
