MQ131 Ozone Gas Sensor Module is a compact and highly sensitive sensor designed for detecting ozone levels in the ambient air. It utilizes tin dioxide (SnO2) as the sensing material, which has low conductivity in clean air but becomes more conductive in the presence of ozone. The module can detect ozone concentrations ranging from 10-1000 ppb for low concentrations and 10ppm-1000ppm for high concentrations. It features both analog output and TTL level digital output, making it compatible with microcontroller-based systems for direct integration.
Key Features:
-
Wide Detection Range: Capable of detecting ozone concentrations from 10PPB to 1000PPB (low concentration) and 10ppm to 1000ppm (high concentration).
-
Dual Signal Output:
-
Quick Response and Recovery: The sensor quickly responds to changes in ozone levels and recovers to baseline values efficiently.
-
Trimmer Potentiometer: Allows setting of threshold levels for the digital output.
