CO SENSOR
Structure and configuration of MQ-7 gas sensor is shown as Fig
(Configuration A or B), sensor composed by micro AL2O3 ceramic tube, Tin Dioxide
(SnO2) sensitive layer, measuring electrode and heater are fixed into a crust made
by plastic and stainless steel net. The heater provides necessary work conditions for
work of sensitive components. The enveloped MQ-7 have 6 pin,4 of them are used to
fetch signals, and other 2 are used for providing heating current.

C O SEN S O R

Standard measuring circuit of MQ-7 sensitive components consists of 2 parts. one

is heating circuit having time control function (the high voltage and the low voltage
work circularly ). The second is the signal output circuit; it can accurately respond
changes of surface resistance of the sensor.
