IR1 Single Gas Series Datasheet
Infrared Single Gas Sensor for Hazardous Environments
(Portable and Fixed Systems)
The SGX infrared sensors use the proven Non-Dispersive
Infrared (NDIR) principle to detect and monitor the presence
of gases. With an infrared source and specific filtering on the
pyroelectric detectors mounted inside the optical/gas cavity,
individual gases or types of gas can be identified and their
concentrations determined.
These sensors are suitable for reliable monitoring of gas
levels in general safety applications where the sensor size is
restricted and require a flameproof enclosure for hazardous
environments.
APPLICATIONS
Oil & Gas
Petrochemical
Biogas
Wastewater
Utilities
Steelworks
Confined Space Entry
Indoor Air Quality
OPERATION
To operate, the sensors must be interfaced to a suitable
circuit for power supply, output amplification and signal
processing. Sensor outputs require linearisation and
compensation for ambient temperature variation using
algorithms in the system firmware. This is necessary for
sensors to meet their full performance specification. An
embedded temperature sensor facilitates this compensation
on certain types. Further compensation for pressure changes
can also be made in an algorithm, provided there is a
suitable input from a pressure sensor.
A set of Application Notes is available from the SGX
Sensortech Ltd website, to explain more about NDIR gas
sensing and provide advice for the end-user on interfacing
the sensors and processing signals.

The Highest Concentration Range is the highest range the sensor is suitable. The Lowest Concentration Range is the lowest range the sensor is
suitable. The use of the sensor beyond these ranges will affect the sensor’s performance.
All sensors use temperature compensated pyroelectric detectors except for IR1nBD variants which are uncompensated. This refers to a change in
the DC voltage output only. Further temperature compensation is required for all sensor variants.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not allow sensors to fall on the floor. This could cause IR Source filament breakage, damage to the pins and the gas
entrance aperture.
2. Do not apply mechanical force against the gas entrance aperture.
3. Do not immerse sensors in water or other fluids.
4. Protect the gas entrance aperture against dust ingress and sprayed materials.
5. Anti-static handling precautions must be taken.

PERFORMANCE
For test purposes, all data taken using the following conditions:
- Performance as tested in the SGX IR-EK2 Evaluation Kit directly after calibration.
- SGX linearisation and temperature compensation algorithms applied; see Infrared Sensor Application Notes.
- IR Source Voltage 5V, square wave, at 4 Hz and 50% duty cycle. Running the IR Source at 3V will decrease performance due
to lower output signals.
- Ambient temperature (20°C) and pressure (101 kPa).
- All gases diluted in dry nitrogen.
- Performance for the Hydrocarbons refers to Methane only. Most other hydrocarbons will have an improved performance.
- Performance data is the same for the supported IR Source variants (“_1” variants).
- Refer to Application Notes for more information.

Based upon an immediate step change in concentration at the aperature of the sensor.
Production Test Limits, using standard test gases of Dry Nitrogen, 2%v/v Carbon Dioxide, 5%v/v Methane and 1.15%v/v Acetylene, where
appropriate.
A
0.30 absorbance is equivalent to a 30% decrease in the Active peak-to-peak output.
The minimum detection level is the smallest detectable change in concentration based upon a 2 sigma variantion. The best detectable change
occurs at 0% gas concentration due to the non-linear output of the detector (see Fractional Absorbance Curves).
Performance for most hydrocarbons will be better than for methane for equiavlent concentrations, as methane is one of the lower sensitive gases
compared to other hydocarbons.
After linearisation using the recommended method of linearisation and based upon a calibration gas with a concentration >75% of the full-scale.
Using average Alpha and Beta coefficients based upon test data from the instrument in which the sensor is being tested. Refer to Application
Notes for information on calculating Alpha and Beta coefficients. Accuracy can be improved by measuring each sensor over temperature to define
specific Alpha or Alpha & Beta coefficients.
After sensor stabilisation and over a period of 8 hours.
Difference in response when changed from 0 %RH to 90 %RH.
Sensors can be used over a greater ambient pressure using pressure compensation of the concentration. An external pressure sensor will be
requred for this.
FRACTIONAL ABSORBANCE CURVES
These show the typical sensitivity versus concentration before linearisation for the range of gases. For further explanation, refer
