HLS-440P
Automotive Hydrogen Leak Sensor
General Description
The HLS-440P automotive hydrogen sensor monitors hydrogen
leakage concentrations of 0 - 10% in air. The design fulfills Zone
2 requirements according to ATEX 100a. The predicted
concentration is transmitted to the host via the CAN bus
interface or with PWM output.
Type A:
The sensor shall measure the hydrogen concentration in high
humidity conditions, e.g. in the exhaust of a fuel cell system, to
ensure compliance with defined upper thresholds.
Type B:
The sensor shall measure the hydrogen concentration under
ambient humidity conditions, to ensure compliance with
defined upper thresholds.
