    Tugino Gino
    TGS 2444 is a gas sensor that detects ammonia (NH3). It has low power consumption, high sensitivity and selectivity to ammonia, and a miniature size. It is suitable for applications like ammonia leak detection in refrigerators and ventilation control in agricultural settings. The sensor uses a multilayer structure with a tin dioxide gas sensing layer. In the presence of ammonia, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the ammonia concentration. It provides good selectivity to ammonia over other gases like ethanol and hydrogen sulfide. A simple pulsed electrical circuit can convert the conductivity change to an output signal corresponding to the ammonia concentration.

    TENTATIVE PRODUCT INFORMATION

    TGS 2444 - for the detection of Ammonia


    Features:

    Applications:

    * Low power consumption


    * High sensitivity/selectivity to ammonia
    (NH3)
    * Miniature size

    * Ammonia leak detection in refrigerators


    * Ventilation control for agricultural and poultry
    industries

    TGS 2444 utilizes a multilayer sensor structure. A glass layer for thermal insulation
    is printed between a ruthenium oxide (RuO2) heater and an alumina substrate. A pair
    of Au electrodes for the heater are formed on a thermal insulator. The gas sensing
    layer, which is formed of tin dioxide (SnO2), is printed on an electrical insulation layer
    which covers the heater. A pair of Au electrodes for measuring sensor resistance
    are formed on the electrical insulator.
    TGS 2444 displays good selectivity to ammonia, making it ideal for critical safety-related
    applications such as the detection of ammonia leaks in refrigeration systems and
    ammonia detection in the agricultural field. In the presence of ammonia, the sensor's
    conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple pulsed
    electrical circuit operating on a 250msec circuit voltage cycle can convert the change
    in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to gas concentration.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: OPERATING CONDITIONS IN WHICH FIGARO SENSORS ARE USED WILL VARY WITH EACH CUSTOMERS SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. FIGARO STRONGLY
    RECOMMENDS CONSULTING OUR TECHNICAL STAFF BEFORE DEPLOYING FIGARO SENSORS IN YOUR APPLICATION AND, IN PARTICULAR, WHEN CUSTOMERS TARGET
    GASES ARE NOT LISTED HEREIN. FIGARO CANNOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY USE OF ITS SENSORS IN A PRODUCT OR APPLICATION FOR WHICH SENSOR HAS
    NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY TESTED BY FIGARO.

    Basic Measuring Circuit:


    Circuit voltage (V C) is applied across the
    sensing element which has a resistance (Rs)
    between the sensors two electrodes (pins No.
    2 and No. 3) and a load resistor (RL) connected
    in series. The sensing element is heated by
    the heater which is connected to pins No. 1
    and No. 4.
    Heating cycle--The sensor requires application
    of a 250 msec heating cycle which is used
    in connection with a circuit voltage cycle of
    250 msec. Each VH cycle is comprised by
    4.8V being applied to the heater for the first
    14ms, followed by 0V pulse for the remaining
    236ms. The Vc cycle consists of 0V applied
    for 2msec, followed by 5.0V for 5ms and 0V
    for 243msec. For achieving optimal sensing

    characteristics, the sensor's signal should


    be measured after the midpoint of the 5ms
    Vc pulse of 5.0V (for reference, see timing
    chart below).
    NOTE: Application of a Vc pulse condition
    is required to prevent possible migration of
    heater materials into the sensing element
    material. Under extreme conditions of high
    humidity and temperature, a constant Vc
    condition could result in such migration and
    cause long term drift of Rs to higher values.
    A 5ms Vc pulse results in significantly less
    driving force for migration than a constant
    Vc condition, rendering the possibility of
    migration negligibly small.
