Description:
Unleash Precise Methane Detection with the DFRobot Fermion MEMS CH4 Gas Sensor (Breakout, 1-10000ppm). The DFRobot Fermion MEMS Methane (CH4) Gas Detection Sensor represents a significant leap forward in gas sensing technology. Built upon cutting-edge Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, this sensor delivers exceptional performance in a remarkably compact form factor (13x13x2.5mm).
Our Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) gas sensor series offers a versatile suite of 11 distinct sensor types, enabling precise detection of a wide range of gases. This comprehensive selection, including sensors for formaldehyde (HCHO), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ethanol (EtOH), smoke, odor, hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), allows for tailored configurations to meet specific application needs.
Note: This sensor is capable of only qualitative measurements. For quantitative measurements.

Precautions for use:
- Kindly remove the protective film before usage.
- To prevent exposure to volatile silicon compounds vapors (such as silicone adhesive, hair gel, silicone rubber, or other locations where volatile silicon compounds are present).
- Avoid exposure to high concentrations of corrosive gases (such as H2S, SOX, Cl2, HCl, etc.).
- Prevent contamination from alkalis, alkali metal salts, and halogens.
- Refrain from prolonged exposure to extreme environments (such as high temperatures, high humidity, and high pollution).
- Avoid contact with water, condensation, and freezing.
- Minimize excessive vibration, impact, and dropping.
- Please refrain from employing this module in systems that involve personal safety concerns.
- For extended periods of non-usage, it is advisable to preheat the module for at least 24 hours.
Applications:
- Environmental monitoring: Detect the presence of methane emissions or leaks from natural or anthropogenic sources.
- Indoor air quality: Measure the concentration of methane in the indoor air and control the ventilation or alarm systems accordingly.
- Industrial safety: Detect any leaks or spills of methane and warn the workers or the managers to take preventive measures.
- Fire detection: Identify any abnormal increase of methane in the air and trigger the fire alarm or sprinkler system.
- Health applications: measure the amount of methane in the breath; methane can be produced by some bacteria in the human gut or some metabolic disorders
