MQ131 Ozone Gas Sensor Module

MQ131 Ozone Gas Sensor Moduleis a compact and highly sensitive sensor designed for detecting ozone levels in the ambient air. It utilizestin dioxide (SnO2)as the sensing material, which has low conductivity in clean air but becomes more conductive in the presence of ozone. The module can detect ozone concentrations ranging from10-1000 ppbfor low concentrations and10ppm-1000ppmfor high concentrations. It features bothanalog outputandTTL level digital output, making it compatible with microcontroller-based systems for direct integration.

Key Features:

1. Wide Detection Range: Capable of detecting ozone concentrations from10PPB to 1000PPB(low concentration) and10ppm to 1000ppm(high concentration).

2. Dual Signal Output:

   • Analog Output: Provides a voltage signal that varies with ozone concentration.

   • TTL Level Digital Output: Can be directly connected to a microcontroller’s I/O port.

3. Quick Response and Recovery: The sensor quickly responds to changes in ozone levels and recovers to baseline values efficiently.

4. Trimmer Potentiometer: Allows setting of threshold levels for the digital output.

5. Long Life and Low Cost: Built for durability with a long operational lifespan and cost-effective design.

6. LED Indicators: Equipped with LEDs that indicate signal outputs and sensor status.
