Who Invented Gas Sensor

• The modern era of gas

detection began with
the creation of the
catalytic sensor
by Dr. Oliver
Johnson in 1926.
Gas Sensor

• A gas detector is a device that detects the presence of gases in an

area, often as part of a safety system.
• A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where
the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave.
Uses of Gas sensor

• They are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and

measure gas concentration.
• Gas sensors are employed in factories and manufacturing facilities
to identify gas leaks, and to detect smoke and carbon monoxide in
homes.
• Gas sensors vary widely in size (portable and fixed), range, and
sensing ability
Pin Description For Gas Sensor

• Vcc- This pin powers the

module, typically the
operating voltage is +5V.
• Ground- Used to connect the
module to system ground.
• Digital Out- Use this sensor to
get digital output from this
pin, by setting a threshold
value using the potentiometer.
• Analog Out- This pin outputs 0-
5V analog voltage based on the
intensity of the gas.
