TGS 2610 - for the detection of LP Gas
The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics, all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see
reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as
sensor resistance ratio
(Rs/Ro) which is defined as follows:
Rs = Sensor resistance in displayed gases at various concentrations
Ro = Sensor resistance in 1800ppm of iso-butane
* Residential LP leak detectors and alarms
* Portable LP detectors
* LP gas and vapor detection
TGS2610 is a semiconductor type gas sensor which combines very high
sensitivity to LP gas with low power consumption and long life. Due to
miniaturization of its sensing chip, TGS2610 requires a heater current of only
56mA and the device is housed in a standard TO-5 package.
The TGS2610 is available in two different models which have different external
housings but identical sensitivity to LP gas. Both models are able to satisfy the
requirements of performance standards such as UL1484 and EN50194.
TGS2610-C00 possesses small size and quick gas response, making it suitable
for gas leakage checkers.
TGS2610-D00 uses filter material in its housing which eliminates the influence
of interference gases such as alcohol, resulting in highly selective response to
LP gas. This feature makes the sensor ideal for residential gas leakage
detectors which require durability and resistance against interference gas.
* Low power consumption
* High sensitivity to LP and its component
gases (e.g. propane and butane)
* Long life and low cost
* Uses simple electrical circuit

IMPORTANT NOTE: OPERATING CONDITIONS IN WHICH FIGARO SENSORS ARE USED WILL VARY WITH EACH CUSTOMER’S SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. FIGARO STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS CONSULTING OUR TECHNICAL STAFF BEFORE DEPLOYING FIGARO SENSORS IN YOUR APPLICATION AND, IN PARTICULAR, WHEN CUSTOMER’S 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.

REV: 02/05
The sensor requires two voltage inputs:
heater voltage (VH) and circuit voltage
(VC). The heater voltage (VH) is applied
to the integrated heater in order to
maintain the sensing element at a
specific temperature which is optimal
for sensing. Circuit voltage (VC) is
applied to allow measurement of voltage
(VRL) across a load resistor (RL) which is
connected in series with the sensor.
A common power supply circuit can be
used for both VC and VH to fulfill the
sensor's electrical requirements. The
value of the load resistor (RL) should be
chosen to optimize the alarm threshold
value, keeping power dissipation (PS)
of the semiconductor below a limit of
15mW. Power dissipation (PS) will be
highest when the value of Rs is equal to
RL on exposure to gas.

TGS 2612 - for the detection of Methane and LP Gas
The gure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics,
all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see
reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as sensor
resistance ratio (Rs/Ro) which is dened as follows:
Rs = Sensor resistance in displayed gases at
various concentrations
Ro = Sensor resistance in 5000ppm of methane
The gure below represents typical temperature and humidity
dependency characteristics. Again, the Y-axis is indicated as
sensor resistance ratio (Rs/Ro), dened as follows:
Rs = Sensor resistance at 10%LEL of each gas
at various temperatures/65%RH
Ro = Sensor resistance at 10%LEL of each gas
at 20°C and 65% R.H.
* Residential LNG and LPG alarms
* Portable combustible gas leak detectors
* Detectors for LNG and LPG
The sensing element is comprised of a metal oxide semiconductor layer
formed on an alumina substrate of a sensing chip together with an integrated
heater. In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases
depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can
convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to
the gas concentration.
The TGS 2612 has high sensitivity to methane, propane and butane, making it
ideal for LNG and LPG monitoring. Due to its low sensitivity to alcohol vapors
(a typical interference gas in the residential environment), the sensor is ideal
for consumer market gas alarms.
Due to miniaturization of the sensing chip, TGS 2612 requires a heater current
of only 56mA and the device is housed in a standard TO-5 package.
* Low power consumption
* Similar sensitivity at same %LEL levels
for both methane and LP gas
* Long life and low cost
* Uses simple electrical circuit
