LPG (Propane) Gas Sensor Module

SKU : LPGPGSM

The LPG (Propane) Gas Sensor Module is designed to allow a microcontroller to determine when a preset propane gas level has been reached or exceeded. Interfacing with the sensor module is done through a 4-pin SIP header and requires two I/O pins from the host microcontroller. The sensor module is mainly intended to provide a means of comparing propane sources and being able to set an alarm limit when the source becomes excessive.
