## **- ECVQ EK3 Datasheet**
## **Electrochemical and Pellistor Gas Sensor Evaluation Kit**
**Get started quickly in gas sensor instrument design using pellistor and electrochemical gas sensors from SGX.**
Simply attach the universal power supply, connect to a PC USB port and plug in an SGX pellistor or electrochemical gas sensor.
The SGX data logging and control software allows the performance of electrochemical and pellistor gas sensors to be assessed and makes it easy to capture performance data.
Users can experiment with different settings before designing their own instrument. Circuit diagram and parts list supplied.
## **INTRODUCTION**
The SGX ECVQ-EK3 Gas Sensor Evaluation Kit will drive the SGX range of electrochemical and pellistor (including thermal conductivity) gas sensors, automatically measure the sensor outputs and calculate gas concentration levels.
Sensors can be monitored automatically via the USB interface with an easy-to-use control and data logging PC application provided on CD. Alternatively a terminal program such as HyperTerminal can be used to send simple commands to the on-board microcontroller. The user manual provides a comprehensive set of commands.
The PCB provides sockets for use with SGX electrochemical and pellistor gas sensors. Electrochemical devices and VQ500 series pellistor heads can be plugged directly onto the PCB. Terminal blocks are also provided for individual pellistor devices or for connecting to VQ600 series pellistor head cables. A temperature sensing IC is provided on the PCB close to the sensor socket positions.
For electrochemical sensors the bias voltage can be adjusted or set to zero and the output is given in nA or mA. For pellistor devices the bridge voltage can be adjusted and the bridge output is given in mV. In both cases, where the sensor has a linear response to concentration, a basic calibration can be performed using the supplied software to give a concentration reading in ppm, %volume or %LEL (Lower Explosive Limit).
An expansion connector provides access to four configurable alarms (open collector), two analog outputs and four digital inputs. LEDs on the board mimic the status of each alarm. A JTAG header allows advanced users to upload their own software to the microcontroller (MSP430F2616) and make full use of the available interfaces.
A universal mains adapter is also supplied or the user may connect a 9 V power supply to the terminal block connector.
