MIPEX is a leading manufacturer of optical IR (NDIR) gas sensors for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) producing gas analysis equipment intended for collective and individual safety. Our goal is to make our sensors immune to nearly every known type of environmental stress: pressure, vibration, chemical poisoning, moisture and many other contributing factors.

Safety is a core value at MIPEX, and as a result, our products have earned a reputation for their remarkable reliability, accuracy of measurement and durability, which is the direct result of rigorous lab and field testing preceding the release of any sensor to the market.

In alignment with our safety culture, our success on the market can be largely attributed to our established, fine-tuned processes and production procedures. With scrupulous quality assurance applied to each manufacturing milestone, we are completely confident in the utmost quality of every unit leaving our conveyor. And yet our success as a company is not measured in the number of units we produce per year, but rather by the scale and significance of challenges we are able to solve through our work and our products. We are proud to drive innovation and offer truly disruptive technologies capable of changing the landscapes of entire markets.

Product Information

Meet the world’s lowest power infrared combustible gas sensor. The revolutionary MIPEX-04 line of our NDIR sensors offers an unprecedentedly low level of power consumption not found in any other methane sensor on the market. Being up to 1000+ times more energy-efficient than its closest competitors, MIPEX-04 turns a new page in the history of compact gas sensors and creates a solid foundation for an entire market of long-lasting, battery-powered, non-serviceable combustible gas clip detectors. MIPEX-04 comes with the same digital UART interface found in other MIPEX products and can be fine-tuned for particular operating conditions and usage scenarios.

With extremely low power consumption, measurement accuracy and compatibility with industry-standard interfaces, MIPEX-04 is a perfect candidate for a whole new market of modern multi-gas analysis systems, portable gas detectors and fixed gas detection systems deployed at locations with the most demanding requirements for the duration of autonomous operation and reliability.

Features:

Target application: clip combustible gas detectors for industrial safety.
Allows designing clip gas detector lasting no less than 24 months without charge.
Lowest available power consumption among combustible gas sensors. Average operating current is less than 35 microAmps.
Smart sensor with embedded microcontroller returns linearized, temperature-compensated output data.
Measurement range up to 100% vol. for methane (CH4) or up to 2.5% vol. for propane (C3H8).
Provides intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia” which does not need metal-ceramic filters (sinters).

Marking and Standards Compliance:

IECEx ITS 19.0005U
ITS19ATEX204540U
Ex ia I / Ex ia IIC Ga, -40 ≤ Ta ≤ +60 °C

Sensor complies with IEC/EN 60079-0, IEC/EN 60079-11:

Explosion protection level – “ia”.
Hazardous area class (Electrical equipment group) – “I” and “IIC”.

Sensor is suitable for use within end equipment with temperature classes T1-T6 at maximum ambient temperature of +60 °C.

MIPEX-04 has ETL certification when the logo ETL is present on the sensor. The details of ETL certification are as follows:

Group I, II, Zone 0, 1, 2 or
Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D, T6

Note: T6 temperature code is based on +60 °С ambient
