General Description:

The Nemoto NCP-170S-H is a catalytic (pellistor) type flammable gas sensor supplied as a matched pair of pellistor elements mounted on a single header and protected by a metal mesh enclosure and can.

The sensor detects and measures the presence of flammable gases and vapours in air, in the range 0-60% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the gas or vapour being measured. Very similar to the popular NCP-170S sensor, the NCP-170S-H employs a slightly different header material which allows the sensor to be used within a very wide temperature range (-40°C to +150°C).

The NCP-170S-H exhibits excellent long term zero and sensitivity stability and a high level of resistance to catalytic poisons. The highly automated manufacturing procedure employed by Nemoto results in a repeatable reliable sensor which, unlike similar devices, requires no trimming resistor to enable the detector to be matched with a compensator.
