MIPEX TECHNOLOGY proudly presents the most advanced technology available in the market - third generation of MIPEX optical gas sensors. MIPEX-03 sensors operate by using NDIR principle. The sensor contains LED with optimized spectrum and signal processing algorithm, an optical system, specially designed photo diodes, an imbedded temperature sensor and electronics to process the signals. Communications with instrument electronics are provided via digital or analog
MIPEX-03-X-X-2.X• Metal housing - Fast response time T90<10s.• Long term stability• Sinters free• Microcontroller inside • Combined digital & analog interface• Low humidity influence• Easy calibration• Long life
output. Having power consumption less than 3,5 mW MIPEX-03 sensors reach less than 10 second response time. All MIPEX-03 sensors have the highest level of intrinsically safe explosion protection “ia”. To meat exacting customer requirements ‘Intelligent’ MIPEX-03 sensor with microcontroller inside provides extended features and amongst other advantages dramatically reduces development cost and time. More than 70 modifications of MIPEX-03 sensor are now available.

For evaluation and testing purposes we offer to apply friendly Evaluation Kit which operates through PC
together with our special MIPEX Evaluation Software. Evaluation Kit provides enhanced capability for evalu-
ation and testing MIPEX sensors and enables users to customize certain parameters within the MIPEX sensor
in order to suit their particular requirements.
