KSS523 Infrared SF6 Gas Sensor Module
1. Overview
SF6 gas is widely used as an insulating medium and arc
extinguishing gas in power equipment, especially in high-voltage
circuit breakers, transformers, transformers, capacitors,
arresters, fuses, etc. If leakage occurs, the pressure of the
equipment is reduced and the insulation capacity is reduced;
Pollute and destroy the atmospheric environment, increase the
greenhouse effect; Accumulation in low-level spaces, resulting in
accidents such as lack of oxygen in the brains of staff and even
rapid asphyxiation; Under the influence of partial discharge, high
temperature and other factors, SF6 gas will produce highly toxic
decomposition substances such as SF4, SF2, SOF2, etc.
KSS523 is a gas sensor module using NDIR infrared absorption
detection principle, which determines the concentration according
to the absorption of SF6 gas at 10.5um. KSS523 adopts MEMS light
source, optical cavity with special structure and dual-channel
detector to realize space dual optical path reference compensation,
and microprocessor for signal acquisition, processing and output.
KSS523 is small in size and low in power consumption, and has UART,
485 (Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, Modbus custom optional) and
single-bus digital interface, providing digital calibration zero
and sensitivity functions, and providing manual calibration zero
function.
KSS523 can be widely used in SF6 gas leak detection and other
occasions SF6 gas concentration analysis in the power industry.

5. Matters that should be paid attention to in maintenance
The sensor should be calibrated regularly, not more than 3 months
is recommended
Do not use the sensor for a long time in an environment with a high
density of dust
Please use the sensor within the range of the sensor's power supply
