The StoxPro Gas Sensor Device is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. It detects gas, temperature and humidity and easily receives all data simultaneously. The changing state of gas is closely related to temperature and humidity, for which this combination of the StoxPro Gas Sensor Device provides a professional solution with a RS485 and temperature and humidity signal output.

The intelligent Gas Sensor Device provides a self-test which evaluates the sensor performance without a gas measurement. Therefore, it is the excellent solution for smart home and IoT applications. The data is put out through the output signal or RS485 transmission command, which makes it easy and convenient to determine the right time to perform maintenance and replacement.

Each StoxPro Sensor Device has been professionally calibrated with the gas. It can be instantly used without prior warm-up time and the calibration information is stored in the flash chip. There is a calibration software from AQ Sense in case a recalibration with the RS485 output is required or the 4-20mA output signal needs to be corrected.

The front cover of the StoxPro is designed with three different structural forms: Diffusion Cover, Flow Cover, Duct Mounting Cover. The Diffusion Cover is suitable for gas detection in open spaces, where the gas reaches the sensor by diffusion and convection. The Flow Cover is suitable for detecting gas that is actively pumped to the sensor by a gas sampling pump, or for the gas that is under positive pressure (or at a flow rate) in the vicinity of the detected gas to reaching the sensor by flow. The Duct Mounting Cover is suitable for installations that measure gas concentrations in confined spaces and are sealed with threads or flanges.

The StoxPro Gas Sensor Device has the standard 4-20mA two-wire or RS485 Modbus-RTU output signal that allows for quick instrument and system setup or connection to display, DCS, PLC and other systems.

Electrical Parameters

Note: The temperature and humidity sensor is located inside the StoxPro housing. If the temperature parameters are to be used for external environmental measurements, please calibrate the measured value. The ambient gas cannot be exchanged with the gas inside the StoxPro housing, so the humidity is only used for the measurement inside the enclosure. This parameter cannot be obtained when the 4-20mA output is selected. It is only applicable to the RS485 output.
