IX.UK AlphasenseHigh-resolution carbon monoxide sensor (CO sensor) CO-B4Matching sensor board:
Unique sensor board (ISB) Alphasense B4 4-electrode gas sensor - ISB
This unique sensor board (ISB) is used for Alphasense B4 series four-electrode gas sensors. The regulator provides dual-channel voltage output.
Low-noise bandgap provides bias voltage to NO sensors, while ISB can measure oxidizing (CO, H2S, SO2, and NO) and reducing (O3 and NO2) gases.
ISB is configured in four versions for specific sensors: NO, NO2, O3, and CO/H2S/SO2.
