This new CO sensor, developed using a new proprietary electrolyte, does away with the water reservoir of the current model (TGS5042) and requires 1/10th the space once installed, representing significant miniaturization compared to current model. In addition to the obvious implications of size reduction for home CO alarms, usability of TGS5141 in space-limited equipment, such as portable CO detectors and fire alarms, is greatly enhanced.

Figaro’s TGS5141 is a battery operable electrochemical sensor which uses a unique electrolyte that eliminates the need for a water reservoir. By eliminating the water reservoir used in TGS5042, the comparative size of TGS5141 is reduced to just 10% of TGS5042. With its ultra compact size, this sensor is the ideal choice for size oriented applications such as portable CO detectors, small residential CO detectors, and multi-sensor fire detectors. OEM customers will find individual sensors data printed on each sensor in bar code form, enabling users to skip the costly gas calibration process and allowing for individual sensor tracking
