ZP13 Smoke Detector module | Smoke Sensor For Arduino

ZP13-GAS-Sensor

ZP13 Smoke Detection Module For Arduino

The ZP13 smoke module uses advanced chip thick film semiconductor gas sensor. The sensor is extremely sensitive to gases such as smoke and propane. The module is aged, debugged, calibrated, and calibrated with good consistency and high sensitivity.




Semiconductor Gas Sensor

“semiconductor Gas Sensors consist of semiconductor material between two metal electrodes and which respond to changes in the composition of the surrounding atmosphere gas coming into contact changes either the conductivity or resistivity from a known baseline value.”

The demand for thick film semiconductor  gas sensors has increased over the last few years owing to their real-time monitoring, cost effectiveness, and reliability in performance.

ZP13 Precautions

  • Avoid direct contact of smoke sensor ZP13 with organic solvents (including silicone and other adhesives), coatings, pharmaceuticals, oils and high concentrations of gas.
  • The ZP13 module can not withstand excessive impact or vibration.
  • The module need to preheat more than 5 minutes for the first time to use.
  • Do not install the module in a strong air convection environment.
  • Do not put the module for a long time placed in high concentrations of organic gases.

ZP13  Arduino Smoke Detector

In order to avoid fire accidents, smoke detectors are placed at high-security places. Smoke detectors detect smoke leval as the fire breakout and give an early alarm. In this way, before the fire spreads to other parts of the building, people can be escape and rescue can be done immediately. In this project also a smoke detector has been designed.

In this project, we are going to designe  Smoke Level Detector using ZP13 Sensor and Arduino Nano for measuring the smoke level in environment. ZP13 Sensor comes with 4 pin JST pin connector we have interfaced ZP13 Gas Sensor module with Arduino as shown in diagram.  Pin A and pin B of ZP13  are digital output pin connected to pin D7 and D8 of Arduino.
