Gas Sensor
This datasheet describes the use of the MiCS-2610 in ozone detection applications. The package and the
mode of operation described in this document target the detection of the oxidizing gas O

in indoor or
outdoor environments. Ozone is a hazardous gas, which can cause respiratory problems at
concentrations above 100 ppb.

Sensor Characteristics
Important Precautions:
Please read the following instructions carefully before using the MiCS-2610 sensor described in this
document to avoid erroneous readings and to prevent the device from permanent damage.
•
Tin oxide (SnO
2
) gas sensors require a relatively long warm up period before correct O
3
measurements can be taken. It is
important to follow the limits in the specifications (see Table 1) and to keep the sensor in the recommended powered operating
mode until the signal reaches a stable level. After exposing the sensor to high concentrations of O
3
, make sure the sensor is
given enough time to recover before taking new measurements.
The sensor must not be wave-soldered without protection or exposed to high concentrations of organic solvents or corrosive
gases in order to avoid poisoning the sensitive layer. Use humidified gas for testing and calibration.
Heater voltages above the specified maximum rating of 2.5 V will destroy the sensor. An increase of 0.5 V at 2.35 V causes an
increase of the heater temperature of about 100°C. The correct operating temperature is obtained by applying a heater voltage
of 2.35 ± 0.05 V.
We strongly recommend using the operating mode and measurement circuit described in this document and referring to the
heater voltage in the “Electric Specifications” section. Deviating from these procedures may produce varying results or damage
the sensor.

Operating Mode:
The recommended mode of operation is a constant voltage
mode. A heater voltage of V
H
= 2.35 V is applied. This
causes the temperature of the sensing resistor (R
S
) to
reach about 430°C.
Detection of the O
3
concentration is achieved
measuring the sensing resistor R
S
during operation.

Measurement Circuit:
Figure 2 shows the pin connections of the MiCS-2610
ozone sensor. A simple circuit to measure the O
3
concentration is proposed in Figure 3. The heating voltage
V
H
is applied to pins 3 and 1. A load resistor R
L
is
connected in series with R
S
to convert the resistance R
S
to
a voltage V
S
between pins 2 and 4. R
S
can then be
calculated by the following expression:
