MQ-7 Carbon Monoxide Sensor Price in Pakistan

The MQ-7 module is intended for carbon-monoxide sensing experiments and educational gas-monitoring prototypes. It provides an analog response and, on supported module versions, an adjustable digital threshold output.

Connections and listed characteristics

  • VCC: listed 5V module supply
  • GND: common ground
  • AO: analog sensor-response output
  • DO: adjustable threshold output
  • Listed current: approximately 180mA
  • Listed module detection range: approximately 100 to 1000ppm after suitable calibration
  • Approximate module size: 35 × 20 × 21mm

Heater cycle and calibration

The MQ-7 sensing element requires a controlled heater cycle rather than a simple immediate reading. Follow the applicable sensor documentation, allow conditioning and warm-up time, and calibrate it for the intended environment. Temperature, humidity, ageing and other gases can affect the response.

Safety limitation

This module is for learning and prototyping only. It is not a certified carbon-monoxide alarm and must not replace an approved detector, ventilation control or other life-safety equipment.

For controller experiments, connect the verified module revision to an Arduino UNO R3. Browse more gas sensor modules from Robonation Pakistan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gas is the MQ-7 module mainly used to detect?

The MQ-7 sensing element is primarily used for carbon-monoxide detection experiments and monitoring prototypes.

What is the difference between the analog and digital outputs?

The analog output changes with the sensor response, while the digital output switches at a threshold adjusted by the onboard potentiometer.

Can an MQ-7 module replace a certified carbon-monoxide alarm?

No. It requires heater cycling and calibration and is not a certified life-safety alarm.

Why does the MQ-7 require heater cycling?

The sensing element uses different heater conditions during its measurement cycle. Stable, meaningful readings require the correct cycle and calibration.

Can other gases affect an MQ-7 reading?

Yes. Semiconductor gas sensors can be cross-sensitive, and temperature, humidity, ageing and other gases may influence the response.
