Description of the MQ7 Gas Module

MQ7 carbon monoxide coal gas sensor module detects the concentrations of CO in the air. When it detects the concentration of CO in the air then it gives the reading in the analog voltage. This smoke sensor detects the 10 to 10000 ppm. This dust module can operate at temperatures from -10V to 50-degree centigrade. It consumes 5V and its current range is 150mA. This smoke sensor provides both digital and analog outputs. The threshold level for digital output can be easily adjusted. It is preset on the board. This MQ7 gas sensor can easily interact with the Micro-controllers such as Arduino etc.
