Description
- Fermion: MEMS Ethanol EtOH Gas Detection Sensor (Breakout, 1-500ppm)
- Utilizes advanced MEMS technology for efficiency
- Compact and low power-consuming sensor
- Versatile with a variety of applications
- Detects Ethanol within a range of 1-500 ppm
- Boasts a lifespan of over five years
The Fermion: MEMS Ethanol EtOH Gas Detection Sensor (Breakout, 1-500ppm) is a cutting-edge sensor that utilizes micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology. This advanced technology endows the sensor with compact dimensions, low power consumption, minimal heat generation, a brief preheating period, and a rapid response recovery. The sensor is designed to qualitatively measure ethanol concentration, making it suitable for detecting ethanol gas leakage and for incorporation in portable ethanol detectors.
The MEMS series comprises 11 distinct types of gas sensors, which can be customized according to specific needs. However, it should be noted that this particular sensor is only capable of qualitative measurements. For quantitative measurements, the Gravity: Factory Calibrated Electrochemical Gas Sensor Series is suggested.

The sensor's compact size and low power consumption, coupled with its high sensitivity and rapid response recovery, are all attributed to the advanced MEMS technology.
The sensor is versatile and can be utilized in a variety of applications. These include breathalyzers for measuring a person's blood alcohol content by analyzing their breath, indoor air quality monitoring to assess the level of volatile organic compounds in the indoor environment, and food quality control to measure EtOH emission from food samples and determine their shelf life or quality.
The sensor is capable of detecting Ethanol (EtOH) within a range of 1-500 ppm. It operates at a voltage of 3-5 V and outputs an analog voltage signal. The sensor functions optimally at a temperature of -10-50 ℃ and humidity of 15-90%RH (non-condensing). The sensor boasts a lifespan of over five years (in air) and measures 13 x 2.5 mm / 0.51 x 0.51 x 0.1 inch.
Please note that this sensor is only capable of qualitative measurements. For quantitative measurements, the Gravity: Factory Calibrated Electrochemical Gas Sensor Series is recommended.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Please review the Return Conditions, Return Exceptions and the process on How to Request a Return Authorization (RA) before initiating a return request.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
