Additional Details:

The TGS2400 utilizes a thick film of tin dioxide (SnO2) as its sensing material. The sensor's resistance changes in the presence of carbon monoxide, and this change can be measured to determine the CO concentration. The sensor requires a heater voltage to maintain the sensing element at an optimal operating temperature. Operating temperature and humidity ranges should be within the manufacturer's specifications for optimal performance and longevity. The sensor's sensitivity and response time can be affected by temperature and humidity, so proper calibration and compensation may be necessary in some applications. Refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for specific operating conditions and performance characteristics.
