H2-CNI I2C-I FWB-A
High-precision, maintenance-free hydrogen detection

The H2-CNI I2C-I FWB-A is an advanced, industrial-grade hydrogen sensor that contains the entire electronic circuitry for control and read-out through the I2C digital bus. Built on a catalytically highly active, siloxane-resistant element operating on a non-isothermal calorimetric principle, this sensor delivers consistent performance from lab environments to real-world deployment.

Pin Configuration
Pin Configuration

Pin 1
Midpoint of the 2nd branch of the Wheatstone bridge (can remain unconnected)
Pin 3
Clock line of I2C bus
Pin 4
Bridge excitation voltage connected to 1st junction of the active sensing element, can be connected to VPOW if a single supply voltage is used (FWB-B only). Otherwise, a positive voltage with respect to AGND must be applied. Leave unconnected for FWB-A sensors.
Pin 5
Junction between active sensor element and reference element (can remain unconnected)
Pin 6
1st junction of reference element, must be connected to AGND
Pin 7
I2C ground
Pin 8
Data line of I2C bus
Pin 9
Supply voltage of internal electronics
