: To achieve the optimal level of accuracy in

gas detectors, each TGS2610 sensor should be
individually calibrated by matching it with a load
resistor (R

L

) in an environment containing the target

gas concentration for alarming (refer to Fig. 2).

For the convenience of users, TGS2610 is classified
into 24 groups according to the each sensor’s Rs in
isobutane. ID numbers marked on the sensor’s body
indicate the sensor’s grouping. Individual sensor
calibration can be eliminated by matching the sensor
with the recommended R

L

 for each  sensor ID.

However, because group calibration is used instead
of individual calibration, an average of 10% less
accuracy would result for detectors using group
calibration. Please refer to “Application Notes for
TGS2610” for more information.
