New in the Maritex Portfolio – PDEM Modules from FIGARO

We are pleased to announce the expansion of the Maritex product portfolio with PDEM (High-functionality Gas Sensor Evaluation Modules) from FIGARO Engineering Inc., a globally recognized manufacturer of gas sensors.
PDEM (EM-P series) evaluation modules are designed to simplify and accelerate the assessment of FIGARO’s MOS, electrochemical, and catalytic gas sensors. Each module is individually pre-calibrated at the FIGARO factory, ensuring reliable and repeatable measurements from the very first use. The modules provide both digital (I2C) and analog outputs, enabling direct access to gas concentration data or IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) index values in the case of air quality sensors. Thanks to the integrated Renesas HS4001 temperature and humidity sensor, the modules offer built-in compensation of raw sensor signals, ensuring improved accuracy under varying environmental conditions, while simultaneously monitoring ambient temperature and humidity. The onboard Pmod interface is fully compatible with Renesas QuickConnect systems, allowing easy implementation of wireless communication or seamless daisy-chaining with other Pmod™-compatible sensor modules.
PDEM Module Features
The modules support multiple gas sensing technologies, including:
- Semiconductor (MOS) sensors
- Electrochemical sensors
- Catalytic sensors
- Optical (NDIR) sensors
Key features:
- Factory calibration and ready-to-use design
- Digital and analog output signals
- Built-in temperature and humidity sensor with measurement compensation
- Integrated signal processing algorithms (concentration calculation, drift compensation)
- Compatibility with the Renesas Quick-Connect platform for simplified IoT integration
The use of PDEM modules significantly reduces development and testing time in gas detection system design.
