Description
MQ5-Gas Sensor Module is used in gas leakage detection, and is suitable for home and industrial equipment for LPG, natural gas, coal gas detection, and monitoring. The sensitive material used in the MQ5 gas sensor is SnO2, which has lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gases exist in the atmosphere, the sensor’s conductivity increases with the gas concentration.

Product Description
To use the Sensor Module, you have to power the device with a 5V supply and the Power LED will start to glow. You should give it some time for its preheating period before start reading the output. While measuring the gas present, the Output LED will glow in a specific concentration of the gas. You can change it by using the potentiometer. Else you can also use the Analog Output to see how your program reacts to different concentrations of gases present.
