HPS-100
Automotive Hydrogen Sensor
General Description
The HPS-100 is an automotive hydrogen sensor that monitors
hydrogen concentrations of 0 – 100 Vol%. The design fulfills
Zone 2 requirements according to ATEX 100a. The predicted
concentration is transmitted to the host via the CAN bus
interface or PWM.

CAN Bus Interface
This section describes the CAN bus interface that is available in
some variants of HPS-100.
Physical Interface
The physical interface is two-wire balanced. It is a high speed
CAN interface (ISO 11898-2) with bus bit rate at 500 kbit/s.
CAN Matrix
HPS-100 will send the first CAN message within 0.1 s after reset.
The repetition rate of the CAN messages is 100ms ± 2ms. The
first H 2 concentration will be delivered after 5 s. The CAN
messages prior to that will have the Not_ready bit set,
indicating that the concentration value of the message is not
valid.
In case of a warm restart (<5 s) error category 1 will be set for
10 s. The Msg Counter increments with each CAN message.
The CAN message has the ID 1120 (0x0460). The byte 7 is not
used and has the value 0.

HPS-100 − Electrical Inter face
PWM
This section describes the PWM output that is available in some
variants of HPS-100.
Physical Interface
The electrical connector is the same as in the variants with CAN
bus interface (see Electrical Connector ).
The PWM signal is created as a differential CAN signal on pin 3
and 4. A CAN signal is said to be in a dominant state when the
signal lines are separated (a dominant bit is transmitted). When
the signal lines are at the same voltage level, the state is
recessive. Recommended circuitry to convert CAN signals to
TTL is specified in a separate document, available on request.
The PWM signal is only an output signal. No other transmitting
devices should be attached to the bus.
The PWM Signal
The PWM signal has a period time of 255 μs. The rather short
period is chosen since modern CAN transceivers do not allow
for a longer dominant state.
The duration of the recessive state can be translated into output
H 2 prediction from the sensor module. The recessive duration
(pulse width) ranges from 20 to 220 μs, which corresponds to 0
to 100% hydrogen. An error is shown as a 10 μs pulse width. At
startup the pulse width will be 255 μs (100% duty cycle) until
the first valid H 2 concentration is delivered after 5 s.

The figure below shows the output for 0% hydrogen (pulse
width of 20 μs).

Sensor Output for 0% Hydrogen (Pulse Width of 20 μs)
The relation between detected H 2 concentration (in ppm) and
pulse width (in μs) is:

H 2 = (pulse width – 20)*5000

HPS-100 − Handling Instructions
Handling Instructions
Due to the fact that the sensor element consists of a silicon chip
facing the surrounding the following precautions have to be
taken into account:
During storage and handling avoid:
• Humidity (condensing conditions)
• Dropping (sensor must be replaced if dropped)
• Dust (especially if cap is removed)
• Mechanical impact (especially the entrance membrane)
• Electromagnetic radiation (rf fields, high magnetic fields)
In case of storage and transport it is recommended to keep the
sensor within its original packaging (plastic cap and ESD
protected bubble bag). The disassembly of any parts is not
allowed, except for the removal of the plastic cap directly before
final assembly.
