General Description
The ams HPS-100 Hydrogen Process Sensor is an accurate, fast responding sensor designed for installation in harsh environments such as fuel cells, for example. The sensor will
measure hydrogen in the range of 0–100% and will function up to 3 bar(a).
The HPS-100 Hydrogen Process Sensor features reduced power consumption, provides
increased packaging flexibility, and includes a CAN interface with a standard MQS
four-pin connector. Self-testing at start up and advanced error handling ensure reliable

operation. In addition, a short-start up time enables an intermittant mode of operation
that minimizes current current consumption better.
The HPS-100 Hydrogen Process Sensor will provide hydrogen detection and measurement for applications where conditions are harsh. With an IP6K9K rating and designed
towards ATEX 100a zone 2, this sensor can be installed almost anywhere.
