MQ-4 Natural Gas Sensor Module

This is a straightforward MQ-4  Gas Sensor Module that detects the presence of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), methane (CH4), and other gases in the air. Our MQ-4 sensor is used in the module. It simplifies the interface to the sensor’s odd pin spacing by providing the interface via standard 4 x 0.1?? header pins.
It has an analogue output that corresponds to the concentration of gases in the air and a simple digital output. The onboard potentiometer can be used to set the maximum gas concentration that will trigger the digital output. The MQ-4 sensor is capable of detecting natural gas concentrations ranging from 200 to 10000ppm.
Simply connect the MQ 4 sensor module to 5V, set the threshold, and you can begin measuring the gas concentration in the air around the sensor! The presence of any gas is indicated by an onboard LED. Microcontrollers and other circuits can easily interface with the digital output. The analogue output can be connected to a microcontroller’s ADC to obtain a wide range of sensor readings.
This is a simple compressed natural gas (CNG) sensor for sensing natural gas concentrations in the air (mostly Methane [CH4]).
If you want to use this MQ-4 Gas Sensor Module with Arduino, for that you will need 

• Arduino
• jumper wires
• buzzer or siren

Features:

• Signal output indicator
• Dual Signals output (analog output and TTL output)
• The TTL output signal is low level, allows to connect with SCM directly
• High sensitivity
• Long working life and stable performance
• Quick response and recovery.
