Home Question Answer How is an MQ2 gas sensor triggered? How is an MQ2 gas sensor triggered? An MQ2 gas sensor is triggered when it senses smoke around it and sends a high output voltage. If there is no smoke, then the sensor will send a low output voltage. Related Questions How much power does the MQ2 gas sensor consume? What is an “anti-explosion network”?
