Electrochemical CH2O Detection Module ZE08-CH2O

Profile

ZE08-CH2O is a general-purpose and miniaturization electrochemical formaldehyde detection module. It utilizes the electrochemical principle to detect CH2O in air which makes the module with high selectivity and stability. It is a built-in temperature sensor to make temperature compensation. It has digital output and analog voltage output at the same time. It is a combination of mature electrochemical detection principles and sophisticated circuit design.

Features

• High sensitivity &resolution, Low power consumption, Long life *UART/Analog Voltage/PWM wave output.
• Good stability, excellent ability of Anti-interference * Temperature compensation, Excellent Linear output.

Main Application
Portable detector, air-quality monitor, air cleaner, air renewal system, air conditioner, smart home.

Pin Description

Communication Protocol

General Settings

Commands
There are two communication type: active upload type and Q&A type. The default type for this module is active upload and it sends gas concentration every other one second. If the user switched to the question and answer mode, need to re-switch to active upload, send the following command line format:

Checksum and calculation

• Function Name: unsigned char FucCheckSum(char *i,charlie)
• Functional description: Sum check【Take Not(Byte1+Byte2+…Byte7) +1】
• Function declaration: Take Not(Byte1+Byte2+…ByteX (X>2)
• unsigned char FucCheckSum(unsigned char i,unsigned char ln) { unsigned char j,tempq=0; i+=1; for(j=0;j<(ln-2);j++) { tempq+=i; i++; } tempq=(~tempq)+1; return(temp); }

Cross interference gas

Packing

1. Place the sensor in the same direction in the blister tray.
2. Place the sensor’s blister trays in the appropriate number of layers according to the box specifications.
3. Place the packaged sensor in the carton.
4. The carton is sealed and packed.
5. Orders with a single shipment less than the minimum package are not subject to this specification.

Cautions

1. Sensor shall Avoid organic solvents, coatings, medicine, oil and high-concentration gases
2. The module may not be completely encapsulated with resin material, nor may it be immersed in an oxygen-free environment, otherwise the performance of the sensor may be damaged;
3. Modules cannot be used in environments with corrosive gases for long periods of time, and corrosive gases can damage the sensor;
4. Excessive impact or vibration should be avoided；
5. The initial power-up of the module needs to be preheated for 24-48 hours so that the module is fully stabilized and then tested normally.
6. Please do not use the modules in systems which related to human beings’ safety.
7. Please do not use the modules in a strong air convection environment.
8. Do not leave the module in a high concentration of organic gas for a long time. If it is placed for a long time, it will cause the sensor zero to drift and recover slowly.
9. It is forbidden to use hot melt adhesive or sealant package modules with a curing temperature higher than 80 °C;
10. It is forbidden to store and use in high-concentration alkaline gas for a long time.
